Watson7094's_95'_4Runner_build-up-thread
Okay, here's a little backround on the 'yota then the extensive list of expensive parts/upgrades to be done. It's a stock 95, with the sr5 package. 3.0 v6, red, cloth interior, spare tire underneath, automatic tranny, auto lockers, power everything. Not my normal ride, but i think this could be my future mistress... 
...
Parts time;
a Roof rack of my design (i haven't seen one that will be as functional as what I have in mind)
Low profile trailgear front bumper
Winch is undecided yet, maybe.
the one thing i dont like is that it doesn't have signals, but autozone has ones that i like, so i will be welding a mounting plate/brace for those lights, and when this comes to pass there will be pics...
trailgear rear bumper

For the performance/badass section i want..
aisian manual lockers
4 to 1 transfercase low gear reduction kit
lift 3 in. front/ 4 in. rear. ( to level up a bit, but I want a set of coilovers up front, and stiffer shocks, to help reduce body roll as much as possible.)
some 33/12.50's mud grip for sure probly bfg's
dual stering stabalizer
*note this is my daily driver, and i dont want to go to badass when i'm trying to deliver pizza's in a small city
**After reading the between a rock and muddy place i would like to clarify that this is land that is family owned, and i have permission to go down there, and play around in 4 wheel, at any time.

Sounds like a pretty common build
1. Your factory rear springs have sagged. If you lift the rear higher than the front then it will be higher in the rear, factory coils always sagged in 4runners.
2. If the budget allows get some lockers, at least for the rear.
3. You either have a VF1A or A340H T-case and i haven't seen any low range options for them. I haven't researched it entirely but that's what i can tell, maybe someone else will chime in.
4. With 33's you don't need dual steering stabilizers just one good one is fine.
5. If you do get a front bumper get one that has a winch cradle built in so all you have to do is add it later.

You cannot bolt on an aftermarket front steering stabilizer for your truck because the oil pan is in the way on the V6's. You can make a bracket so you will be able to run one though. Just a heads up in case you go to order one. They will have one listed for the 2nd gen 4Runners but that is with the 4cyl not the V6.

I read somewhere that the 90 to 95 4runners have one inch less ride height in the rear to help reduce body roll, that's why i was going to lift the rear and extra inch.
I was wanting lockers but i wasn't going to say untill i picked out which ones I wanted
I tend to do a decent bit of trail riding, and i was wanting duals, if possible to help with the wheel kick
the low profile front bumper from trail gear i mentioned does have a winch cradle.
Thanks, for the heads up on the stabalizer, and the feedback.
