2004 4x2 V8 Owner (AutoX'ed 4th Gen)

[alex146730]

Hello! I've been visiting this forum occasionally for a while and figured that I should introduce myself. I'm Alex, I'm a 20 year-old living in SoCal and I have a 2004 4Runner 2WD V8 that has been autocrossed and dynoed before. I was inspired by SkylineGTRracer to introduce myself after seeing that he also corners a 4th Gen hard.

Glad to be a part of this awesome community. Hope to get to know you guys!

Mods:
LED Gauge cluster/interior light swap
LED reverse lights and license plate lights
Yatour bluetooth streaming/telephone adapter for stock radio
JEGS 2.5" cutout
Prothane black sway bar bushings, Energy suspension polyurethane end link grommet for rear sway bar, Moog sway bar end links all around (OEMs were shot)

Got some EBC Yellowstuff front pads and Centric high carbon front blank rotors ready to go soon


First autocross ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6jbhQACl4s
(Please excuse my excessive under/oversteer and rev limiter banging. I was a noob. Cutout wasn't installed at this time.)

Damn lil autox bro, you reminded me of my former days taking my fwd family grocery getter on r-comps.

Have lots of fun out there and look 1-2 sections ahead!
Can't imagine tires lasting long on such a heavy beast.. better stick with jeep takeoff sizes for a non-stop flow of cheap low-tread options!

Welcome, where in California are you from? Nice 4th Gen. Thise FC3S make me miss mine.

Nice man! Been awhile since I last autox mine, makes me miss it. If you wish to continue using it to autox then I would suggest getting some 20x9 or a litte wider and some nice summer tires for a dedicated set. And some lowering springs if you can find some. Other than that I'm happy I inspired somebody. If you need some help feel free to hit me up here or tacomaworld.

I love the LED dash, is it annoyingly bright when driving at night?

I have V8 envy! Congrats!

The gauge cluster is a bit bright. It's so bright that it partially illuminates logos that aren't lit. But you get used to the brightness.

Great to see you SkylineGTRracer! I'd love to know what cusco front sway bars you're running. Trying to improve my car's handling
