Hey Everyone! Well, the time has come, and i finally own a 4Runner! 
Tjis is the best vehicle i have ever purchased without a doubt! And i've owned some fun ass rides!
I bought the truck last week for my girl to use as a daily and myself as a toy, for the time being.
It's a 1998 Limited TRD Factory Supercharged edition! It was evidently supercharged from the factory/dealer(?). it had the trd emblems on it from new, but unfortunately one of the previous owners removed them, though you can still see even the trd in the outlive where they used to be
It has just over 160k original miles, TRD 1st gen grey blower, oak leather interior and all the options for a 98. interior is in terrific shape, car is in overall great condition. Aside from the blower the only mods are a brand new set of American Racing 16x9 atx series teflon coated wheels and a matching brand new set of general grabber at2 265/70 tires, 8000k HID conversion, and aftermarket deack, amp and speaker. the wheels are nothing insane, but the offset with the limited flares gives it a great stance. i cant belive this is the factory size tire!!!
I know, i know...... PICS!!!
Well, a friend of a friend of a friend is getting us the hookup at a topnotch carwash on wednesday for a ~$400 detail job for free, and i just cant bear to post pics of it dingy before it gets a full midlife restore! So be patient please, i will def post pics of it on weds!
So far i threw in a kicker L7 10" i had from a previous car, there was already an amp in the car, just for some quick thumps for free I also got the alarm fixed, guy who sold it to me said it didnt work and i noticed the hood pin was bent, got it fixed and properly working for $35 this afternoon! Now i can sleep a bit sounder no doubt! (Had a car stolen about 2 months ago from the city :/) I will be getting all the fluids and whatnot changed this coming week, with good stuff like amsoil. The thing runs and rides great, not a whole lot i really NEED to do, though i think ill change the fuel filter and such too while im at it. Timing belt was changed like 25k ago, so good on that, all the others are sound.
The Bad: the car has been wrecked in front. has a clean title with the accident recorded, did not cause it to salvage, but the headlights, grill, hood, bumper and rad support were replaced i could tell. sort of crappy, but its not too bad and gives me a reason to redo the front the way i want! ( see mods list below!) headlights, corners and blinkers are depo. has some hella fogs chopped into the bumper, decently ill add.
The good: car as never been scraped or offroaded. ever. main owner of the car had 24's with low pros in san fran. underside is very, very clean. trd supercharger, obviously, and the thing is clean as all hell overall. leather is in terrific condition, car drives, 4wheels and crusies perfectly.
Coming mods and accessories:
-OEM rear cargo net (on the way)
-OEM Oak floor mats (have the rear in great shape)
-OEM woodgrain trim (has upper center and door handles, need the other three pieces)
-OEM '99+ headrest holder mod
-Deckplate mod (maybe an actual intake, not sure if it helps the s/c model yet, know it hurts the n/a)
-Black LED tails, Black Depo heads and corners (wanted the led's, and found both the head and tails for $100 total, so couldnt go wrong i figured
)
-VIS CF OEM Scoop hood (id rather pay $500 for cf than $400 for painted metal)
-99+ bumpers (at some point, current chrome bumpers are in great condition)
-Custom mesh 96-98 grill
-Sunshade
-Tint front windows (rear and backs are already 5%, nothing in front)
-Black out third brake light
-Paint or hydro carbon OEM rear spoiler
-7th injector kit
-Tundra 231mm brake upgrade
Tons more to come as far as mods, especially off road accessories! More soon! Cheers!
