Man mud tires really suck in the packed snow and ice! However they are great at pulling you out of the ditches when you get in them, which I already have like 10 times...my mother decided it was a safety hazard to have me flying in ditches while driving my sisters to activities. She's buying me some new winter tires I think 235/85r16 blizzaks is what I'm going for

What was the name of the roof basket you initially had? It looks super badass

I have the same color 3rd gen. I think its the most unique. Keep up the good work!

Oh I so wish I was a kid again. Your first car is your first car... even if its a total POS, you will always have good memories of it.

As for the painted lights. Not for me, and probably not for most people. Its more of safety thing. You can get decent tinted covers if you'd like, but the paint looks sort cheap.

I think its awesome that you are willing to work on your own vehicle. Just remember not to rush it. You have to go slow to go fast. So take your time, think it through, and try to keep your cool. The internet is full of useful info. I've learned so much by totally f'ing stuff up by trying to fix it.

And since this is an older vehicle, just remember to keep some money aside for repairs. They will come at the worst time.

2 years late but seconding this! Got the same 4runner last summer and got a whoooole lot of stuff to do, but I'm in need of a roof rack and can't decide which one to get.

Also, this convinced me to paint the wheels/cladding on mine. looks dope man.
