RTdawgs 2000 4Runner

RTdawgs · 01-29-2006, 08:04 AM

I have owned this 4Runner since May 2002 and the modifications started immediately after it was purchased. I originally had planned to build the 4Runner for 'off-roading' on the weekend, but my plans have changed starting in 2004. I realized that a vehicle as new and as shiny as mine did not needed to be beaten up on the trail. Also, my interests in other outdoor sports like rafting, camping, fly fishing, and hiking grew. So now comes my new goal for the vehicle: a reliable daily driver suited for moderate 4WD travel in the South including highways, mud pits, creeks/rivers, rocks, and steep hills.

Here is a list of the major modifications:

Front Suspension:
-'04 DC Tacoma TRD struts
-'04 Non-TRD 4x4 Tundra coils
- Revtek top spacer
- ATS arms
- Nuke discos
- .75" diff drop spacers

Rear Suspension
- OME 890 coils
- OME N86C shocks

Exterior
- 305/70 Dueler All-Terrains
- 1" Body lift
- TJM T-15 front bumper
- Trail Carnage sliders
- Trail Carnage front/rear skids
- Warm M8000 winch
- Amsteel synthetic winch line
- ARB rear air locker
- ARB air compressor
- Hella FF75 fogs in TJM
- Rock lights on frame

Other
- TRD supercharger
- Tranny cooler
- Power Steering cooler
- Amsoil air filter
- Dynomax muffler
- Cobra 75 WX ST
- 48" Hi-Lift
- Tool bag full of everything needed

Unique
- Line-x'd stock rear bumper
- Engine mounted ARB air compressor
- Engine mounted Warn control box
- CB mounted under tranny shifter
- Frame mounted rock lights
- Hella fogs mounted inside TJM

What I've done recently
- Tacoma struts instead of OME
- PS inner tie rod
- Cleaned interior fan unit
- Energy Susp. steering rack bushings
- Derale power steering cooler
- 305/70R16 Dueler ATs

Future Plans
- 4.88 gears

Thats about it.
