This thread will document the build of my 99 4runner sr5 Highlander Edition.
My parents bought the 4runner back in 2003 with about 80,000 miles on it. I was 7 when they got it, I remember going to the dealership and seeing this big shiny truck that I literally had to jump up into perched up on the ramp in the front of the lot. I begged them to get it, and needless to say they did. Time lapse to 2011 when I turned 15 and I found this forum and got bit by the "Mod Bug".

These are the earliest pictures I have.
April 1, 2012
The first upgrade I did was cheapo home depot gutter mesh grill.
Then I painted the faded fender flares with spray on bedliner.
Next came the storage box in the back and the rubber floor mats.
And next I painted my wheels with Gunmetal grey wheel paint.
