What is on your plate this year for mods

What is on your plate this year for mods?

I'm throwing around the idea of a lift and some new rear lower links. Maybe, a thule or yakaima basket.

I'm starting off small this year...Downey 26mm torsion bars, 1.5in. ball joint spacers, some 3 inch lift rear springs, 1st Gen roll bar and some on board air. Nothing spectacular but it'll be an improvment for my trail run/fishing trip to BC in June or July.

phildelfino · 01-20-2008, 06:16 PM

The first is the install of a used Marlin Crawler rear bumper. Just bought it. Then a front bumper as my stocker is bent and missing corner pieces. Then I can't decide if sliders should be next or a locker or two then sliders. I am leaning towards sliders first because I may want to swap gears when I get lockers. Sliders would be cheaper and therefore faster to acquire.

What do you think? Lockers after bumpers? Or sliders before lockers?

The age old dilema, huh...............

breknraj · 01-20-2008, 06:34 PM

Repair or replace the crossover pipe for my 3.4
Replace timing belt
Revamp the exhaust under the cab, including a flex section, more support, and a URD O2 simulator
Finish my hood scoop mod
Re-gear and install my rear e-locker
Figure out how to install a pair of heated leather Audi seats
Determine which bank to rob to re-paint the truck!

Anubiscougar · 01-20-2008, 06:42 PM

Get the 350 in my truck & get it going vroom vroom down the road.. erm.. i mean, the trail. *cough* *crosses fingers in hopes of not breaking much*

111db · 01-20-2008, 07:17 PM

By saturday I will have a couple new bumpers: TJM 17 front and Irbis rear. (installed)
Rear quarter tubing - from bumper to slider.
Aux lighting, maybe IPF? (IPF installed)
Winch
Considering the ATV ramp/roof rack dealio
Odyssey battery
Skid plate for fuel tank & possibly custom aux tank at stock spare tire location.
Aluminum frame sleeping platform w/storage

89macrunner · 01-20-2008, 07:23 PM

Sliders and stereo work for now.

My trucks my daily driver/LIGHT wheeler so I like to keep things simple and inexpensive.

Elvota · 01-20-2008, 07:34 PM

Possibly looking into getting a Tacoma of some sort for a DD and expedition type vehicle. If that happens.... Elvota will fully evolve.

Chop the back off the 4Runner, blend in the rear window/ wall from a pickup
Bob 12" or so off the back of the 4Runner
Remove the tailgate entirely
37" tires plus fender trim
Exo of sorts... at least better fender and tail protection
Some kind of re-paint

Maybe an aux fuel tank of sorts
Maybe beadlocks
Maybe chromo rear axles
Maybe a front E-Locker (to replace the Aussie)

So if anyone is looking for you we'll find you in your garage, a LOT

SC4Runner · 01-20-2008, 07:48 PM

I donno what I need to do.

RIght now I'm happy, but, I would really like a new front bumper since mine is all bent up... but, I have no MONEY!@!#

Baaaahhh. Compared to what I have done all ready that list of new mods will take about 15 minutes... 25 tops.

yotasavg · 01-20-2008, 08:09 PM

i'm thinking ARB's, onboard air, and a TC gen II caddy. top it off with some 33's and gears. maybe a daily driver too....lol.

C'mon, I'll stop by with my cutter/grinder and a 12 pack. We can at least stretch it into an hour or so, right?

nick_8787 · 01-20-2008, 08:27 PM

Sliders, back up lights, rear bumper probably an MC bumper. Unfortunately this will all have to wait till after this summer.

After the 12 pack... I am sure it will take more than an hour... and I may loose a bit more metal than expected.

seafarinman · 01-20-2008, 08:40 PM

Parts that I already have: 1998 Tacoma 2RZ-FE/Marlin Crawler 2/3RZ conversion bellhousing/Competition Clutch 6 puck race clutch/87 Turbo R151F/dual ultimate crawler (244:1), FROR crossmember. Parts that I don't yet have: 30 spline Longs, chromo rear axle shafts, bobbed bed, roll cage, some 40's to replace my 37's.

ciscojay · 01-20-2008, 08:47 PM

I have all the stuff for my "final" power mods but need to find the time to install and retune. AirAid MIT, Supra TT MAF, and waiting for my Jardine catback to show up. I should be done after that

. I always hesitate to do anything intake or exhaust related since she's running so damn good as it is...more power would be nice.

I'm also contemplating upgrading the suspension for more offroad capability. I have some OME 881/906s sitting on the floor waiting to go in, but that would really sacrifice performance on pavement, I'm running PP springs now. A nice cushier ride would be nice though. I wouldn't be suprised if all this stuff just sat in a box all summer lol. I'm lazy.

James Dean · 01-20-2008, 08:54 PM

1. I'm getting ready to fix all my dings and paint my 93 4Runner, Lexus color 8N8. Then put my own factory replacement stripes on it.
2. Straight air intake tube.
3. Volvo S80 Electric Fan.
4. MSD ignition Control Box.
5. Reversable Sliders that can be turned and used as steps.

That should pretty much bankrupt me.

that would be a hell of a show! So lets see. One little red truck is on the bill for you?? Like a tacoma version of the ss yota!

I'm sure you'll keep that daily driver stock...
...

881stGenRunner · 01-20-2008, 10:07 PM

So far the only thing on my plate is some 35x10.50R15 SS TSL Radials.

fastkevman · 01-21-2008, 01:18 AM

Custom rear bumper, better speakers, more lighting, bucket seats, console, 3.4 conversion, and rear e-locker......of course I had planned on having this all done this winter but, I have had my house for sale since May of last year and I've been paying two mortgages (condo & house) which hurts a little when you're single.

Hopefully the market picks up and my house sells in spring.....if not the truck might be on here for sale.

Dare44 · 01-21-2008, 01:40 AM

after its paid off,bumpers, lockers,tires, maybe if im lucky a lift but we will have to see where my job goes

speakers and sliders are going on next week

X-AWDriver · 01-21-2008, 02:09 AM

A couple little fix-its/maintenance and then hopefully a set of Stubbs sliders by April.

CyMoN · 01-21-2008, 02:21 AM

get the body work done on the 4runner and start driving it again and fix the broken motor mount.
