Hey guys. I don't have a 3rd gen but I do have a 1st gen and this is my build/BS thread. Feel free to come and have fun.

I have 03 peerunner. It is 2wd but soon that shall change when I get a daily and finish collecting parts to do a conversion. This is what I have on my current set-up. Yes I take her out on the dirt.

This is what she looked like when I first picked her up. Untouched virgin taco :')

Great looking truck. Any plan for a front bumper?

Thanks brotha, In the future yes. Hoping to have it within a month or two. I'm having a local dude help me cut it and weld it together. Probably just do a tube bumper for now, might even throw on a rear one on at the same time just to help with lift sag being level.
 
Whats the mileage on this thing? Hope I have mine that long
 
I also replaced outer tire rods, LCA, LBJ, and sway bar bushing 6 months ago. So whole new front end.

Keep us posted with pics and commentary. This is something I've always been interested in doing.
 
Got the u-bolts in the mail on Saturday. Just been lazy. Probably going to wait till I get harness or I may just install this weekend if I can get some help. Then put the harness on after.
 
Spectacular looking 1st Gen.
