Hello T4R.org,

My name is Bbqqin. I have been lurking here for quite some time, taking notes, making sure I don't make silly purchases :ear:. So I digress...

I searched long and hard in South Florida, and I must say it is extremely hard to find a low mileage 4th gen in 4 x 4 that isn't a complete and utter BEATER. I finally found this one:

2006 Silver Toyota 4Runner SR5 4 x 4​

71,000 Miles, family owned with 1 older owner, clean title / carfax, no accidents on record, brand new A/T Falken Wildpeak 265/65r17 put on 2 months ago as well as an oil change done at the same time.

I would like to get a head start on my build thread, so I will transfer all of this info to that thread once I receive the "starter items" that I purchased yesterday. I will be using this page to organize my own future build thread, so I will attach links to all of these things so you guys, and myself can trace where I bought them from.

Here is what I have purchased so far:

Filters:

aFe 31-10114 Air Filter (No oil needed, unlike K&N)
FRAM CF9846A Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter with Arm & Hammer

Lighting Upgrades:

Exterior Lights:

Morimoto Elite HID Kit H11 35W 4500k Low Beams (Decided to stay under 5000k to keep the look somewhat OEM)
Morimoto Elite HID Kit 9006 35W 3000k Fogs (Yellow Fogs) + Lamin-X Yellow Fog Light Films (More Yellow)
Philips 9005 CrystalVision ultra Upgrade Headlight Bulb (Pack of 2) High Beams (Standard High Beam Upgrade)
921/T15: Morimoto XB LED (Reverse Light LEDS)
T10/194: ACME Diffuser (Front Parking Lights)

Interior Lights:

Philips Xtreme Vision 360 LED W5W T10 194 168 (6000K) (Pack of 2) x 4 (Map Lights, Side Door Lights, and Tag Lights)
Festoon: Morimoto XB Led 2.0 (31mm) x 2 (Dome Lights)

Exterior:

Ohuhu Matte Aluminum License Plate Frame with Screw Caps (2 Pieces)

Interior:

Grey WeatherTec DigiFit Floor Liners 46011-1-2
MICTUNING 2.1A Dual USB Power Socket for Smart Phone PDA iPad iPhone Charger for Toyota (Planning on installing this in one of the center console slots)
uxcell Silicone USB Port Cover Anti Dust Protector for Female End 10Pcs Black

Misc Needed Items:

GENUINE TOYOTA 4RUNNER REAR RIGHT ROOF RACK END COVER OEM 63493-35021 BLACK (Why the hell are these so damn expensive? Might as well just buy a rack...)
GENUINE TOYOTA OEM COOLER CONTROL CONSOLE BULBS (SET OF 10) 9001009015 - 09019 (I will add the link on how to do the HVAC lighting repair here)


Thanks for reading and your feedback,

Ben

Welcome!

Subscribing because my rear wiper is the same and won't hit the window when it is on.

I'm hoping I get a response on this one as well. I noticed on other 4th gens driving around that they look flush all the way, but mine is stubborn apparently.
