4thGen4.7's Build Thread

So I am new to the forums and fairly new to the 4runner family. After having a Ford Explorer from age 16 until about 3 and half months ago (20 now) I decided to get a 4runner after driving a friend of mine's a few months back. It has been one of the best decision I have ever made. I now have a 2004 Sport Edition 4.7L V8. After making my way around the forums the past week or two I have become obsessed.
In the near future I plan on doing the following:
  • Plastidip factory wheels
  • suspension lift
  • remove factory running boards
  • add rock sliders
  • Roof rack and ladder
  • Light bar in hood scoop
  • Interior LED mods
  • Add a fuse box for electronic mods
  • New tires & wheels
  • Add an awning for camping
  • Create a storage compartment for the back
  • And many more

A few of the things that were already done before I got it include:
  • HID 8000k Headlight kit
  • Pioneer double din touch screen radio
  • Some level of tint I'm unsure what %
So the first thing I decided to do because it seemed like a quick and easy customization is to plastidip the silver factory roof rack black. Here are the photos

Hood Scoop Dip

I had a bad paint peeling problem on the hood scoop so I decided to plastidip the lips of it. I thought it was going to be too black and look weird but it is actually pretty subtle and hides the ugly peel marks
