This is my thread about my 4Runner - modifications, maintenance, how-to’s, and most importantly - the adventures it takes my family and I on. Photography, skiing, hiking, biking, and camping are all hobbies of ours, this is going to be a VERY picture heavy thread. I’m only going to post pics from adventures that involved the 4Runner, but rarely will the 4Runner be the main focus, I love the vehicle but it’s the thrills and experiences in life that I’m after.
When it comes to my 4Runner “build” you’re not gonna see a bunch of cosmetic mods aimed at getting Instagram likes or pictures of everything you could possibly bolt to it bolted to it. My philosophy in modding is high quality, reliable, thought out mods that add utility and usability while saving some weight wherever feasible.
