Scout Runner's adventure thread
I decided to start this thread to document what all I'm going to do to the new 4Runner, as well as the many trips I have planned to take in it. This past weekend I sold my 2016 4x4 SR5. I had only owned it since the end of May and had already took two trips to Colorado in it and racked up 10,000 miles on it in just 3 months. It was used when I bought it with 25,000 miles on it. It was previously a Hertz rental vehicle. This always bothered me to no end. I know some may think its stupid, but I just couldn't get passed it. I had no idea how much I was going to like the 4Runner when I first bought it. Had I known, I would have bought new to begin with. Coming from only driving lifted F250 diesel trucks, the 4Runner was a big change for me. This was also my first Toyota purchase and my first foreign made vehicle purchase.
I picked up Scout Runner on Tuesday. It is a Super white 2017 TRD Off-Road Premium. Moon roof, remote start, 3m paint protection etc... A couple of other reasons for selling the SR5 was that I wanted the rear locker, manual shifter, and the softex seats. I also wanted to start fresh with zero miles on a vehicle that was not a rental. So far Im very happy with it in the 350 miles Ive put on it in the last couple of days.
On Wednesday I put in my Weathertech floor liners and Canvasback liners in the rear. I haul two large dogs around with me a lot so these are a must have. Yesterday I got the windows tinted 5% all the way around and a strip across the top of the windshield.
I plan to do a lot to Scout Runner. Here is what is on the list in the next two weeks.
Install Icon 2.5 Coilovers with remotes and CDC adjusters on the front. Icon 2.0 shocks in the rear with Icon 2" rear springs. I already have all this sitting in my shop floor ready to go.
SPC adjustable UCA's will be here Tuesday.
Falken WildPeak AT's in 285/70/17 load E will be here Tuesday.
SCS Ray 10's in Gun Metal are sitting in my shop floor ready to go.
Spidertraxx spacers depending on the stance with the new wheels.
RCI full aluminum skid package is sitting in my shop floor ready to go.
SSO rock sliders are ordered, but no clue when they will arrive.
Interior LED replacements showed up today. Will have those in tomorrow.
The next day that I have off I will do the fender liner mod and a body mount chop. I will also use a heat gun on the mud flaps. I had to do all of this on my SR5, so im just going to go ahead and do it all now before the lift and tires get put on. I also need to paint the front and rear valances and plastidip the front, rear, and side badges. The side badges may get removed permanently. I will try to take pics of all of this to post on here.
I plan to get a Pelfrybuilt aluminum front bumper ordered as soon as I get a few days of overtime put in at work.
I plan to go back to Ouray, CO in 3wks to catch the fall color change. The plan is to have everything completed before the trip. At this point Im planning to go to Moab around the 3rd week of October. It would be nice to have my bumper and winch on before that trip.
