Picked it up today and got a ridiculous good deal on it. It's a 97 4Runner 4x4 5 speed with 157k miles for only $4500. Gonna be a great multi-purpose vehicle.
All it needs that I'm aware of is a tire rotation/balance (ASAP!), new tires, and new brake pads.
Next week I'm going to do a full detail on it and bring it back to its prime. Gonna wash, clay, and wax it as well as polish the headlights, tail lights and use chrome shine on the bumpers. In addition I'm going to sand and paint the rims since they're pretty nicked up. Once I'm done with that I'm going to touch up the subframe/chassis with some rust fix and spray it with bedliner paint. The only thing so far i'm disappointed with is the GAY cupholders, they're pretty much useless so I need to figure something else out.
Once I sell my Acura and get some money together, I'm hoping to get these mods done in order:
HID's
Alarm System/Keyless Entry (suggestions?)
Brushguard w/ offroad lights
Clear bumper lights
2" Lift
Well enough talk, here are the pics!
My first mod lol. You cannot go without one of these in any car!!
Holy sh!t I have a center console!!
Paint starting to chip off the rear wiper blade assembly...any suggestions for new paint?
Really cool storage compartment in the back
Pulled apart the rear tail lights to change the bulb. Was found with a ton of dirt underneath both. This was before.
