Unfortunately I had to travel few hours for ALL of the parts I got, but IMO it was well worth it. Also nothing is ever rusty down here too which makes the used parts market actually temping lol

Thanks man! Just trying to do things as money allows. I'm still in college and although this is my passion I have a ton of other stuff always going on too.

I wish I could just jump straight into the mods that I want to do, but I need to get a lot of those maintenance items taken care of before I put the fun stuff on. It would look pretty stupid if I had this sweet 4Runner all decked out with a lift, tires, etc. and then it was broken down on the side of the road lol

Nice build plans. I am planning to pick up a 4th gen in the next month or two and start my build. I am wondering how you like the awning so far. Have you by chance had it at the beach or another setting with high winds? I will mainly be taking mine to the beach and trying to figure out what awning to go with for that. Where I am at the wind can be steady at 20mph so just wondering what you think of it so far and if you would go with a different brand like ARB if you bought again.

Damn that looks good! I’m gonna have to look into this, thanks!

What does that do? I've never heard of this.

Have you heard of a BMC before? AKA Body Mount Chop. It is pretty much just the process of cutting back slightly (or not so slightly) the metal for the body mount directly behind the wheels.

When putting on bigger tires they will generally rub this area and the ways to fix it include, chop it, chop it and cap off with new metal, relocate it altogether (what I opted for), or in addition to any of those, aftermarket UCAs such as SPC that allow you to shift the tire forward in the wheel arch away from the mudflap/body mount area. See this video to show how you can also use the LCA in conjunction to push the wheel away.

Click on this one below to see what it is, and some photos show wheels rubbing against it and where people make their cuts at.

Question regarding bumpstops...does anyone on here have any recommendations? Im thinking about running some front and rear. Mainly to help with offroad stuff, as I dont tow at all.

Do I need extended ones?
