UPDATE: 8/07 Hey guys, its been a while since I've been on this site. But yes, the 4Runner is officially gone!!! I will always miss this truck and enjoyed it for the time I had it. I sold all of the parts and sold the truck in stock condition.

After the 4Runner I purchased an '04 BMW M3. I kept the M3 for about a year and got rid of it when it was time to buy a house (6/07). The M3 has got to be one of the best cars I have ever owned, hands down. It was just an expense I didn't need when buying your first home. So, now I'm driving an '04 Nissan Frontier and will be adding a 6" lift with 35's soon!

If anybody has any specific questions on the truck, email me at jcardona408@sbcglobal.net Thanks for all the support guys!

After 16x10 Helo Maxx's...



After body lift and 35's...
















Before body lift and 35's...




















Just wanna show you guys how I keep my baby (4Runner) safe from any unwanted visitors. "The Bitch" is a Remington 870 Home Defense model shotgun with a 6+1 shell capacity. It's equipped with a Surefire G2 Tactical Light, Glo-Sight, Side-Saddle Shell Holder, Heat Shield, Flash Suppressor, Law Enforcement-issue Folding Stock (not shown), and a side-mounted Laser Sight (not like if I need one!). Just in case your wondering, I usually load her up with 00 Buck Shot or some deadly hollow-point slugs. After ripping throught the perpetrator, a slug will go through about 3 walls, 2 dogs and a cat before coming to a stop! Also pictured is my buddy's Mossberg pump with a 10-round Knoxx Sidewinder drum, Glock 9mm with a 32-round clip, and an AB-10 also with a 32-round clip.







Here's a pic of my freind's Hellbound 805hp HKS-powered Supra out of Modesto, CA. That huge front intercooler lets you you know there some serious stuff going on here!! By the way, on the road, you won't see the front-end of this car for too long...all you will hear is the deafening roar being forced out of the HKS Carbon Fiber/Titanium Exhaust!!
Here's the Supra again, this time on Endless USA's website. If you know anything about cars, you'll know that Endless is a very serious, very prestigious company. Endless is known for thier utmost commitment to quality and craftsmanship. This Supra is 1 of the 4 promotional vehicles sponsored by Endless USA. Check them out at www.endlessusa.com
Here's my friend's 2000 4Runner,the cleanest I've ever seen! You gotta love those amber corner lights! All JDM!! With a TRD Supercharger and Apex'i engine control electronics, this 4Runner can put many sport compacts to shame!-Modesto, CA
Ever wonder how a 4Runner would look if you lowered it and put a body kit on it?? This thing is sweet, not my style but very nice. This 4Runner (Hiux Surf) is from Japan's HSOC (Hilux Surf Owner's Club)They have only one U.S. member, and that is the guy that owns the black 4Runner above. Click this link: HSOC of Japan, to see many more Hilux Surfs, both lowered and lifted to the max!! It's all in Japanese so you can't read none of it, but the pictures are awesome. Guys in Japan have an interesting way of modifying thier 4Runners!
Who is this you ask? Only the hottest girl alive...Vida Guerra. Sorry guys-she's already taken...by me!...I wish. Keep an eye out for this girl...she's gonna take the spotlight away from Jennifer Lopez!
