Well the 4runner is a friends, I dont do trucks and SUV's. I can't stand them honestly..feels like a big cluster of garbage driving down the road.

As far as the rims go , I have no idea I was just strolling through a pawn shop one day for shits and giggles and noticed them stacked in a corner by some Tv's so I popped over to check them out and they had the DSM center cap so I asked him if I could take one out side and swap with the factory wheel and he said yeah and it fit so I paid 200.00 for them with the Eagle RS-A's. They have wheel locks so no stealy steal.

What the hell could be worse right ?

LMAO!!

Dude he was talking about your car, not the 4runner. He called it a 4x4 because your car is so high off the ground.

Re: Pictures of my 99 , Yay

Now for more pictures...of my free 420A motor tear down process... Now its bare , I am taking it in for an acid bath on wednesday and getting it bored probably friday or monday after. The crank has a few 'minor' scars so I am going to see if it can be saved in anyway.

Day of tear down…


Another angle…


About 30 minutes later…


All the stuff removed…


Holes in the pistons I’d say…


Whats left of #1 and #4 bearings are little metal flakes…


Empty block…


Some metal particles from the bearings…
