Well guys and gals, Ill just put this here.
This is my 2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited/Sport.
Purchased with money from a 1968 Mustang I built AND from a 1984 Jeep XJ I also built.
Bought for $11,500 from a lady who wanted a Prius. Had 124k miles when I got it. Had every service completed at the dealership WITH the stamps from each in the log.
Has V-8, Center Diff. Locker, 12 speaker premium sound, tow package.
Stock, the week I got her.

About a month later, I built a roof rack (still have it, I've modified it to what it is now. Running Daystar 2.5/1.5 in these photos. These are 265/65/17's. I still have these on my rig today.

Jump ahead 2 months, I installed the Rancho 2.5" Quick Lift with the 9000XL adjustable shocks, a 42" light bar, change my roof rack design,and paint my wheels black.

Later on, about 3 weeks later, I decided to build a front "baja" style bumper from some DOM tubing scrap we had laying around the shop. Took about 10 hours from conception to completion. Cost $30 total because of paint. Removed my rear sway bar, am running FJC coils in the back, chopped my exhaust, and added a cherry bomb.

Leveled after the FJC coils (I need some meats now on the four corners, I know. Saving up!!)

Right is the OEM coil, the left is the brand new FJC. Totally worth it.

Another mod, which I tossed because I'm moving and the hinge I used was too wobbly. MKII will be much better and prolly swingout. This project took about 1 hour (2 hours because paint dried, but 1 hour fab time). Cost? $12 for license plate LED strip. Drove with it for about a month, no problems.

Here is a view of my roof rack I built. It slides into the original roof rails, I can remove it in about 15 minutes and stick the original cross bars on it.

I suppose I'll mention that I also added the 3 clearance marker lights to my grille to help break up all the black.

I know I haven't done much, but I've only had the car since March of this year. I plan to run a snorkel and get 33's to finish it all up. A project car is never finished and I am extremely excited to see what y'all do to yours. They always give me new ideas to help move my build forwards!
Peace,
