I think its finally time for me to make a build thread. This was originally going to be a mild build thread and I wasn't going to do much to it. But project after project I keep improving and building what I wanted. So it's time. Still a mild build plan.

I originally purchased the 4runner last year with 154,000 miles and its currently sitting with 176,000 miles.
The previous owner had already done the following:
  • CBI front Bumper
  • ARB air compressor
  • 3" inch lift, toytec springs front, fox front shocks, unk springs back with bilstein shocks.
  • 1" body lift
  • 33" Tires & 16" Rims
  • Welded sliders
  • skidplates
  • LBJs
  • led interior lights
  • speakers.
1997 3rd Gen 4runner 3.4 Limited 4x4 Rear Locker - Salvage Title

I bought it salvage title so that I would not be worried about off-roading it and scratching up the paint.

I have since installed the following:
  • SHRockworks Rear Tire Carrier Steel Bumper
  • Pioneer Appleplay SPHDA-120 double-din Headunit
  • Handfree Calling microphone
  • Rearview Camera
  • Thule Roof Rack
  • Thule Hullivator kayak Rack
  • 42"Lightbar with brackets
  • Inside Switches and Relays
  • Sleeping Platform/Storage Box Build
  • Portable Shower

Want/Plan
  • Fishing Rod Racks
  • Narrow Roof Basket
  • Replace Rear Springs
  • Camburg UCA
  • Finish Addco upgraded 1.25" swaybar install
  • Quick disconnect Sway Bar links (Ordered)
  • Rewire lower HIDs
  • Headlight Retrofit
  • Fix Alignment Issues
  • Wet Okole Seat Covers/ Corbeau Seat Conversion
  • Rear Dvd Player

Took some weekends and some redesigning but finally was able to finish out the sleeping platform last week.

Slight design tweaks to make it completely removable.

Good looking rig! I love the setup. It does feel nice to have something you don't feel horrible about wheeling a bit and getting some bumps and bruises. The sleeping platform looks really cool..that's got to be awesome and convenient. I assume you just use an air mattress? I keep seeing more reasons to take my sub box out of the back...just hate to lose my musical quality :-l
