What are your favorite modifications on the classic 4runners? Mine is a 93 and I would love to get ideas. What is your favorite that you have done? and what would you like to do given you had the time, skill, money, or a wiggly nose?? ^_^

(ps Mine wiggles.. but no magic happens.. I got jipped!)

I bought my 4runner the way it is so I haven't modded anything on it yet. But I would have to say that there are a few things that I wouldn't get rid of... solid axle, lockers front and rear... but mostly it's the chevy 350 that's in it. On 35" tires at 6000 feet in Colorado, I can hold 90mph with very little effort on the freeway. There's no way I can do that with my older 88 4runner with the 22re engine.

I hate you.....

I would definitely say the solid axle conversion, if you're going to get into any pretty serious offroading. Even with an expensive long-arm IFS kit, you still don't have all the capabilities a solid axle with flexible leaf springs offers. Granted, if you have no intention of climbing over large obstacles, then it's not as necessary. Lockers are another must-have, at least in the rear, but preferably both (selectable in the front, so you can switch it to open-diff 4x4 for slippery paved roads).
 
Mine is going to be a daily driver and the occasional fun out in the country. Where I grew up we had dirt roads and had to cross the creek to get there. Hadn't been able to go out there for years because my Thunderbird was useless as hell! ^_^ YAY!!
 
For what ur gonna do the IFS will be more than enough. Just put some quality tires (31/10.50r15s BFG ATs), some good shocks (Bilsteins if the budget allows) and a locker in the rr axle. That should take care of 99.99% of the off-roading you'd want to do. :)
 
Tube doors!!!

HA! Tube doors! Love it! ^_^

Yea I will most likely do a few fine tuning with the engine.. Maybe add a grill guard just because I like the way they look... Tires.... suspension! I'm going to really enjoy this...
 
Mines the trail hot water shower! Ofcourse I just finished it tonight... But of all time to date, prob leafsprings that just never seem to stop flexing.. Even when I think a tire cant possible drop farther.. There it goes!

Starting Circuit Fix and Zuk Mod

My faves are:

My fix for the starting (cranking) circuit fix for flawed Toyota stock wiring that causes the infamous intermittent "click-only" issue. Write-up here.

My simple, clean, robust, no-weld, no-twang Zuk mod that fixed the other infamous rear-sag issue with first-gen runners. Write-up here.

Third would be my H4 Conversion harness (work in process) that will eliminate excessive voltage drop on headlight circuit.

That looks like a spool. Spartans are a breeze to put in though, and well worth the investment. Probably the best lunchbox locker i've owned.
