thanks fredo, they both need a HEAVY paint correction (4runner is much worse off) but the ZHP won't get its treatment until spring time.

Black always does clean up well, just a matter of KEEPING it clean

Yup. Congrats

Over the past two weeks Ive been working to sell my 1998 4runner in favor of something slightly newer. Finally found something that mostly fit the bill aside from the work it needed, so I decided to bite the bullet:

2001 T4R SR5 Sport with 161k miles (3 owner clear history)

Nice, looks real clean! What color is the interior? We have a 2006 T4R SR5 Sport with 140K and still runs and looks great! The only thing I've done to it since new is plugs, battery, brakes, wiper blades, signal bulbs and oil changes. Such a reliable vehicle. Congrats on the purchase. :thumbsup

Thanks, they are tanks. Super reliable trucks they are. The interior is a light tan. Only big issue is the frame rust on the early Toyota trucks. It's going to be a slight uphill climb for my brother to get the rust on this truck neutralized

alright: now that the T4R is in order and on the road and the ZHP is up for winter, i can concentrate ON the ZHP.

past 2-2.5 months I've been doing truck stuff (putting some money in my old white T4R, buying this new truck, modding/maintenance/getting this current T4R up to daily driver status) which has set me back:

remount/balance, sway bar end links, mild stripping of the frame to get rid of rust then preventative undercoating, re-tint a window, new antenna/radio, painting various bits including the wheels/tails/turns/trim, oil change, good solid detail, some light bulbs, and exhaust work.


sent the BBS CH wheels off for powder coat weds. ill post pics here when they return (pending i like the result, otherwise ill send them back for something different haha)

next step is to work on purchasing suspension/suspension refresh bits.

Where did you send your wheels?

Paint and Powder Pros north of Cinci


My brother is a service manager at Mercedes Benz Fort Mitchell here in NKY and they send all their wheels to them for work, even customer requests/custom stuff they want done.

Perfect. Thank you.
