decided to start my own build thread to track the progress of my 2015 4Runner Trail edition.
I bought it Jan 8th 2015, to replace my wifes 2014 VW Jetta GLI as her daily driver. in order to get the 4runner I had to sell my project/ show car a 2010 Civic Si that I dumped tons of money into. decided to finally grow up and leave the so called "Honda game". (I now have a beater 2002 sierra I drive to work)
here is my Civic.
my civic was supercharged with a CT Engineering Stage2 kit and put down
330hp to the wheels.
I like to keep things simple and clean
ok enough with my civic lol. here is my 4runner when I first brought it home
its a 2015 Trail (non premium/ no kdss)
I then a week later i got the windows tinted. 20% on all windows
found this little dirt road near my house with some minor flexing (nothing special or crazy)
I havn't done anything else to it yet ,and the mod bug is itching. so I have convinced the wife to let me start the madness that we all tend to get. its hard to leave a car I have stock.
I plan on keeping it very simple and clean. im doing a simple bilstein 5100 2.5" lift with a readylift 1.5" coil spacer in the rear with some 285/70/17 BFG AT KO2, and eventually getting rid of the stock running boards and getting a set of C4 FAB sliders with steps.
bilstein 5100's were ordered Friday afternoon from a vendor here (total automotive performance) and arrived today. very fast shipping
I will be updating this thread as time goes on!
