Hello from Memphis. I have been lurking for a few days. Great site.
I got the 4runner a few weeks ago. Traded in an F150 and paid a little cash that I was given for a wrecked motorcycle insurance payment.
It will be a daily driver for some time and gradually become more and more of a hunting vehicle. I have never really done much off-roading outside of hunting, fishing or camping but may give it a try. I just can't put my vehicle at risk of shutdown when I have to be at work the next day.
So my list of current mods is pretty short...
-I have tinted the windows 15% fronts, 5% everywhere back of that.
-Installed a pioneer AVH-3400 DVD player with bypass switch so it can be viewed whenever
-Installed my amp and a 12" sub with (2) 6X9s in the rear. It is just a temporary install of those items. I have plans to build a nice box for the sub/amp and another for the 6x9s for the tailgate. It should flip down for entertainment purposes. I play a lot of volleyball and tailgate. Should be pretty cool...we'll just have to see what I can put together.
-Halfway through an autopage alarm/remote start install.
-Deckplate mod (considering the ISR mod, but still debating)
As far as new to me maintenance:
Changed the oil, charged a/c, changed fuel filter, about to do spark plugs
For future mods:
-install the Warn XD9000 winch I bought on CL (not sure where to go with this one. I want a nice bumper up front to support it, but i'm no welder. i may buy one and learn though as i have wanted to for some time.
-rear bumper w/ tire holder and maybe other acc.
-better roof rack
-TRD Tundra (got the yellow/yellow and blue/yellow) and LC coil swap (got them from a 97. I have both sets of springs being shipped to me. now i just have to decide on shocks and struts.
-Tundra Brake swap...makes since considering the extra weight
-would like to replace the cat and exhaust w/ hi-flow stuff to see if i can improve performance.
-bigger tires...it has 265s on it now.
-replace or cover front seats...leather is pretty torn up.
-install some sort of rear seat pad for the co-pilot (she's in the last pic...and can sleep anywhere and in any position). i like to have the seats down for her to have some space.
-cargo shelf...i saw someone that had a shelf hung in the top of the cargo area. that seemed like a great idea.
-HID projector swap. I'm looking now to find some clear replacement HL assemblies that i can do a full retrofit on.
Thats the gist of it for now. feel free to comment, etc. thanks for all the info so far.
