Slow build of the 4runner

[ttora4runner]

ttora4runner - sorry, I just realized I never replied to your PM about the fuse block. I guess you got everything figure out though; the install looks great!

No problem. It was pretty easy. I just overthink things a bit.

Third best 5 minutes I ever spent in my truck! Thanks man!

Your welcome.

It's the spare tire rim from a Tacoma.

I was helping someone out with a tire problem so we were switching tires around and I couldn't help but take a photo.

Looks great! I like your Light Force 170's, 4 of those are on my roof rack wish list.

Next on the list:

Rear Diff breather extention
Tacoma whip antenna (ripped the stupid power antenna off, well maybe a few trees and a car wash played a hand in that).

Nice build, I love it ! Subscribed also. :snorkel:

Did the rear diff breather extention, pretty simple and straight forward took about 20 minutes of my time and $20 from my wallet for clamps, hose, union fitting and new breather. I'm just hoping I left enough hose for when the axle flexes.

Stock breather is in the middle.

There's a little more hose slack up around the gas filler neck

Really couldn't fiqure out a better way to hide to the clamp but this will work. There is still enough clearance for the door to close.

Also, started on a template for the front mud flaps (thanks Oldsven for the idea :victory. Still needs a little tweaking. I'm going to take out that curve on the right and just run it straight like others have done but I wanted to see what it would look like and probable do a little trimming for some plastic pieces underneath for a cleaner fit. For the curve on the bottom I just made a template of the rear mudflaps and used that for these.

Need to do some trimming on the inside but it still gives a me a good idea.

Once I get everything trimmed up right I'll transfer to some 1/8" plastic I picked up from a friend.

Stock tacoma mud flaps fit if you stumble upon a set, just fyi. Sounds like you already have the materials lined up though.

Dude, you gotta lemme know when you do mods like this. This has been on my list for ages and I've still not gotten around to doing it... i would've loved to get together and knock them out together.

I still have to do the Tacoma whip antenna. :sombrero:

Just ordered the parts for the Tacoma whip antenna swap. Kind of getting sick of hearing the motor run for the antenna.


Trying to find the non-motorized antenna assembly from a Toyota 4runner is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. Ended up having to buy a new one.
