Here's my build thread for a 2005 4Runner V8, my first 4x4 and the first time I've ever purchased a car with the intent to modify it - my first toy! The purpose of this build is a comfortable and family friendly truck with better-than-stock offroad capability. This will be a slow build, because I don't know what I want yet and I'm not made of money...
I've decided to name this build "Old Ordinary" because I don't plan on doing anything extreme or fancy, just a straightforward build up that's functional and hopefully a little but fun.
Here's the truck a few days after I brought it home.
