KY New guy “Darrell’s truck”

Hey everybody,

So obviously I’m a new guy and just wanted to say hey and tell my story for those willing to hear it.

I have a 98 SR5 that I got about 7 months ago. The truck has 228,xxx miles on it and its stock for the most part aside from what I have done since I got it. It has a few dents in the body and needs new rear bumpers from rust but this truck is to sentimental for me to get rid of. My uncle, Darrell, lived with us for a long time when I was younger and he was the closest thing I had to a big brother. He was always there for me when I needed advice, a ride, help with my own car the list goes on. He was a loyal Toyota truck owner too! July last year I lost my uncle to lung cancer and he had two 4 runners. The 98 that he left me and an 02 that my younger brother got.

I aggravated him nonstop about changing this one up and we were never able to do it. I took it over August and have had my car up for sale since then while also doing this yota up.

To this point I have kicker red speakers in it, Alpine head unit, Just bought some trail wheels from an 18, tinted the front windows and the”TO DO” list is about a mile long from there.

I have been tooling around this site for a couple weeks now and I would like to take this chance to thank everybody that has helped answer my many, many questions. It’s been great getting feedback and help from everybody and I look forward to posting about the build as it happens.

nice welcome
 
That is cool to have a T4R w/that meaningful history. I'm new here as well and live in the 'ville so I am looking forward to seeing your build thread as you progress.

Thanks guys! So far all I have gotten accomplished since this post was the new wheels and some new tires put on. It’s the 18 trail wheels and some p265/70/17 Hankook DynaPro AT/M tires. Nothing too aggressive and just a hair bigger than the last ones. I’m happy with them so far in some moderate mud and they run great down the road.

My next move, I believe, will be a 3 inch lift which I am currently gathering parts for. I have a bead on some OME 891 springs for the rear, I am looking for the cheapest option on some Bilstien 5100 series for the front and rear, and I’m thinking about just some OEM front springs.

Also going to fab up some tube front and rear bumpers maybe in the next couple weeks.

As for now, the new wheels!!!!
