Final Buildup of '01 4runner Sport
Ok, here are my current pics, I am about half way through of my current buildup of my 2001 3rd gen 4runner.Check THIS ALBUM for my current progress. 65k miles, SR5 model, 3" total suspension lift, 16x8 procomp rims, and 265/75/16 BFG ATs installed, SS Roll Bar In, Magnaflow exhaust and tip done. Seat covers done, husky liners done, bought the matching Nextel Phone as you can see in the pics, Brush guards, PIAA lights, shackle hangers, panhard drop bar, clear corners all done. Audio/Video system done. I am slowly but surely getting there on this truck.
In the pics you can also see my new toy, the '06 f250, this is to haul all my other stuff around with.
All I have left on this truck is
-Sliders (dont know what I'm doing yet at all)
-A Locker (check my DD locker thread)
-Fix Body damage from accident, and replace various trim pieces
-Swap out 4Runner badging with Hi-Lux Surf Badging(in pics, maybe)
-Freeway Baster Horn (not 100% set, may go with the Hella Instead)
-Detail the entire thing
-1 inch body lift
-32 or 32 x 12.50 x 16 (Something, not too many choices out there for this size in tires)
I hope to finish this all by summer, let me know what you think so far, I have been holding out to post my progress pics. Also if you think of anything else for me to throw money at on this, let me know too. Until then, I look forward to your comments, and suggestions. I hope to be finished by the spring on everything. Thanks,
Jason

Nice... As a suggestion, I really like the Jaos wing that Jason B. sells b/c it looks like the 4th gen wing and much better than the stock one IMO.
I think you also need an Ipod adapter b/c the sound quality would be much better than an FM transmitter.
Otherwise, clean truck. I'm sure it'll look good w/ the roll bar.

Thanks!!! I have an older Alpine Head Unit, 9823 which was made before the iPod adapter.The only time I ever have a problem with the iTrip is when someone else has one and they are near me. But I usually just crank some AC/DC, and they lower theirs. As for the Jaos wings, I like them a lot, they are very hot, but by the time I get done painting it, and have it isntalled it is like $500 project, for just a wing. The roll bar powdercoated, and shipped didnt even cost that. Jaos stuff is very nice, but very expensive, especially for someone like me who destroys stuff pretty quick. Ohh, and almost forgot, I also have the to install the kill TRAC switch.

Jason, great looking rig you built so far, can't wait to see that thing all finished. Procomps and BFGs look awesome, brushguard, PIAAs, fit right in. What lift did you end up going with to get a full 3 inches?
Can't wait to get those sport rims from you and post some pics too (not sure if I am going OEM size or P265/75R16s......I'd definately go bigger if it wasn't such a big hit to gas mileage and passing power).

One question for you, do you have the part # off the hilux surf emblem... I just got one and only half the part # was on the package ( Ebay buy ) and was wondering if its a toyota emblem or not...
cheers

yeah, I was wondering about that, mine came in a Toyota sleeve also, but the part # was gone. I was thinking it was because the part is most liekly availible in the states, but they dont want you to order it because it is less than in the auctions. Or it may not be true JDM, either way, the adhsive looks very strong, and the emblem appears to be of high quality
The daystar kit was done in conjuction with a 1/2" top out spacer. If you search there is a link. I always thought that the day start kit was two .75" spacers, w/ the stock(very thin) top out. However, I did not perform this myself, I ordered the daystar kit, and the coils, and had meenekie drop them all in , they did it for $50 extra because they replaced the shocks to the Billsteins at the time. I am not too familiar with the setup, that is just what I ordered. My daystar front kit came with 2 .75" poly spacers and studs only.
Thanks for all of compliments. I hope to have this truck finished soon, and I will make an actual profile. Any preference on freeway blasters or hellas??????

Both Bob and I run that off our Alpine headunits. You can read a write up Bob did here: http://www.4runners.org/articles/pie
If your headunit has a aux. setting, it should work.

grimpy, order the WAAG center protector. I had a tough time finding it it, but I beleieve I ordered it from autoanything.com It is always shown on an explorer in the pictures on sites, and it looks really weird, when you order it for a 4runner it comes one of 2 ways from WAAG, and it seems completely random, because one of my friends ordered it the same time I did, and asked for the same exact thing. Below is the other, random, way it comes.
As for the ipod adapter. I have an aucillary in, and I will probably end up going with a headphone jack to 2 rca plugs. The link above is broken, but thanks for the info.
^^^ The alternate WAAG center protector, which I happen to like better.

awesome, the DD thread is going good, went wheeling for the first time ever this weekend with TTORA NJ in atsion, so my list changed a little. I was very dissapointed with the ATs performance in the sandy soil, and mud, the thornbirds should do the trick though. Locker added also, and a body lift to fit the 31x12.50 thornbirds, as usual, any suggestions, let me know.
