First post was 2009…. It is finally back in my hands for good. I just need to get the electronics sorted and minor details added such as paint the manual locking hubs… stuff like that. Other than minor stuff, this rig is finally finished and ready to break the internet. Thanks to n00b for building the body in 2009. And thanks to Mike for painting, detailing and assembling all the bits. Especially that spot on full interior. I will update this when I get it running. Enjoy the magic |

So Bob decided to part with this rig, he hit me up to ask about a $ amount and instead I struck a deal to get it... I had put a lot of blood sweat and tears into this thing (literally) and its a just a badass ride. I wasnt feeling the wheels Bob had on it so I told him to keep them and I tossed some RC4WD 1.7 Mickey Thompson wheels and stretched 1.55 stompers on. I might swap the stompers out for some MT/Rs cause they are just that awesome. Snapped a few pics, have plans to add some additional details for this thing, maybe a contender for next years USTE Concourse event |

Brought this bad boy down to USTE, despite it being an older build it still kicked ass and was dubbed the "prius" crawler its insanely quiet operation.

I was just reading back in the thread and saw you did the same tire wheel combo on with the 1.55 rock stompers on the 1.7 beadlocks that I just tried, lol. Good looking combo though. How are you liking the 1.7 goodyear mt's? Also look great.

Yes sir, I own I think the majority of n00b made 4runners. The MTRs might quite possibly be my favorite tire from them ever (aside from stompers), not only do the look great they work great too. I like to stretch the 1.7s onto 1.9s | |
