What is Your Proudest Modification?
In this thread, I want to see 3rd Gens with their owners proudest modifications! Post pics, discuss, drink wine and be merry! I just want to see some sick mods and fabrications that you folks have performed!
Hopefully this thread will give us fellow 3rd gens some great ideas and maybe future projects of our own! Good luck and go crazy!!

I once removed a **** that my dog left as a present in the back. That was my proudest mod.

Can't start this thing off without posting my very own mod.
I have done a lot and this is hard but my proudest would be my lift/tire/rim setup! It gets looks and made me fall in love EVER MORE with my runner!
I have to post a before and after picture, of when I was broke to when I got a much better job! It reflects in my truck!

Rig felt a little more light and agile. Definitely less stinky.

But on a serious note, love your 4Runner. I just recently decided to start playing around with mine, so theres not a lot to be proud of as of yet, but for now I say painting my rims Lexus ISF liquid metallic grey. Looks great, especially when the car is clean!

I don't really have a FAVORITE mod... lol! I'm generally just really proud of my truck!
If I had to name a few....
my lift and wheel/tire combo
rear tire carrier with matching spare
front end face lift
my LED Interior conversion with TRD Screen in the dash!

My proudest mod is definitely my cargo box. It was my first time working on a wood project and it turned out sweet. I have a short write up on my build thread.

Mine would be either my lift, mainly because I ad never installed a suspension, and was proud of myself for it...
Before
After
Or it may be the grill I did...first time in years with fiberglass and never used bondo...plus I think it sets off the whole front end of my truck
