I found a guy locally on craigslist (Charlotte, NC) parting out a 93 4runner. I paid him a visit last night. i was hoping to find a good bumper, valence, grille, and headlights. Unfortunately the bumper and valence were junk. But, I was able to score the grille, headlights(complete- bulbs, lenses, buckets, and pig tails) I was also able to score a set of slightly dirty but other wise perfect gray cloth buckets. All for the low, low price of $100. I took everything to work with me today just in case we were a little slow. I had enough time today to actually get the grille and headlights in today. Honestly, it was a lot easier than expected. It only required very minimal cutting. i think i might have taken out a total of maybe 4 sq inches at the most. I had already installed the runner fenders about 2 weeks ago i found them at the local u-pull-it. I have the clear corners on order should be here by the middle of next week. I know everyone is going to want to see some pics but it is too dark to take them now and I forgot to do it earlier but i will take them tomorrow and try to get them posted up. I should have my seats in by then as well. I received the truck with honda civic buckets in it and i hate them. I can't ready for somethings a little more comfortable.
hers some pics for ya <a href="http://s384.photobucket.com/albums/oo290/rwmagee90/?action=view¤t=HPIM0272.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo290/rwmagee90/HPIM0272.jpg" border="0" alt="4 runner clip"></a>
my clear corners have arrived today i will get them installed tomorrow and i will also take pics of my seats i found a trick to mount the seat belts without having to weld in nuts for them. i will disclose it in the pics.
i got my corners in today. Unfortunately I ordered them before i knew i was getting the grille so soon. I had ordered the 4wd clears to run with my 2wd grille for the time being. Well they don't quite match up but they will have to do till i get paid again and i can order the right ones.
honestly it was relatively easy. to do the grille and headlights only took about an hour and a half at my shop.
that looks very good? what's your shop name? btw have you heard of One Stop Shop? i forgot the name, but it's my sister's gas station in South Carolina. Vi and Vincent. you might know them. btw nice truck
