Another New 4Runner (autumn metallic)

[nater]

Hey all, just wanted to take a moment to say hi and start a build thread for my new 99 4runner. I got it about 2 weeks ago, and have some big plans. It turns out the truck is a fairly rare color, since no one has ever seen one, and the dealer thought I was crazy when I told them what color it was. Anyways, it is a 99 limited v6 4x4 with a center locking diff and 95k miles. It has lived its entire life in the south, there is not a touch of even surface rust on it anywhere. I have taken off the running boards in preparation for a set of Stubbs HD-SKO sliders that I ordered last week. Coming up is a Soranan Steel 1.2 lift and some bumpers. After that onboard air and ARB lockers.

Some pics:

I have not ever seen that color, sounds like you have quite a build list. Keep the pics coming.

All Limiteds have a CDL. Or are you talking about a rear locker? The center diff is locked by the J-shift lever and the rear locker button is to the left of the steering wheel.

Nice color, BTW. It's actually called, "Autumn Blaze Metallic." And definitely of the more rare colors.

Your build-up plan is pretty much what I did to mine...Stubbs HD-SKOs; Sonoran Steel system 1.2, Armorology bumpers front and rear...

Get your popcorn and your checkbook ready...

man, i dig that color. should be able to hide the dirt well, since it is already dirt colored! i'd say you got a nice, low milage rig, and a lot of guys agree the 99 era runners are very good vehicles.

Nice find...that has always been my favorite 4Runner color.

Nice 4runner.

The only other 4runner I've seen in that color was in Yuma, Az.

Very nice find and color, as stated above. Good luck on the build, sounds like you are on track with your selections. Keep us posted.

This is the 4runners garage mate, I am just finishing it up... The 4runner will be built slower and I will enjoy the process... the cobra has been hell at times.
