First thing I did was replace the wheels and tires, they were pretty shot. I got some 5th gen wheels with no tires and found some 265/70r17 nitto terra grappler g2, brand new for $400! The stickers were still on them. That was a score, the dude said he had dozens of people calling after I called.

You can see in the first picture that the sag on the 4runner was pretty bad. Instead of opting for a lift or stock replacement I decided to add a 1.5" daystar spacer until I decide to lift it.

Also, here's a few pictures of the dust underneath this thing. The front diff fluid looked brand new, I don't know if they ever put it in 4wd, looked like a highway princess. I replaced all of the drive fluids with synthetic valvoline, besides the transmission which was mt90.

I also replaced the shifter bushing with the marlin crawler one because I was having a slight issue shifting it into gear.
