What's up T4R I'm new to the 4RUNNER scene having come from the Tundra. I had planned on keeping the 4-Runner "STOCK" when I sold the Tundra but that lasted like three days haha. Any way this build started in August when I got my 2014 T4R SR5P. I'm fortunate to live in great off roaring country and can't wait to see what the 4-Runner can do.
About my build I started like I said within three days of owning it my changing the wheels and tires out. The wheels are the TRDP wheels and I went with BFG TA KOs in 275/70/17.
Next I figured if I was going to do this is go big or go home. I went and ordered the ICON Stage 7 suspension, as well as there LCA SKIDS and rear shock skids.
Next was protection I hit up Josh at RCI and ordered all my skid plates "Great guy to deal with"
Now I needed Rock Sliders and I had known John from WKO in Apple Valley CA and had him build my my bump out sliders.
Finally I added a Baja Roof Rack and Gobi Ladder to address the roof.
As far as lighting goes I did the H9 bulb mod "Thanks to this Forum" as well as took advantage of the Boxing Day sale at Xeon Depot and splurged and got there Phillips H16 LED bulbs. There pricey but Holy Shit they are bright" Review on them to come.
Next for the exterior I went ahead and used 3M Vinyl wrap to wrap the lower valence of the front bumper, eventually I will go Line X until I figure out which front bumper I want once CBI, Demello finalize there designs.
Ok now onto the horizon, to prepare for this springs/summer trips I have my CB radio, antenna, Ham radio all on order and should be here soon. Also hit up FourTreks for there CB mounts, Hi-Lift Mount, and shovel mounts as well as hit up Baja Rack and ordered there has can carier mount for the rack.
I am sure I am missing things but will add them once I remember.
Now to the pics

How she sits today
Installed my Hi-Lift and shovel mounts are FourTreks hi quality and super strong would def recommend them. Also had my good buddy install my CB and antenna I wish I would have took pics of the install he did, he's one of those guys that won't just run the wire under the carpet this cb cable is zipped tied ran through grommets ect it's overkill but hey It was free install and he's a perfectionist so I'm not complaining
