KentSC's build thread need suggestions

This is my first car I have ever owned, I just wanted to see what you guys thought and what else yall think I should do. I haven't done too much but this is a list the stuff I have done so far.
- plastidipped all emblems and grille black
-hand painted front badge white to match the body
-2.5 inch revtec spacer lift
-16 inch pro comp wheels
-285 75 16 Firestone Destination MT tires
-For tint I have two wraps of 5% and a wrap of 20%. The windshield has a layer of 35%
-Kenwood 252 head unit
-Removed Running boards
-Removed front fender flares. One was ripped off so I just took the other one off to match.
-Removed mudflaps

I had a 83 chevette for my high school ride so looks pretty good to me fix the front first, and enjoy not much else to do on a budget, everything else starts getting expensive.

Might post pics on here to see, links might not get viewed as much

Welcome!!!!!

Welcome to yotatech! I remember my truck, it's a pretty awesome feeling. My old man is coming out in me and I'll say the first thing todo is all the regular maintenance. Oil change, spark plugs and wires, air filter, fuel filter, transmission and diff fluid change. It's something ive always done first thing with everything truck I've owned.

For anybody to give you advice on your build you need to first tell us what your basic plans are. Is it just a DD or do you plan on wheeling it or both. There are tons of great build threads on here check them out as well you can get a lot of great ideas that way(and do a lot of dreaming).
The third gen 4runner is a great platform to build from, you just have to decide what you want and then slowly head that direction. There are a lot of great people on this board that can and will help you along the way.
nice pics by the way keep them coming
