Wmflyfisher's 2002 4Runner Build-Up Thread
Figured I would go ahead and start this for myself and others who look to gain knowledge from my experiences.
Picked up this beauty last week with 111k. Runs great and is a good bit nicer than my Tacoma was.
Plans are to build a mild, yet capable expedition vehicle for camping, hunting, fishing, and those long hwy trips if needed. The list of planned mods are as follows.
Suspension:
- OME 890 Rear Springs
- Bilsteins 5125's
- Fabtech Dirt Logic coilovers
- Diff drop
Tires:
- 285/75/16 Cooper STT's
Interior:
- Cobra CB
- Garmin GPS
- Alpine head unit, Pioneer components, JL Amp & 12W6
Exterior/Body:
- Sliders
- Custom front bumper
- Hella 4000's
- Black pearl emblems
Performance:
- ISR mod
- Trueflow air filter (this combo with ISR mod added about 4 MPG!)
- Magnaflow muffler??
These are obviously the must haves and maybes. I'm sure there will be more along the way. Feel free to add something if you have any suggestions. Stay tuned!
Had some time yesterday so I went ahead and installed my sub, head unit, and CB. I must say that this is the absolute best CB for mounting under an aftermarket CD player. The fit couldn't get any better. Looks as if it belongs there.
Cheers!

No drastic mods yet. Removed the running boards and tinted the windows. Plan to install the lift and tires sometime this week or weekend. Some pics from the mountain earlier today.

Hey, what kind of nerf bars are those? Did they come from the factory? I have my stock factory running boards and have been looking for actual nerf bars and i like the way yours look.

Thanks Mokai! Man I can tell I'm going to love these tires. I've always been a BFG guy so it was time to try something new. And besides, I got the whole set new for $580 shipped!! They ride awesome so far.
Is that line-x on the bottom of your rig?? I really like that. How is it holding up?? Wonder how much it would run me?

I got mine for $600 new!
These are the Fabtech basic coilovers. Still good quality though. Mine adjust from the top down.
