*V8 4.7l conversion* 98 white 4runner build - Raleigh, NC

Hey guys,

I just got this truck in spring of this year and it was completely stock but in great shape. NO rust at all, auto, 170k miles, good clean base so I got to work. Did a ton of stuff to it and I will list mods later, just want to show some pictures at its current state now. Sitting on 3in lift with toytec coils in the front and bilstein shocks all around and OME springs in the rear. I also added a 2inch body lift from toytec, tundra big brakes, 33's and best of all.... 4.7 v8 tundra swap!!!! Still have many plans for it, but for now it is a fun daily I just go to and from work in. Enjoy!

Great looking T4R, I use to frequent Raleigh when I was stationed at Fort Bragg.

Thanks for all the nice words guys! Appreciate it.

Singtoe, your thread pretty much inspired me to go for the 4.7 swap lol My brother in law is actually the one that bought your 3.4, he has the green 2nd gen that he wants to swap. He actually sold the motor and he's going to sell the 2nd gen and buy a 3rd, I have converted him over

For the yakima racks, I carry two cannondales on there, mountain bikes. I do a lot of riding with my brother at Umstead park and a few other trails.

If anyone knows any good spots around here to wheel, let me know. I'm down to wrench or take the truck out whenever. Hope to see some of you Raleigh folks soon!

Hit me up too. I'd like to get some hands on experience the next time someone has a project. Especially suspension work since that it on the list for my 97

Wow. Small world. I wondered what ever happened to his swap. Now, I know.

You just missed a great opportunity at my house. I installed Tundra (Sequoia) springs and AAL on the Taco. Free 2" lift.
