Well, the rear bumper was replaced almost a year ago, when some 17 year old wasnt paying attention in the rain and slid right into me. Im not that hardore of an off roader. Ill hit up some trails and stuff, but nothing that needs the sliders.

No, you dont need to get new shocks, unless yours are blown. If you do get the 3'' spacers get the 1'' differential drop spacer kit aswell to save your cv's for as long as possible. I just went to a shop to have the spacers put on because stuffing 3'' into the coils when they are already pretty tight is pretty scary. Ohh yeah, I boughts my friends 03' taco coils. they have 9 coils rather then 8.

hmm looks like gumbo mud on the tires in thta one pic. There is mud like that in montana when it rains in the prarie. The stuff sticks to everything. I dont care how good your tires clean it builds up till they fill up the wheel wells and you tires dont spin anymore... fun stuff

Thanks, But now w/o those side steps i get massive mud up the side of my truck. And thats just from work (not trying to fling mud). Rocks also hit my doors now, they dont ping off the steps.

But your 4Runner looks so good w/o them on. Check out some sliders instead.

Sweet golf cart too.

I'm curious...I play golf maybe 3-4 times a year. You don't happen to know if it's permitted to take a modified g-cart like yours onto a public golf course do you? That'd be awesome. I'd build/buy one like that just to ride around on a golf course with and play golf.

hahaha, I honestly could not give you an answer to that, my bets are no they wont allow you to run a mod'd golf cart like that on a course. and the front wheel base is so wide it would probably not even fit on the sidewalk you drive on.

Im not that "big" on rock crawling so it would be kinda of a waste for me to get the sliders. I know that may sound upsetting to some people. But I do the occasional 4 wheelin just not as drastic as most of you guys.

Ha! My current 4Runner is by no means a drastic 4-wheelin' machine...and I've got sliders! Check out my Profile in my sig and you can see some pics of my grocery getter w/ stubb sliders. haha

But seriously, I'm working on getting a lift, bigger tires and a new front bumper. I don't wheel it much at all the way it sits currently, but after the the tires and lift, I will feel much better about wheeling it.

I like the low-profile stance of the sliders and their durability compared to bolt on side steps or factory side steps.

The the I really want to get is the is the hood with the scoop, But want it to actually work, not the fake plastic insert that is in there. Want it to cool off the S/C a tad.

thats a kick little cart there man. I see myself getting tossed out of there the first hill it jumps. You putting any kind of restraint system in it?

about the slider debate. I didnt mind the old step you had on it. sure it would not hold up to much. but if you dont do a whole lot of off roading then put them back on.
Some nice sliders would look good on it though. And who doesnt want a working scoop.

I am working on reinforcing the frame right now so it doesnt crumple when I jump it. The next step is bucket seats with a 3 point harness.

The first time i took it to the dunes (glamis) I tipped it over with the stock roof on it, when we got back to camp my light was busted off and the roof was leaning way to the passenger side. Ohh when we tipped my buddy landed on top of me. He still has a dent in his leg from the steering wheel.

I am reconsidering the sliders. im starting to grow on the the more I see them.

Although Im liking the clean look of no steps or sliders.
