2003 Supercharged Ute back 4Runner

02Runner · 09-26-2008, 08:37 AM

Well, I am shamelessly going to post a link to my 4Runner.

I started this truck many moons ago. Lance, James and a small gang of us began to modify these trucks back before many mods were available (Hell, even Billy was around then). I wanted to take it to the next level and feel that I've accomplished that. I soon after moved to Land Cruisers and pretty much abandoned YT. (Sorry Corey)

Unfortunately, my wife and I are gearing up for a move to the Philippines in December and we've begun to liquidate some of our goodies. Again,

.

Heres one pic, there are about 20 on the listing.

So here is a quick copy and paste from the ebay listing.

Flea Bay listing

2003 Supercharged Toyota 4Runner. This truck was modified to a utility/truck back. The vehicle has never been in an accident and was modified in order to create something totally different.I am the original owner.

Factory advantages of the 4Runner are:

*Smaller sized SUV that is easily maneuverable on and off road
*Toyota reliability
*Full time 4WD
*Factory power sun/moon roof
*Homelink system
*4.7L V8 provides plenty of power and torque.
*XReas suspension package creates a handling package that is unequaled by any other SUV in the market. If you've ever driven a Runner with XReas, you know this vehicle handles like a sports car

Custom additions to this truck:

*Rear was professionally cut into a ute back and the spare tire carrier was incorporated into the tail gate. The carrier tilts down to allow better access to the bed and tire.
*Rear winch installed underneath the truck controls the carrier and the cable is easily removed for winching purposes.
*Revtek suspension lift
*4 inch body lift was installed on the truck to allow for the larger tires without rubbing (even under full stuff).
*Kenwood CD/DVD/Sirius player with an integrated back up camera. The sound system is also custom and comes with a subwoofer and amp.
*After market bumpers and sliders.
*TRD Supercharger
*Safari Snorkel
*Mirror lights
*HID conversion
*ARB rear lockers and an ARB compressor
*2 Optima Yellow Tops, 1 to run the winch/tire carrier. Theres an easy jumper site in the event the main battery is flat that would allow athe truck to start off the rear battery.
*OEM Toyota driving lights (no longer available)
*Power sliding rear window
*The seats were recovered with a catskin type leather with the TEQ emblem into them. (TEQ = Toyota in Kanji)
*35/14.5/R20 Nitto Mud Grappler's (6 total)
*20" charcoal powder coated Enkei wheels (5)

This is the sickest 4th gen i have ever seen. if i had the flow it would be mine.
Did you build a Lexus crawler that was cut into a convertible at one point? i found one on Ebay a few years ago and it has been my screen saver for eva'. II swear you had a picture of it on the same rocks as one of you other pics.

Solid man, good luck with the sale.

The Lexus and an earlier Ute-back 100 Series Cruiser were built by Alan Podvin. I do not think that this seller has any relation as Podvin's shop is in Colorado.

that truck is so rad!!! i dream of one day getting my shop up and running so i too could try and build machines like that!!!!!

02Runner · 09-29-2008, 02:42 AM

Thanks for the compliments. The truck was/is a ton of fun.

Alan did build this truck (most of it). Just an fyi, he has a web site now for his one off work. Ill see if I can find it and post it up here later. I bought his first 100 series truck and he bought it back when we decided to build this truck. I'll try to post some pics later today.

Ever see his six wheel drive LX 470?
