My first mod was upgraded rotors and brakes because they needed to be replaced anyway. Swapping the 20” wheels on my 2010 limited to smaller ones and new tires #6thpost #questfor15
What’s your first mod gonna be?

First mod was HID low beams. Much easier (safer)
to see at night. Adjusted the aim so they aren't binding oncoming traffic, or flooding the cabin of cars at stoplights. Honestly I think some OEM setups are worse offenders than this mod (e.g. new Acura LED headlights, previous gen Corolla HID's)

YES! I can spot a Corolla coming from a mile away at night. And the people buying them are the type of people who will bright light anything that makes them barely squint.

I've had my used 2016 for a little over a week now and it is completely stock so I'm working on knocking out the dumb basic stuff. Matching tint on front windows, LED interior lighs, phone holder, nice rubber floor mats. Then it's off to the races with the expensive shite. Wheels, tires, and lift.

First things first
Ok so I got my first 4runner a couple of weeks ago and I want to jump into modding this thing so bad but I have to take care of some things first.
1) rust correction and prevention. Luckily mine only has minimal surface rust but I am still going to wire brush it, treat it, and paint it. Then follow up with FF or something similar.
2) I have got some noise coming from both the front and rear sway bars (links are ok). So i have to change out some bushings. I will be going with polyurethane. Does anyone know if someone makes the nongreaseable ones with the fur stuff inside for the 4runners?
3) A buddy of mine hooked me up with his 5th gen wheels and tires but I have git to get some new rubbers on there stat.
4) Finally, I am going to take a look at the timing belt and see if that needs to be replaced. The 4R was pretty well taken care of but I want to make 100% sure of my mechanicals before i jump into aftermarket. Anyway here are some pics of her.

Sorry these pics are from when I first got her. The 5th gen wheels and tires were not on yet.

oh man. i bought my 99 last week and i've already ordered:
lift kit
f5 wheels
total chaos front UCA
will get some tires ordered tomorrow. will also probably be doing the LBJs and possibly the steering rack bushings and outter tie rods. hoping i can install all at once to only have to pay the alignment man once.

I just scooped up a 99 Limited, I’m hesitant to do much to it but I’ve been looking at reservoir shocks. I know absolutely nothing about this stuff though. I’ve always worked on my own cars but this is my first Toyota and my first 4x4. A lot of this stuff looks like overbuilt stuff I won’t need. I’m a very OEM kinda guy. I can swap a motor in a Honda in a day but I’m lost with all this.

First after I'm no longer a noob
I've got some mods already but the first major mod after I get my 15 posts will be rock sliders. Still haven't completely decided on weld on vs bolt on. Really leaning to bolt on for ease of access if I need to get under there but I also really want a welder. It's been 18 months thinking bout this... Any suggestions

I'd suggest staying away from any spacer lift and go full suspension + body if you need more clearance for tires. I think I read somewhere or was told that the spacer pucks on the springs can actually worsen the overall spring/ suspension. Check out the Bilstein 5100s lots of people on here have em including myself and I couldn't be happier. Just added an additional 1.5" body lift over the weekend and it's looking sick!
