Undoing all of the PO's mods!
But really, there's a few things that 2 PO's ago (The gentleman I originally sold it to) did to this thing that drive me crazy!
The dash lights are all different colors, there was paracord wrapped around the grab handles, the bumpers are all rhino lined poorly and there's stickers all over the hatch.
Already removed the paracord, extra cup holders and ordered correct bulbs to get the interior back to the OEM green. Also got some stickers off the rear window and am going to tackle the 10 on the back hatch.
At some point I'm going to try a gel paint stripper on the bull bar and the bumpers to see if the Rhino Liner will come off and It will look somewhat presentable.
I will probably replace the rear bumper with an OEM one. The PO cut into it and installed LED reverse lights which are cool, but blind my neighbor every time I back up in the morning. I may just decide to go with a swingout and be done with it, but haven't made up my mind yet.
I like to keep my builds super simple - stock but slightly modified. My Tacoma is probably the best representation of what I like my builds to be. Slight lift, ARB bumper to protect against elk up north. Almost all my mods on that truck are mechanical ones like the 4x4 swap and the manual locking hubs. So with the 4Runner I'm thinking just get rid of all the small mods like lights and paracord handles and install a new lift kit, put on an ARB bumper and an OEM chrome bumper with some black cheap 16" steelies and be done with it. Would like to do the tundra brake mod and an e-locker down the road, but as far as cosmetics nothing crazy other than what's above and just fixing the few small broken bits on the interior.
I've also ordered new OEM ball joints, tie rods, poly steering rack bushings and dash bulbs for the 4Runner and hope to get cranking on it this weekend!
