After last wheeling trip I was getting misfire on cylinder 1, narrowed it down to a coil, replaced it. Starter still takes a few tries to start, am not sure if I need a whole new starter or just the contacts, either way I don't want to do it right now .... Black friday I ordered some 4xinnovations skid plates and sliders!!!!!!!! Plan on ordering either the ebay uniball uppercontrol arms or the spc ones. Then when I get my tax return in the spring (yes I get a tax return I'm an 18 year old broke kid) I plan on ordering 4xinnovations tire swing! Unless some shit goes to shit and I need it for other things

So after I graduate my parents are moving to Arizona. So me and a buddy are kind of tentatively planning on helping them move down there, and on the way back stopping at moab, in colorado and some other places. So the truck has to be pretty built and very reliable by july. What this means for the thread is that there will most likely be more action.

Did a little snow wheeling, Tried to rockbounce my way up an old creek bed full of large boulders...didn't end well


Pictures aren't very good but I slid onto a large boulder got my rear axle hung on it, then pivoted into about a 6inch diameter tree and knocked it over with my door

Damage report, ,couple good sized dents and scratches on my door and a snapped ebrake cable

Man mud tires really suck in the packed snow and ice! However they are great at pulling you out of the ditches when you get in them, which I already have like 10 times...my mother decided it was a safety hazard to have me flying in ditches while driving my sisters to activities. She's buying me some new winter tires I think 235/85r16 blizzaks is what I'm going for

What was the name of the roof basket you initially had? It looks super badass

I have the same color 3rd gen. I think its the most unique. Keep up the good work!

Oh I so wish I was a kid again. Your first car is your first car... even if its a total POS, you will always have good memories of it.

As for the painted lights. Not for me, and probably not for most people. Its more of safety thing. You can get decent tinted covers if you'd like, but the paint looks sort cheap.

I think its awesome that you are willing to work on your own vehicle. Just remember not to rush it. You have to go slow to go fast. So take your time, think it through, and try to keep your cool. The internet is full of useful info. I've learned so much by totally f'ing stuff up by trying to fix it.

And since this is an older vehicle, just remember to keep some money aside for repairs. They will come at the worst time.

2 years late but seconding this! Got the same 4runner last summer and got a whoooole lot of stuff to do, but I'm in need of a roof rack and can't decide which one to get.

Also, this convinced me to paint the wheels/cladding on mine. looks dope man.
