Lift
I now have finished my lift since it is warmer. Nothing too drastic and the ride has gotten much better.
Bilstein 5100 shocks
OME 884 Coil in front
Toytec Superflex Coul in the Rear
I also replaced the CV axles at the same time since I had it all apart.
My old 4runner...
Ditch Lights
I FINALLY got my ditch lights wired into my auxiliary fuse and relay panel and got a quick picture before going back to work.
Now I need to test the ditch lights and PIAA fog LEDs out in a blizzard.
Also pictured is my new color matched grill I found online for $212, I got two...
Auxilary Fuse Box
I found a link on Youtube where a guy builds an aux. fuse box and I was actually able to understand what he was saying.
So I tried my hand at building one and below you can see part of my process and the finished product. Not sure If I should find a way to cover the relays...
Yes I have a V6 and it feels like I have way more power than my 00.
Another thing to note is I am in ND where we don't have any challenging trails.. MN has some forest trails so I opted for comfort on road trips rather than keep the 2000.
I use to own a 00 4runner for roughly 3 years, sold it and purchased a 06 Sr5 about 4 months ago.
So far I am very happy with the switch, I orginally purchased the 00 4runner as a camping vehicle to stick close around home. Last winter I built a teardrop camper and took the 00 on a few long...
Bringing camper home
Hey everyone,
Brought my camper home this weekend and grabbed a few pictures of the 4runner hauling it.. also a bonus dog pic.
She saw a cow up close for the first time.
New Brakes
Just got my 4runner back on the road, Stoptech front and rear rotors. New calipers in the front, and new pads all the way around.
I also had to replace the alternator
I got everything from rockauto.com
I enjoy reading your build. I just bought a 06 white Sr5. Keep up the good work...
Also I am going to steal a few of your ideas! The phone mount is genius.
South Dakota Trip
So technically I did not own the 4runner for this trip. Previously it was my dads I owned a rusty 3rd gen and he recently upgraded. I did not want to haul my teardrop camper 9 hours to SD so I borrowed his 4runner and decided to buy it while we were there actually.

Cleaning up the headlights
The 4runner has 196k miles and has spent many days in the sun. The headlights were pretty clouded. I decided to clean them up right away.
Pretty straight forward... I used 1500 up to 3000 grit sandpaper while wet sanding. I then used a polisher and cutting compound...
Interior Upgrades
I read I could put the homelink console and the duel outlet in the center console using the stock wiring harness. Sure enough, they were there and I spent about 15 mins swapping out these parts.
Before
After
I live in North Dakota near the prairies so I named this build the Prarie Runner. Let's hope it sticks!
