After 8 years, I finally replaced the power antenna(it's never been 'down' since I bought it.... more recently, I had it duct taped together where it broke, plus taped to the windshield, hahaha.) So, a picture of my girl with the antenna down.......



And a "BEFORE" picture, for later reference when I finally have my seats reupholstered or replaced with Scion ones, like Scuba! lol.........(otherwise, the interior is pretty much mint)...

Thanks, Rob! Means a lot from another "Mr. Perseverance"! lol. Unfortunately, couldn't get it in the calendar, hahahaa. Jk...She's a bit of a ways from wheeling her like I used to, anyhow. Lower Bj's, shocks, AND THEN SOME! lol. I'm about to start all that work, including re-sealing the Diff's and Trans' main seal, plus the Mega-Travel Fab-mod that's coming soon. CAN'T WAIT! HEHEHE. LIke a kid at Christmas.... except, I'm paying for it all this time, hahaha.

Well, if I can afford it, it'll be some special UCA-LCA's this guy who builds for Sponsored Baja 500-1000 trucks does, special bushings, Fox 2.0-Shocks or Similar.... and a bunch of other things I really haven't learned about yet, lol. I'm supposed to meet with him, today, and get the whole run down. I might have to wait for a while, since I have a couple other vehicle issues that might be more pressing(have to check) and 4 family crises at once, lol. Yeah.... when it rains it pours, lol. S'all good though, everyone involved it healthy(my main concern).

You know I'll post what I'll be doing as soon as I know, Re-re, lol.

That looks like some fun mud! But hey man you have a locker, one of the most important pieces of wheeling equipment IMO

BMcEL

Bone stock...back in 2004 when I got it (I'm the second owner)



Cranked t-bars 1-2" & installed AAL with 32x11.50s



6-7" lift and 35x12.50s


Lowered it a little (removed BJ spacers & AAL), now 5-6" lift and 33x13.50s

bobby_duce

i cant agree more, it makes a huge difference. the crazy thing is i got most of the way through that mud pit in 2wd! haha

vanderwiel

bmcel, that is a sick looking truck, have any pics of it wheelin?



hmmm.. i think this is all i have for recent of my runner, havent posted a pic of it since the flares have been on..



looks a little weird on that side with the gap.. but thats cause my bumper is a little bit outta whack

I do 90% of my wheeling in 2wd when most of my non Toyota friends have to use 4Low

rattlewagon

Also agree, the locker is the best bang for the buck upgrade!!.

chef: I cant wait, it sounds like a good project!

BMcEL

Thanks man! I've been pretty easy on her lately because it's my DD and I don't take it easy when I'm wheelin, but I'll see if I can find the video where I broke one of my front axles haha. Seemed like the only person who ever brought a camera wheelin with us would take a video or two and put it away for the rest of the trip. If I can find anything I'll be sure to post it up. Good lookin runner by the way!

Bigyota1989

Ebay back in the day, I think 2005. The one I bought was 'new old stock' that Stull was clearing out and it was the last one they had. Haven't seen one since.
