Microlander Overland 4runner Build

Hey everybody! Long time reader, first time poster.

Figure I should start my build thread before it gets too far out of hand and I forget everything I've done to my runner!

So!
Bought my Anthracite 1998 Limited 4wd V6 4runner in the beginning of 2015 with just under 230k from one of my good friends that had owned it for just over a year.

He didn't do much to it in the year he owned it with exception of the curt basket and light bar. He also re-did the blinkers with the amber eagle-eye LED lights in the blank plate under the headlight housing.



How it sat the day I bought it!

I had a 2nd gen 4runner I bought in June of 2013 with a blown engine.


My buddies and I pulled the engine, sent it off to a machine shop, got it back, threw the engine back in with a bunch of new components fuel pump, clutch slave cylinder yada yada.

Got it back road worthy and took it to Moab in march of 2014!

With extremely limited funds (and knowledge), a Hanes manual and a 87 pcs. set of Stanley Sockets from Wal-Mart, It really wasnt too long now thinking back on it.

Looks good. Always great to see another local on the forum. Where are you located in the beehive state?

Hmm, not really quiet, if I was going for low sound I would stick with the stock muffler. The magnaflow gives a nice deep tone with a little bit of rasp.
