I bought a used T4R and it came with Weathertec. I didn't know much about them but I don't have a complaint at this point and I've been to the snow 3 times in the past week with no issues. Considering the price point, I would definitely consider other options, but I am comfortable in saying...

Hey all, I'm new to the 4Runner club and quite frankly, didn't think I was going to be getting one, but luckily my wife loved them and we found a used one at our local dealer so it all worked out. I've been spending the past few weeks lurking and learning some of the basics about the rig...

Great thread! I'm in the middle of this very conundrum. I am thinking I am going to go with skid-plates and or sliders first. I need to get rid of my stock running boards first. It is so tempting to go with rims and lift first, but looking through a few build threads on here area good...

Nice looking rig and regardless of the mileage situation I don't think you got a bad deal. Transparency on any deal is definitely expected, and I really do hope that it wasn't blatant. What are you planning on doing with it next?

Right on! I'll be heading up the 50 this weekend, going to check out Sierra At Tahoe with the kids. Unfortunately I don't think i'll even get to engage the 4wd, as the temp is warming up and the roads should be clear!

I don't really care all that much, it just got me hesitating a bit. After looking a bunch of different options I still think these are the cleanest looking wheels. Going for it!

Thanks for documenting this build! This thread is a good reminder that this isn't a sprint to the finish it is a process. I really like the look of your rig, I think it has the good balance of having the rugged look without being too much. I think the lift/wheel/tire combo is perfect in...

Nothing too special at this point. I got the windows tinted and am now shopping around for suspension and rims. The list of things I want to do keep growing the more time I spend on this forum!

32 year old father of 3. My salary has finally caught up with me having 3 kids at a young age so I upgraded from a Forester to a 4Runner. I am now looking to take the next step in my offroad capabilities for camping and adventuring purposes!

One of my bargaining chips to get the 4Runner was that I would use the small car on a daily basis for commuting and the 4Runner is the weekend warrior mobile! Either way, I appreciate it all the more after driving around a Honda Fit all week haha.

I'm glad this thread is here. I've been shopping around for these rims and one of my buddies said it would be tacky to have TDR rims on my truck since its not a TDR pro. I disagree but it caused me to hesitate a bit. I'm going for it either way, I love the look of those rims.

Love the color combo of the sand color with the black rims. Very sharp looking rig!

Might need to get something different then... I can't wait to get in the 4runner and am jealous at the fact that I use a commuter car most of the time while my wife is home with the 4Runner!

I like to consider myself good with money, but one thing I always catch grief for is getting extended warranties with my vehicles. I look at it like any other insurance plan I pay for but don't actually use. If I use it once then it most likely pays for itself, if I don't use it, then the $$...

I've been finding myself with the same issue. My problem is that I want to throw on a roof-top tent, so i've been leaning towards finding a trailer that can accommodate the tent and possibly going with a roof-rack as well, just to round out the Uhaul look. lol.
