    The way he put the headlights in the oven, took the glass off and painted them was slick. I just spent $400 on my 4runner headlights and they look nothing like his....excellent job. If I had his leveel of skill, I would open up a 4runner transformation shop. For 4runner diehards like me, i will spend money on my 1997 4runner. My kids grew up in it. Lots of memories, zero problems and still running as strong as ever..

    It blows my mind that people sell cars dirty, literally can lose 1000s of dollars cause they won’t spend a day washing and vacuuming, or spend 100 bucks to have someone do it. If they won’t put in the effort to vacuum it they definitely didn’t service it, best you can hope for is they changed the oil

    Much prefer these kinds of videos to someone walking around their 4runner and telling you what they did to it. Good job editing too. You just did some simple maintenance here along with some really clean upgrades, we can SEE the work you put into it and that's way cooler than just talking about it.

  • @PaulNicolau
    @PaulNicolau 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Finally a transformation that you actually do something unlike other "transformations" people where all they do is buy a set of wheels, wrap the car and put an exhaust...You actually do work especialyl the bumper and lights, and all that. Cheers

    Nice work! I like everything you did...but the wheel and tire combination is a little more mall crawler and a little less offroad for my taste. I think the sweet spot wheel/tire size combo for 3rd gen 4Runners is 8.5"x17" wheels w/-10 offset and 285-70-17 tires with a 2" lift....no spacers needed. Plenty of sidewall for offroad and still very drivable on road at highway speeds. Replacing the stock upper control arms with adjustable ones is a must to get the alignment into proper spec.

    I have a '97 SR5 I am considering doing the same thing with. Still a good rig with 300k on the odometer, but a rather large bear committed suicide by stepping out in front of me, so the 'runner now needs some work on the front end. LOVED your bumper build!! Sagging in the rear also, as they all did, so I think it's getting a little lift as well.
