2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited. Transmission was rebuilt, and an external transmission cooler was installed.
I have refrained from driving the vehicle in the winter as much as possible. I purchased it as an overlanding vehicle and have modified it accordingly.
The lift is a Sonoran Steel, Classic System 1.2. It is adjustable in the front end from 1.5 to 3.5”. It is currently set at 2”.
Front end: Bilstein 5100 Sever HD shocks. New Toyota TRD progressive front coils (2005/06 Tundra TRD coils). All bushing, nuts bolts and washers were replaced. JBA STD high caster upper control arms (Replacement ball joints can be purchased from JBA or a GM ¾ ton truck ball joint).
Rear end: Toyota 80 series Land Cruiser coils. Toyota Tokico shocks. Sonoran Steel adjustable trac bar/Panhard bar. Sonoran Steel extended bump stops adapters and Daystar bump stops. Sonoran Steel adjustable sway bar brackets and extended brake lines.
All suspension and steering bushing have been replaced.
Marathon seat covers over top of factory leather. Weather Tech floor mats throughout.
Front bumper is a Northwest Trail Innovations weld it yourself kit bumper. I am a certified welder and built it myself. ComeUp SEAL GEN 2 9.5-ton, series wound winch with steel cable. The rear bumper is a custom bumper I made. The rock sliders are from 4x4 innovations. They are directly welded to the frame with backing plates and gussets.
Stereo is an aftermarket Alpine touch screen.
The 5 matching alloy wheels are off a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD PRO. They are wrapped in a 31.5” Mastercraft mud terrain tires that have around 7k on them. The truck itself should accommodate a 33” tire without any further modifications. The rear tire carrier was built to carry a 33” tire without obstructing the taillights.
Timing belt and water pump service were done at 154k and it presently has 174,000 on it. I have receipts for work performed at the shop. I change my own oil and always use synthetic. The front end was rebuilt as I mentioned before with new pins, bushing, bolts, tie rods, rack ends etc. The ash tray has been removed and in its place is a SCAN GUAGE II. The engine skirts have been upgraded.
I will be including the winch controller, high lift jack and other miscellaneous parts. I have a folder with the dates of all oil changes, repairs, upgrades along with part numbers if you need anything in the future.
The paint is faded in some spots, drivers side mirror does not fully adjust, passenger door lock will not open if your try and use the key to pick block it. Transmission leaves a drop or two in the driveway. I check the fluids and haven’t had an issue in 6 years of ownership.
