Ok guys, I'd like to see a list of mods that can be done to our vehicles ('86-'95), all located in one thread. Please state what year the vehicle is and whether it is a truck or Runner, unless it doesn't matter. If the mod is engine/tranny/SR5, etc. specific, please list that as well. They don't have to be mods you've done to your own vehicle, just ones you've seen or heard about. And please list them seperate from the rest of the message text, like this:

Radar Detector
Contico Tool Box
Pilot Driving Lights
Pro-Net Prorunner Tailgate Net
Turn/Parking Light
SR5 Cluster swap
SR5 Lighter swap
SR5 Clock install
Power Inverter
Portable Air Tank
Big 3
Hood Scoop
Go Rhino Brush Guard

EDIT: Also, let's try to only post mods, and not chit-chat, so that it stays organized.

 

Solid Axle Swap
Chevy rear leaf swap
Hi-Steer

What sort of mods are you looking for exactly, also, is the vehicle an 86-89 or a 90-95, they are a bit different.

 

Just about everything I have done to my rig since I bought it.

http://pnw4runners.com/tando/modtoc.htm

 

sway-a-way torsion bars
optima
K&N
NWOR headers
All pro rock sliders
Detroit locker rear
Arb bar
Winch
Ham
CB
CO2 tank
High-lift
OME leafs

sitting in the garage waiting to go on
revolvers
u-bolt flip
new rear shock mounts
1.5" bjs
2" BL
2" motor mounts
new transmission xmember (fabbed)

after all that, biger tires

 

Well, I'm not looking for anything in particular, I'm always looking for any mods I can do, or haven't seen before, if for any other reason, just curiosity.

I know there are differences between 86-88/89-91/92-95 trucks and 86-89/89-91/92-95 4Runners, I just thought since this forum is for 86-95's, that we could have one thread (this one) that would pop up when someone did a search for mods. And they would all be listed here.

EDIT: In other words, the intention of this thread was not just to benefit myself, but others as well.

 

Let's see......

I'll add my non-exciting mods that I haven't seen anywhere else:

- Cowl Louver mesh mod (I got tires of leaves getting stuck under there)
- Seat incline handle screw/washer mod (to prevent the handle from ripping out again)

 

Depends on how define mod doesn't it?
For example I don't consider a radar detector or a tool box or a K&N filter a modification.
Instead of a list of mods, how about the dollar total?
Mine is around $35,000

(dont' forget to read my sig...)
