bugeye1257's Build Thread: 2005 4runner Sport

[bugeye1257]

Well, I think it has come time to start a build thread here. I have been lurking this forum for a while and I thought, why not and share my T4R? I have had it for about 3 years now and have finally started to modify it lately, very surprising as I work for a Aftermarket Performance Whole Sale Distributor (Turn 14) and am surrounded by the scene 24/7. This thread is to capture my adventures with the 4Runner and log my modifications. Hope you enjoy!

I have the same spring set up as you front and rear. However just swapped to superflex hd's, the ride is great. However I find the front a touch soft, especially when braking.

With the hd's in the rear it might not be the best combo if it is unloaded in the rear. I can see it being a bit soft at times. However it is ten times better then blown out xreas struts!

right now I just have my storage drawers and the ride is really nice.

I sure did, nice catch!

Fully built ej207 with a holset hx40 turbo, kept it around 440whp on only 24lbs.

Here is a old picture of it.

Thought the screen name sounded familiar. I had a silver rhd Sti swapped bugeye.

 

[bugeye1257]

Yep, now I know where ive seen your screen name before.

I follow your tundra build and now its making me want to buy all these lights for the 4runner.

I guess 1275 was taken?

Be sure to post plenty of pics! This sounds like a fun project.

nice looking setup!

 

[UpperLeft86]

Looking good! Nice to see another 4th Gen around here.

 

[bugeye1257]

Nothing to new here, but I thought id share a iphone picture.

Pushed my liners in but still have to trim the front bumper. Rubs on the body when in reverse so a BMC will have to be done. Running boards will be coming off tomorrow.

 

[bugeye1257]

Just some new images. Now without the running boards (Much better!).
Not too much new, just waiting on some 06+ headlights to come in!

Small adventure over the weekend. Nothing crazy, just some local roads.
