so it seems i have been lagging on this so i figure now is a good time to start. to start out i got my X in 2008... or 9.. this was after i had gotten my license suspended for too many points on my record. i figured i needed something big and slow, something i could offroad. i had my eye on a 03 4Runner but it seems that the one i was looking at was already sold. walked around the lot and saw her.. and said.. hey.. why not? did some research and 2 days later she was mine. here she is all brand new to me. 2004 SE 4X4
first thing i decided to do was paint the plastics.. few coats of cheapo walmart rattle can and good as new. (still holding up)
after that it was time for a body lift. unfortunately i only have one pic which was when i had one side done
after derping around on the forums someone had AC shackles for sale.. so they were mine and slapped them on
here she is ass up in the air (i wasnt driving so it sat like this for awhile
later on cranked the torsion bars and she sat with stock rake.
finally got my license back and it was time to get her dirty
time for some new rubber and wheels
put some 285/75/r16s with some wheels. no idea wht they are. bought them off another X owner who went with alloy wheels
aint she puurty?
threw in a push start button.(short lived, started acting weird)
i had installed a power inverter to the back.. unfortunately i hadnt fused it.. i had plans to but yea... didnt do it on time and it grounded out in the back and caught fire
grabbed a few of these and threw them on. one in the back and one on the center console on the passenger side.
as everyone knows mpgs suck so after watching Xtreme 4X4 i threw in a driving coach. worked well and saved. still need to find a permenant way to attatch this
