Re: Ty's 1996 4Runner "FARM TOY"

I am trying to get a list put together of things I need to get done before June 4th. I can only think of a couple, but I know there are more.

1. ~~wire CB. It is installed in the dash, but that's where I stopped.~~
2. install my steering stabilizer.
3. clean and paint my front end, front leafs, ect.
4. remove old tire carrier from the trunk (it rattles and make the vibration from the tires sound so much worse)
5. ~~mount and wire new floods. (I'm to cheap/broke to buy LEDs)~~
6. figure out front blinkers.
7. finish trailer, or at least make it usable (with gear, food, and fuel, I don't have room without it).

Cheap LEDs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400736053692?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have a set, they're going to make great rock lights or camp lights. I need to order more.

I should order a couple sets of those.

I have a shit ton of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-White-24-LED-Flexible-Waterproof-Strip-Light-9-24cm-Car-Auto-Grill-Lamp-Bulb-/381234826414?hash=item58c35dccae&vxp=mtr

I built a CB antenna/quick disco flag mount, from a piece of scrap I found at work.

Any plans for the front bumper?

by Ty Mon May 04, 2015 9:11 am

Still brain storming.

Very high possibility that this will be for sale in the next couple days. I hate to do it, but with how slow it's been at work and bills starting to pile up, I don't know if I have another option. Thoughts on a good starting point for price??

I've been seriously considering it for a while now. This might just be enough to push it to happen. If I can get enough I could pay off some bills and start saving for something new.

There's a couple other 4Runners for sale on RME right now, not listed for as much as you'd think and they haven't sold yet.

I do not approve this message, but I do understand it. What does it cost you to sit in the garage? Wouldn't it be worth keeping for that amount alone?

Bummer deal, but the way built rigs are selling now I wouldn't expect much more than 5-7k. Its worth more than that to you and you should just hold onto it Very Happy

If I could get 6-7k I would be tickled pink, but I don't know if I can. However, my Ford Focus may have just postponed the sale. Either the battery or alternator bit the dust yesterday and I can't afford to fix it yet. So I'm driving the runner as DD.

by Ty Thu Feb 04, 2016 12:58 am

I do this summer. Once wrestling is over and before football starts!! I'm not much of a cold weather camper.

Sorry guys!! I got moved to da shift for a couple of months and qwasn't able to check at work. now i'm back on grave and out of the habit. I will try to check in more often. I got a little 2 wheel drive truck to run around in, so this summer I will be up for some camping. I will just have to ride shotgun if we hit anything slightly difficult.

Hey Josh, what's the front axle under that parts truck you're getting rid of? I think I have an idea. Twisted Evil
