I told myself that I wouldn't make a build thread, since I bought it pretty much already built, but I have enough planned for it now that I figured I might as well. And I'll be adding more info to this first post over the next couple days, but for now, this will do.

I bought my '99 4Runner Highlander, with 5 speed and e-locker back in January 2013 with about 215k miles on it. I got a great deal on it that I couldn't pass up. Previous owner was an ASE Master Tech and had already done the lift and associated mods, 35s, bumpers and sliders, plus a few other things here and there.

Here's how it looked when I first bought it:
