Ripcord's 2002 4Runner Sport Ed.

Where'd you get that bug shield? I really like it. Wanted to find one for my own.

Thats from Toyota, its the OEM deflector. When i bought mine it was around $50.

And please, try not to quote all the photos, in fact if you should edit your post to get rid of them. It slows the site down and uses up the OPs bandwidth allowance.

I would've, but I was at work and my boss was close so I just hit send.

I have a 01 4Runner and B5 S4 combo.

This pic is old, 4runner now has a lift and tires.
S4 is full stage 3 450whp~

Nice, that would be an awesome lineup to have.

And since I didnt update the thread, I did end up picking up an S4.

Its a 2001.5, currently stage 2.
since ive had it, I did a short throw shifter, and spruced up the interior quite a bit. Currently working on modifying an RS4 bumper to fit, next is suspension / sway bars

Good luck on your S4.

I have crappy H&R springs and Bilstein shocks that came with the car 4 years ago. REALLY need to get coilovers on it.

For coilovers I would get ST's for the cheaper side ($700~) or KW v1 / v2s if you want a little more settings / better ride.

This is my current setup:

His old truck was hot right?

4x Innovations Front bumper - price depends on features you order.

Hey Rip, I pretty much followed your set up for the suspension. Thanks! Toytec 3" with 285s on 17" FN wheels.

Questions:
How much trimming did you need to do? I'm thinking mostly the drivers front tire. No matter how much I cut, I still need to cut more.
Did you change out the rear gearing because of the size upgrade? I found oil all over my rear diff now.

Here is where I ordered my parts:

Dome lights: Oznium.com: $35
Flexible 5mm LED Dome Light
Each LED comes with a set of ‘dummy bulbs’ with easy plug-in wiring to the LED board. These things are crazy bright!

Dash Lights: Autolumination.com: $55
Autolumination Instrument Panel Light Bulbs & Lamps)
--For the 2002’s, almost of all the bulbs you need are #74’s. The climate control uses a few Neo-wedge bulbs.
ECT/rear window:2x Neo-wedge type A
Climate controls:3x Neo-wedge type B
Gauges: 3x #74 (#24) Matrix 5-LED (Type 1; with 3 LED on top, 2 on sides)
Key ring:1x #74 Single LED Superstar
Glove box light: 1x #74 Any style that is narrow
Tranny Shifter:1x #74 Any style that is narrow (Note: there is a green film on inside the shifter, so a white light here did not change the color)
Ash Tray Light:1x #74 Matrix 3-LED (Note: my ashtray light is used in the stereo pocket)

First of all, can you edit the post to not quote so much?

Second, take a look at the first image of the post you quoted..

That front bumper is awesome, any noticible decrease in mpg with it?

OP sold this vehicle if you didn't notice.

He has a new build thread, similar title but says 2.0.

 

[T4R-DDOGG]

The Sliders off your old build, what is the length that you had on there?

Thanks,
