3rd Coast Runner build up

[3rdCoastRunner]

Hey y'all! Name's Jake. I'm a newb to this site but I frequent YotaTech under the name CC_Yota. I thought I'd introduce my truck for my first post.

I've got a 95 4runner with the 3VZE/A340H combo with stock 4.88's. I've had this truck a little more than a year, and mods are limited right now due to unemployed college student resources.

I've taken a lot of inspiration from BRuceTS' and DeathRunner's rigs, and the Chaos Edition 4Runner. And would like to build mine into more of an all around rig. A rig that can handle high speed runs down the beach, trail riding and some mild rock crawling, but still be comfortable for the long treks across Texas.

Future mods include:
FROR front bumper with severe use front frame brace
VisionX lights
Rear locker, probably lunch box for now
Roof rack
Fiberglass up front with tubbed inner fender wells
1" RB body lift
Long travel shock hoops front and rear
- TC style
And hopefully the JD Fab T1 kit with coil overs

Suspension:
BJ spacers
SAW T-bars (will probably be replaced with OME T-bars)
Cruiser coils
OME front shocks and stabilizer
Skyjacker LC rear coils (need something cheap at the time)

Wheels and Tires:
15x8 Rock Crawler wheels with 3" BS and beadlock ring
- beadlock ring not functional. Picked them up for $75 because they're reverse mount.
32x11.50 BFG A/Tko's

Miscellaneous:
ISR mod
Cobra cb
Magnetic mount antennae
JVC double din HU
Infinty components
10" Infinty sub in 1 cu. foot hatch back box
Jensen 300w amp
Husky liners

Anyway, on the the pics, no matter how limited they may be at the moment...

Evening after I bought it and removed the running boards and mud flaps

Alright, time for a update.

I received my FROR bumper and brace. I don't have any pics of the brace or installation because I forgot the camera. Everything is of excellent craftsmanship, I ran into a few issues but not because of quality just lack of research on my part.

Anyways on to the pics. These are from a fishing trip Down the National Seashore.

The fishing was horrible and 30 mph winds on Big Shell suck but all in all it was a good trip. Although, I did find out that my Runner doesn't like thick, wet, soft sand wile loaded down with gear. I had to stop and let the engine cool down about 10 times within a 20 mile stretch. So it looks like an auxiliary oil cooler and better fan are in order.

Oh and we also came across a porpoise or dolphin carcass, I know it's gross but I had to take a pic and share it with everyone since it was a first for me.
