Hey guys, been laying low on this board for awhile and checking it out. This weekend I finally went out and bought my first Runner. Its a 2002 SR5 Sport Edition. I LOVE IT!!! Extras include brush guard, PIAA lights, rear light guards and much more to come!! Now I just have to wait for the snow! Anyone else on the board from Minnestoa? Ok, enough with the chit chat, here are the pics. I would post them on the board, but they are too big. So go to the link and let me know what you think!
Thanks guys

Looks great, did the brush gaurd and lights come with it?

 

Nice Marc!
I haven't seen that color SE before, looks good.

 

Nice truck! Congrats.

Nice to have those goodies on there when you got it.

 

Welcome Marc! your 4Runner looks really sweet... You said, "much more to come" so what's on the agenda?

 

Thanks for the welcome guys!
Whats on it came with it....
Its a little different for me, my last car was a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, so its weird driving an SUV but I bought some jet skis and snowmobiles and it was just too hard on the car towing those. It was actually my insurance guys 4runner.
More to come....Well, first will be a new stereo! That reminds me, has anyone made a sub box to fit in the back over the rear wheel well? If so, could you send directions/dimensions my way? (xlmartinixl@yahoo.com) Then I want to do an intake and maybe a supercharger depending on the funds. But before the supercharger I would like to stick a nice set of rims/tires on there, just dont know what yet. So if you guys have any suggestions on intakes/rims/tires that would be much appreciated. This truck isnt going to be for extreme off-roading but will be mainly used in the cities and towing the toy!
So far I love it, but the guy I bought it from smoked so I spent all weekend carpet cleaning it. Smells 200% better now, but is still there. Gonna take awhile, but I dont mind!
Good to be here guys!
Thanks again!

 

Tried Febreeze?

 

And dump a can of Lysol in the AC air intake while its on full blast. It should be located near the hood cowl. Make sure the AC is not on recirculate.

 

for the sub box, you could use a q-logic box. takes a 10"

oh yea, Febreez is used big time along with this other stuff that goes in the carpet cleaning solution. Its really not bad at all now.
That Q-Logic is pretty cool but pretty spendy! I still think I might build my own, I built my own custom one in my other car with some dimensions a friend gave me. Anyone build their own?

 

What kind of Donkey Knocker is that?

 

2002 Sport Edition

 

That looks like a fun ride... I just picked up a runner am lookin to do dress her up a bit any tips and or help out there? looking for a the best option for a lift on a 2WD SR5 V.6 I am turning her into an urban assault vehicle O YA! would love some advice and help ...another newbi..

 

for the smoke smell i've heard there is something called an "ionizer" that you plug in and stick in the car overnight that sucks all the cigarette stuff out of the upholstery, but at the dealerships i worked at they were expensive and we never got one. i also used a product called "UltraShield" that did a pretty good job of eliminating odors. it had some enzymes in it or something that supposedly ate the bad smell causing stuff, didn't totally eliminate it but did a better job than anything else i used. a good detailing will help get that dried smoke off the plastic panels and windows, shampooing is always a good idea, and don't forget the headliner. smoke is the worst thing to try and get out, next to dog hair.

i'd comment on your ride but cardomain doesn't seem to want to bring it up. i'll try later, but welcome to the runner family!

 

.50 cal gun turret on top would be my suggestion
