Things to know if you're considering a 4Runner

[mnofpeace]

At some point you will come to the realization that the ONLY vehicle upgrade that will truly satisfy you is a Land Cruiser LC200...

its the only logical next vehicle-step. EVERYTHING else pales in comparison

I wish Toyota will bring Prado to US vs all over the world but US...

I own (now) older vehicles.
1968 F100, 78 & 80 Yamaha XS1100's, 88 Honda trx300.
I bought the 4runner because I'm tired of tinkering.
So I installed rock sliders. It came with a spacer lift. That needs to be replaced with a proper suspension. Ditch lights would be handy where I live (as actual ditch lights). PITA spare underneath, needs a hitch mounted carrier or rear bumper. Maybe make my own hitch carrier. Then it would need a matching front bumper. A rear locker would make life easier. Might as well do a front locker too.
Still fiddling with carbs and points on the older vehicles. Bolting stuff on the 4runner could be done by a monkey. But I'll do the best I can, lol.

...and/or the LC 70-Series...
preferably the LandCruiser 76 Yute.

the 4Runners tougher, less refined older brother.

We have better chances to retire in AU than Toyota to bring the UTE from AU in US...

Is it weird that I spent hours looking at mods before I even got it? Rhetorical question...

well, at least we have access to the Prado...in the Lexus GX.

Not the list I expected, had a good laugh tho, lol

lol ---- i'm already dreaming up my mods........
(( and i'm gonna be HAPPY with my rig!! ))

 

[pancakesfan]

Haha this is so true. I've had an old Honda CR-V that I've been tinkering with for the past year on my street in Brooklyn, and now that I'm on the hunt for a 4th gen TFR it feels like the mods are endless (until I max out my CC lol), and resources for DIY stuff are even greater than CR-Vs. Can't wait to find mine!

What do you mean? My UPS driver thanks me for keeping her employed! She even leaves treats for the dogs (all three of them)!

If you are coming from cars, like I am, remember that it drives like a truck, it always will, and that's OK! You want it to drive that way...that's why it can do what it can :cheer2:

I could copy and paste this list to my boating forum and it would have the same meaning

When ever you do what you think is a simple job, budget for double the time because nothing ever goes as it should. A bolt wont move, you forget a part, a plastic clip breaks, you find something else wrong, you don't have a socket that large, something always goes wrong.

you think it will be a chick magnet, but only other guys want to talk to you about it! should have never sold my miata....

Most of my vehicles and hobbies seem to end up in the obsession category.

As soon as I can find a 1999 4R with a V6 and manual trans, I'm ready to add it to the list of obsessions!

Exactly, I'm treating the 4runner more like a boat than a car.

Here's one more. Never before my 4Runner did I join a vehicle forum. Now my employer is getting cheated out of hours each week spent here:eyebrows:
