oh boy...



gerneral suplies?

specific for your 4Runner?

specify...



4wheelparts has a pretty good selection of general accesories, and some parts

but if you're looking to upgrade your 4Runner, I'd highly suggest WabFab, as well as 4crawler, Trail-Gear, Downey... there's TONS

google it

If you like spending money an ARB bumper is pretty nice.

At the top of the page there is a place where it says "search". Click that. Type in "bumper" or "4runner bumper" use your imagination and start reading.

^They're personally my favorite look for the 4Runner, but I don't currently have the budget to get one. If you do, I'd recommend one. They seem to be insanely sturdy and do a great job housing a winch or whatever else. Also the MarlinCrawler rear tube bumper is a nice choice. Very slim and solid. It's all personal choice though.

No. I'm amazed the scube hasn't come in and tore you one. It's really just unnecessary when you could just search it. Not worth the hassle. Where in AZ are you?

Dang man! I was actually in Prescott all day today! How do you not have a wheeling group? I saw so many 2ng gen 4runners up there and like a dozen older pickups and a few FJs while I was tooling around town checking out some spots. I'll be up there with my 4R next sunday god willing and I hope to hit a few of the trails around there. I'm so jealous of all the spots you guys have so close around.

yah i havent done much research about trails or anything. Idk i just dont get connected with a 4 wheely group i guess. I mean right now my 4runner is the only car i have so if i total it or anything im kind of screwed lol. What trails are u talking about cause i havent looked around or anything. never been on a "real" 4 wheeling experience i guess.

I think Scuba has not responded with the Search suggestion since this is in the Newbie tech section and based on the rules no member in this section should just be told to search. Of course, interrunner, the search feature will help with your question. Also, go through the vehicles in the check out my truck section https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f78/ to give you ideas of how you want to build your 4runner.
Also check out the vendor section https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f37/
The more you frequent the site, your knowledge base will increase and you will become familiar with more vendors.
Take your time and do the research so you will do everything right the first time and wont end up with a vato zone truck

There are a ton in Black Creek Canyon and the surrounding cities, If you just head south on the 69 and get on the I-17 you'll have to look around a little, but there are a ton just hidden off to the sides of the highway.
Godzilla- sorry about that, I tried..
