Thought of another one that I haven't seen before but it be an interesting mod.

Basically, take a page out of the minivan book and modify the very back windows to open up like they do on the minivans.

wow Nice new (to me) mods! now one this one do you happen to have a parts list or item # for the shims and maybe a vehicle specific write up?

My wife is probably gonna be mad cause i know i have like 9 mods to do to the 4runner when i get back home.. but she likes horse power too, and when she sees the price tag it will be worth it.

Bump for a very updated first post. Added a ton more mods to it and will add more as they are found. Who knows, this could be sticky material after all.... only time will tell...

If you have a 4wd 4Runner, there's a breather on the front diff. In my '02, my front diff breather was extended from the factory. Oh and Breathers are located on the diffs to dissipate heat.

That bypass for the coolant to the throttle body is a baaaaaaaaaad idea for cold weather people. Your throttle plate will freeze in place when the condensation freezes. This coolant prevents the condensation from freezing. When it's cold out, condensation forms on the throttle plate.
