    Gabe's 90 4runner

    I bought my 1990 4runner stock in December 2006... it's coming along nicely, but slowly....

    Here's what it looks like now



    And the rest of the pics are pretty much a log of the jobs I've done and trips I've made along the way...

    We had some snow, and I took off my rear bumper...

    Okay, so the engine is dying now, it's started knocking and I've had a huge loss in power...
    But look what it can still do...

    I put a new engine in and put LC coils in the rear with OME N74L's...

    I still have to raise the front with spacers...

    I put in the ball joint spacers

    It seems the rear may be a little high still, I'm not completely sure yet...

    And I had to design a new rack mounting system for the basket, so it didn't hit the door going in the garage... (cost about $50 and attaches to factory rack)

    I went out to White Rock Mountain (for those of you who know where that is) this weekend with a friend. Camped out and then the next morning went out 4wheeling up the mountain to White Rock. It ended up raining, sleeting and snowing all night. And then it snowed all day while I was driving up the mountain.
    Here's some pics...

    I moved to Houston at the beginning of May, so I've had a little bit of a change of scenery.
    Even though the waves aren't that great, I love being out in the ocean again.

    Well, it's been a while but here's an update... Moved out to San Luis Obispo, CA. Been here for about a year and a half. Since the last time I posted I've done a few things to my 4runner. So here's a list...

    Flat Blacked the hood


    Built a sub box that mounts to the ceiling with 2 shallow mount 12" subs and a 900W RMS amp. I haven't finished it yet, but it is installed, functioning and sounds great! Also, lined the entire truck with dynamat type stuff that quiets the ride a lot.






    I also got some factory rack rails and extended my rack system to the front.


    Flat Blacked the roof


    Extended the rack basket to the full length of the roof

    Re: Gabe's 90 4runner

    Got a couple Christmas presents and finally got them on the truck. First one is a snorkel and second is a rear bumper. The snorkel is a hilux snorkel. The bumper is 1.75 DOM and has a Built-In Class 2 Rated Rear Hitch. I was debating between this one and the Marlin Crawler bumper. But marlin crawler doesn't have the Class 2 rating. This bumper is from 4x Innovations. Once I got it, I had it powder coated at a local shop. So here's some pics.
