I still love my 4runner I got about 6 months ago. I love that its used, its old, it was cheap, and it runs GREAT. I love it so much more than my 2007 Frontier 4WD that I had.
It currently has 206k on the clock. I haven't done much to it, but heres what I have done and what I plan on doing.. Maybe Ill get some pics tomorrow.
Bought this 4runner with 197,000 miles on it for about 4700$ Its 4wd Limited. Oh and a Suspension Lift.
Was told it just needed a new compressor belt, threw a belt on and it burnt off. Bought a compressor off ebay for 60$ and wham, got AC.
Hurculined The Floors
It smelled quite funky and I was in the mood for cleaning, I removed all Carpet, Seats, everything..
I lined the floor with Hurcuiner. Which I still LOVE. When ever my floors need a little cleaning I just disconnect the battery pull the drains and take the hose to it. No worries what so ever. Only issue with this is a little bit of road noise. I found that thick goodyear floor mats help out alot!
I hated the Limited Trim, so I decided to tear it off. Love the look, minus the holes.. Still have not decided what to do with the holes, but I think a paint job is in the near future which Ill get these taken care of.
I had starting issues. Removed my starter, took it to get it repaired. Costly and didn't help. Swaped it out for a refurb, costly and didn't help... It was a 1.00$ battery terminal.
Did a few mods, such as...
ISR
Deck Plate
Painted bumpers
Installed Hella Lights
Removed Pinstripe [looks sweet]
[short list I know]
I changed just about every fluid you could imagine. [I love this truck]
I have been neglecting it ever since though, just driving it every day as I was working 70hours a week. Actually didn't have the rear bumper on for almost 3 months.. Till I discovered a Car Parts Lot, in which I have discovered my new pastime. I love looking for parts in there which I can get for soo cheap. I reccomend it to everyone.. Sad to see all the Cash for Clunker 4runners..
Well I plan on doing a few things to this truck..
Finally gonna get some good tires. Going with 285/75/16 BFG KM2 M/T
Getting a rood rack.
Painting it [maybe myself?] Flat White.
Painting Rims Flat Black
Maybe getting a small body lift, just to add a little more height.
New grille [I don't know the fancy word for it]
Only issues Im having with my truck is its starting to do this strange thing. It happens when I come to a stop and then let off the brake the truck kinda jerks. Im sure its something going but what exactly?
