Well I've been on here for a while, this is my first correct thread lol.
Bought a 2003 Toyota 4runner 2wd v8, 166k miles for 5200$ a few months ago.
First the bad things, has a multiple mis fire. So far I've done plugs, cleaned maf, and fuel injectors.
Had a rear end seal blow out on my passenger side.
Turned front rotors also and changed pads.
Changed out the crap alphine head unit for a custom Sony single din.
Day I got it, or night rather

Also had no donut gasket on the driver side, it was loud and a pia.

Future plans of a 2" lift and LEDs for my dash lighting. Need to redo my stereo as well. Had a shop do it and they chopped the wires so now it fades in and out
