meet-up: Lee / Cebby / Bostonrunner

met up with these two guys at a sports bar. almost missed bostonrunner, as he arrived late and didnt see us inside... but after talking to cebby over a few beers we stumbled upon him in the parking lot, luckily!

unfortunately, cebby had his cherokee (as you can see in the last pic)... so we didnt get to check out his rig.

here are the pics, i know cebby has more:











couple of great guys who know their stuff... lots to learn from them. hope to see them again sometime.

Ahhhh!! Boston!!!

...don't miss it 90% for the coldness that this wussy Californian was never able to take

Looks like you guys had a good time.

Hey Boston4runner: I clicked on your link and saw all your surf links. In particular, I saw your NESurf.com link. By chance, have you met the creator of that website, Christian Munz? That slacker and I went to grad school together. If you've met him or know him personally, tell him the "Head Rug Boy from Babson" tells him "Wassup". He'll get a laugh!

What a small world!

I haven't heard from him in a few years b/c he doesn't write back (slacker), but yeah, tell him the Head Rug Boy from Babson wishes him well. Ask him to tell you the story about the nickname

Here's my pics. I thought I took more than 3 pics, but that's all that was in my camera

Eli - good call on the location!

Great to meet you guys! Always good to talk Yotas with some addicts like myself. Great 4Runners by the way - too bad mine didn't make the trip.



This is Boston4Runner's custom intake. His rig sounds nasty (in a good way) with this intake and custom exhaust.

Look on Boston4Runner's site (in his sig) and click on the 4Runner link. He has a Safari rack that he customized by adding a front section to it and tied it into his front grilleguard.

it was good to meet you guys

I really like the mirror with the compass in your rig

thanks for the compliments on my truck, I appreciate it

it will really start looking good and be more functional when I do the lift
