Aloha,

Hey guys, I have owned two 1997 4Runners over the past few months, I was in Oahu Hawaii and moved to SoCal and purchased another one here. The one in Hawaii I moded with mostly show things (i.e. LED interior, sounds, alarm, head units, etc etc). It was a lot of fun and right when I was about to start working on other mods, I had to move and am now here in SoCal with another 97' Runner.

So this time around, I decided to do some other things before the fancy just for show things. I am just getting started, but I wanted to start this thread for all those who are not mechanics, like myself and want to see that it can be done by someone who just does their reading on writeups in YotaTech and common sense. You can do it!!

I bought my 1997 4Runner SR5 in the beginning of August for only $4000 with only 98,000K on it!! Bottom line, SICK DEAL!!

Things I wanted to do, that I have done so far (mostly upgardes from 1st fleet (to copy Ritzy4Runner) to the 2nd fleet things. I found most these parts at the boneyard, but quite a few from this lady I bartered with near my house. I took off her bumpers and rear hatch and she let me have free take at everything else!

So I have gotten a roof rack, headlights, tail lights, grille and did the Taco Whip mod (I think haha). Here are a few pics and I am stoked with how everything is looking. And and one of my stickers "Jahloha". For those who don't know, but "Jah" is God in Jamaican and "aloha or loha" in Hawaiian is love or hello or a few other meaning. But in life its all about God's love or loving God, or like my sticker "Jahloha"

Let me know what you guys think of the few upgrades, I love them!!
