New To Me 4th Gen

[Critt003]

Hello All,

Been lurking for a little bit trying to get details, facts etc. for purchasing a decent 4runner. Went back and fourth on what exactly I wanted between a 3rd Gen and a 4th Gen. Ended up pulling the trigger on a 4th Gen SR5 4x4 V8 yesterday afternoon with 159k on it. Has a ToyTec Ultimate 3inch lift with adjustable UCA's and Method Wheels with Goodyear Duratrac tires not much else as far as mods. First plans are to do a bunch of maintenance (diff fluid change, transfer case fluid change, oil change and grease up the drive shaft u-joints and slip shafts) then probably enjoy it before I do anything else. Glad to be able to use this forum to learn how to do some DIY's and cant wait to get my hands dirty making this thing mine.

Too bad they no longer have the v8 in the new 4runners.

Love that Black on Black look.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, has some issues I need to take care of (ripped drivers seat, the commons cracked dash and a dent on the drivers side rear bumper end) but I like it. Coming from a bunch of lowered VW's I can say there's a lot more piece of mind driving a lifted truck vs a slammed VW. Hopefully pulling the running boards this weekend and tackling some maintenance.

Visited my local dealer last week, have a dash on order for the repair but they are saying about a 4 or so month wait.

Did the Diff and Transfer case fluids on Saturday along with fixing the foggy headlights and debadging it. Just ordered LED bulbs for the interior and backup lights. Next saving for some sliders so I can get rid of the stock stuff.

Please let me know how you like your chosen back-up bulbs. I haven't tried any inexpensive ones that put out better light than the stock incandescent bulbs.
