smkd13's 4Runner
2013 T.a.Co Moab Trip by TacomaWorld.com - Click Me
Please sign up on this thread if you are going. Last page has a running list on it.
I acquired a 2001 Toyota 4Runner back in November 2012 with 126k on the clock. My "Heep" Grand Cherokee is now :rip: Didn't get to do much to it at first, but slowly i have been doing my research and getting together what i want to do with it and now I am actually starting my build.
As I am new to this site, most of you don't know me but I am not new to off-roading or vehicle modification. I have a strong history with electronics. I don't like to take my cars/trucks to shops because i like to learn from experience.
Here she sits shortly after i got her:

Re: smkd13's 4Runner
your rig is gonna be so sick man! seeing those 33's is really making me want to swap mine out now haha. I found some sick rims that are coming out pretty soon that are actually affordable.
So yeah, if the money comes in this summer I may be able to keep up with ya haha!

what rims are coming out? and how much are they gonna be? I think the 33s will look much better under my truck for sure though lol which by the way I am actually gonna be doing up in idaho. Kinda don't have time to do it before. but you can still check out the ride of the Boss kit later..

This will come in handy! I need to rewire my rear elocker (not full rewire just want to put a new switch) and wire my new front. I have the schematics, but am to stupid to read them.

ya know it is a toss up with me right now between the addicted and the savage rear. I want a rear swing away. if addicted will make me one with the rear swing away i will got that route cause well i like his bumper but i also like how the Savage is made and after talking to them about their locking mechanism for the swing away, i like it. they made it very "stiff" so that it wont come undone or become "rattley" lol

Re: smkd13's 4Runner
If you can drop your truck of at Addicted's shop they'll make a swing out/up rear tire carrier on their bumper. I'm sure we could figure out a way to fab up a rear tire system on any bumper you end up getting.
