Hey all. I seem to loose my mind and think there are better SUVs out there than the 4R. Well, now I am back again to my 3rd Gen 4. This one is an 05' Sport V8 in purdy Red. My last 2 were 05 and 06 Sport V8s in Silver.

I've already spacer lifted it 3" and put on 32's and wheel spacers (to get rid of the soccer mom look)

Glad to be back!

Bring on the build thread already! Got to love that SRP color. Congrats on the "new" 4runner purchase. . again
 
Well, this one is technically Momma's ride so she did not want an extreme build like I did on my last ones. She wanted it higher and wider with bigger tires, so mission accomplished so far.

I have been the control arm/coilover/sliders/skids/bumpers route before on these. This one will be more mild daily driver with weekend camping and medium wheeling. Would be nice to have a rear FJ locker though...hmmm.

I've been working on the typical sunroof, rear seat, hatch, crossbars rattles and almost have it silent now. My Caster bolts are seized, so that will be a future fun time replacing them with the Moog greasables and new bushings. I only have 1.6 deg caster currently so it is a tiny bit drifty on the highway. Camber and toe are right on though. Also replaced the rear door lock latch/actuator since it was dead. Put in the Grom BT adapter last night. Stock JBL is fine and the BT Streaming sounds great. Brake controller installed for towing and now all set. I bought a new set of plugs that go in tonight. Appears to be a 100% Colorado truck so hopefully the coil and plug threads OK. Timing belt and WP just changed too according to Mitsu sticker.

Previous owner took very good care of it and added the Magnaflow cat-back and AFE filter (must have been a yota fan). I added some brighter low beam bulbs that really helped too.
