Don’t even know where to begin!

[JJM4runner]

Hi all I just purchased 2000 4runner a few weeks ago and I’m looking to get it dialed in and add some mods.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

124k miles

4x4 limited V6

Here’s list of the current issues it’s having.

Oil leak from gasket (above headers)

Alarm does not work.

Key won’t lock all doors.

Doors won’t lock thru indoor button

AC “off” button won’t work at times.

I’m planning on fixing the gasket thru Toyota (homie hook up) $360 plus parts. Not sure I’m daring enough to mess with that.

I plan on doing a full maintenance on it (oil change, fuel filter, radiator flush, front and rear differential) should I use specific brand?


Mods looking to add the following but not sure on brands…

3inch lift- spring spaces (is that accurate?) not sure how reliable they are, a friend mentioned them.

Air intake-

Exhaust-

Stereo- Seen a cool thread on the exact same model going to do it myself

Rims-looking for the 16ins AR172 Baja look (found $105 each) they have 20mm offset is that too much?

Tires 245 (found $375 for 4, but might be too small) or 265 75 16

HD lights-

Bar light-Considering

Roof rack-


This is going to be my everyday driver for the next 8-9months (80 miles a day x4 a week) so I want it to last and any fuel economy tips would help too.


Thanks!

Definitely fix things before modifying it. Don't throw money at a truck that you may not even be able to drive, or will get stolen since doors aren't locking. As for brands, it depends on what you're replacing. There's a lot of information out there... But generally, replace with OEM so you don't waste your money on a cheap aftermarket part.
