Well, sad day...insurance totaled out the 4runner due to a hail storm we had out here. Now that magnuson has teased of a 5th gen SC, i may step up to that in the near future!!

Oh, and F you photobucket...

Finally feel like I have enough stuff done to create a thread. Not into showing pics of the same stuff everyone else does, or calling stickers "mods", but I'll share a few I personally like!

Here is a somewhat "complete" list of the things that i have added that didn't come w/ the truck when i bought it used...

Stock form: 05 4runner SR5 v8 4x4 JBL stereo.

- Red LED cluster/Nav/HVAC/steering wheel/switches swap

- Polk 8" MM840SVC powered by an MTX TX2002 200w (@12.5v) amp

- 06+ LED tails
- Black aftermarket grill

Suspension:
Current:
- TRD progressive tacoma springs set at 2nd notch and 5100s all around
- OEM FJ rear coils
- Airlift airbags in rear
- Driver 1.5" Daystar rear spacer to try to level out. still about 1" difference side to side?

1. RX330 HID retro (have the projectors, collecting other parts)
2. Backup camera (wired to e7009)
3. FJ shifter
4. Aux reverse lights
5. SS brake lines (have fronts, need 4 rear ones)
6. Rear sway bar extensions

The day I picked her up

After wheels/tires and then after the lift

Rear boots

Interior swap (forgive the terrible cell pics)

Grill changeout:

e7009! (red LED swap to come):

swapped the LEDs!

'07 Homelink/BT mic overhead console

8" Polk MM840SVC sub powered by a bridged MTX TC2002 (200w @ 12.5v). Nothing crazy, but sounds a ton better. Need to add a little sound deadener, used what I had.

Lookin good so far Josh, definitely more than sticker mods

Definitely looking forward to seeing more of your "todo" list come to fruition, but your truck looks great so far.

can you post the link to where you got the rear boot for the Icons?

 

[yosh2000]

updated initial post with a link for the shock boots. just std procomp boots.

Looks solid, only "problem" i see with your pics, is you haven't done the TPMS light delete mod. haha.

But really nice start, and thanks for the link to the boots!

i actually like the TPMS light and intend to keep it. yes it is a little annoying at the start of winter, but i have a compressor in the garage for an easy fix. call me crazy, but i actually think those things are a good feature in a vehicle.

Gotcha. . . I just assumed it was due to no sensors in the new/bigger tires. But makes sense.

Love ve the red led

I love the red LED swap. Looks like BMW's interiors, which IMO are the best interiors out there.
