Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Newer 4runner wheels that have been painted?

 

OEM 4Runner 'Trail Edition' wheels.

 

Took advantage of a 85 degree spring day in Minnesota to detail and wax my truck.

 

Not painted there Oem trail edition

 

Old girl still shines!

 

130k still needs lots of work, lots of off road rattles and vibrations

 

Nice mid-rise cap

 

T-150
I'm not actually sure on the bully bar brand, it was already on there. It has the same visuals as a Westin Ultimate, but no lower plate thing.

 

I was thinking Westin but yeah the lower plate thing is different, in a good way.... looks good.

 

Arizona is nice.

 

Black fender flares look nice!

SWAT Team?

 

I wondered about you a while back. Glad to see you post again. Truck looks good.

 

@TX-TRD1stGEN I notice you're running somethign different from the shoes you had a while back. (link)

What are the details on the new setup?

 

ooo-wee mama that is a beautiful deep dark black. Maybe it's just the contrast from my eyes with the completely blacked-out look, but that paint looks immaculate.

 

I have increased my tire size to 315 70 r17. Toyo open country mt

new wheels are from Relations Race Wheels. RR5-V 17x8.5 -25

front lift is bilstein 5100 top notch

rear has aal and 5100 shocks

installed jba upper control arms

installed jba headers

 

Looks awesome, no rub with the front mudflap deleted? How you feel about it vs. the non-MT 285/70r17 you had before (I think)?

 

I cut the pinch weld off and rewelded. There is no rub on the street. I am sure if I started flexing it off-road something would rub.

the new tires are heavy and don’t ride as nice but I really like mud tires and have run them on almost every truck I have owned.

 

Nice setup how much poke do you get with the -25 offset?

 

This thread really makes me want a 1st gen. Is it weird that I considered for a few seconds selling my 21. Think there will be plenty of good ones floating around in 5-ish years?

 

I think plenty will still be around but you'll want to be careful buying one in Ohio where you live. Rust is the #1 killer of 1st gens. If you do get serious about buying one you should be willing to travel a bit to find the right one.

 

Solid advise, thanks! Certainly agree when it comes time I'll be looking out of state, anything southern us?

 

Probably a safe bet.

 

AL, GA and SC seem to be great options based on my hunting.

But never trust where it's been based on where you're buying. And never buy without fully inspecting it yourself, or at least really f'n good pics. May be worth reading this.

 

Sedona is amazing. 10/10. I would have a vacation home there if I won the lottery.

 

@Mr.bee were you already sans bumper, or is there a sedona story?

 

Predates trek.
