So I realize that I haven't posted a build thread (not like i was asked) but I would like to keep a timeline of what I've done. I haven't done too much, but I am still building So here's where I started;
Picked her up in 2013 2000 4Runner 2.7L L4 2WD Base no roof rack (naked) 186,000
That was my coworker, not me. but there she is with her cracked turn signal housing and all
First thing I did was oil change, and inspect all major components and there were no leaks, noises, etc. had a small rough idle, so I cleaned the throttle body and did a fuel system and injector cleaning.
fast forward a couple months and my tire blew so I slapped my new rubber on
31x10.5/R15 General Grabber AT2, love them, and they are still great.
as you can see I also replaced the turn signal housings because the old ones were dirty and broken.
Time went on and I started adding small components like an alpine head unit, 2 12" Subs, and just the basic LED lights inside.
Then a friend of mine said "Hey, I have a muffler i had on my 2.7 tacoma that you can have" so I decided hell yeah, and we went ahead and put that on and it sounds better.
Here she is after a fresh wash and such:
Fast forward a while, and a few oil changes later I was not happy with the stock speaker sound with no tweeters, so I took a trip to the local Pick-Your-Part and picked up some stock tweeters, and the covers, total cost from the yard was about $8 and everything was pristine!
Stock tweeters, my truck didn't come with them.
Here's the covers I picked up at the yard.....
Then, I decided it was time for a roof rack, and after searching the forum for a stock rack and seeing as shipping costs and such would put it at about $150 i went to the same Pick-Your-Part and went digging, and ended up finding a stock rack that was in damn decent condition, so i picked that up for a whole whopping $27 and up she went onto my truck (who I have named Natasha)
Here she is with the rack
Let it be for a bit, but not for long, for then i found these wheels, and bought them, and put them on, which brings us to present day, how she sits, right this moment.
203,000
I will continue to post all additions and mods here, but here is a little list of what I want to do (not in order):
-4WD Conversion
-Trans Cooler
-Lower Control arms (bushings are starting to crack)
-2-2.5" lift
-Armor Upgrades (bumpers, sliders, undercarriage)
-Soundproofing
-Rear Diff lock
-Fog Lights
-Misc. lights (floods, led bars)
-Satoshi Grill Mod with my own twist
-HID Lights
-Clear Corners
-Find a Sport hood, and paint it Desert Dune ('Cause I'm a rebel)
-Find a permanent spot for my Subs
-Add a CB radio
-HIT SOME DAMN TRAILS!
Thanks for any help and advice I get along the way! I've been a part of this forum and have learned so much more about these trucks and what they are capable of than when I wasn't a part of this forum!
Cheers!
