Unfortunately last week I got into an accident, which totaled my beautiful 2003 4Runner. As some of you may know, I put so much into that truck. Many hours spent Plasti-Dipping the cladding, washing, waxing etc. I also replaced many parts that didn't need replacing, just to make it look new again. Nobody was injured in the collision with a Chevy minivan, but there was a lot of damage (way worse on the minivan). Significant damage to mine included airbags, suspension components, and the frame got bent pretty bad. I was able to get most of my mods, 3 wheels and tires (one of them was damaged), stereo, taillights, alarm system, HIDs, and exhaust. The only thing I lost was the Daystar spacer lift.

I swapped out the wheels with 1985 4Runner wheels I got from a junkyard (which didn't turn because they were too small, but it was good enough, and funny to look at), my old headlights and taillights, and the old exhaust. R.I.P. 4Runner--2003 SR5 V8 4x4 with 93,500 miles.

Now to the good news!

I just purchased a new-to-me 2006 4Runner SR5 4x4 V8 with 109,500 miles. I will be picking it up tomorrow and the mods will begin . I still need to get my hands on a lift (I hope to go full suspension because the shocks are starting to seep). I got an excellent deal on this '06 (was actually looking for '03-'05 because of the styling but love the look of all 4th gens). I will post pics tomorrow when I pick it up!
