Hey guys, I'm new here! My name is Taylor, I'm 25, father of 2, and I am a videographer/photographer. I live in Tulsa, OK and have been here my entire life. I love to camp, hunt, adventure, and volunteer my time with my local Boy Scouts troop!
I bought my current 4runner a couple months back (this is my 2nd 4Runner) and have been drawing up plans for it ever since... Although I haven't achieved much with it yet as far as modifying goes, I've been having a blast with it and plan on getting the mod ball rolling soon!
When I bought it the beast was 100% stock and had 213,000 miles. I picked her up for a cool $1800 with the only problem being a bad exhaust leak and it was in need of new brakes. It's a 1992 V6 auto SR5 and it came factory with the 31" tire option and 4.88 gearing.
I've got a LOT of stuff I would love to do to her, but my next modification will be a set of 1.5" BJ spacers up front with a torsion crank and a set of 901HD Old Man Emu coils out back along with the appropriate relocation/drop brackets for the panhard bar and brake equalizer. This mild lift will hold me over until I can source all the parts and money to do a SAS. Also, eventually, I want to ditch the 3vz dog of a motor and drop in a 5.3/4l60e Chevy combo, but that is way down the road...
I want this vehicle to be able to confidently handle just about anything I throw at it, but still retain daily drive-ability, so I won't be going too radical with it. I am also aiming for this to be an overland adventure/expedition type of vehicle, so my boys and I can camp out of it comfortably. I'm looking to put a snorkel on it, basket rack on the roof, rock sliders, custom front and rear bumpers, winch, lockers, and all the goodies you normally see on an overland vehicle...
Enough talk... Here she is as of now... Only modifications so far has been a set of 33x10.50x15 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2s and a fresh coat of paint for the factory wheels... (I started buffing the paint but haven't finished yet as you can tell in the pics)
