Well, just before the purchase of my "new to me" 2000 4Runner 2 weeks ago, I was surfing this site to get info on the truck I wanted....I found a beauty....a 2000 4WD 4Runner with only 60,000 miles on it (snow birds from IL, spent winters here in AZ).

The 1st pic is the day I brought it home.

The 2nd is after removing the running boards, mudflaps and fender trim.

The 3rd.....Oh the 3rd, was taken tonight after I was hit by a Dodge Ram that ran a red light (Just Fantastic).

So Monday the 20th I go get the estimate for the (of course...ladie's) insurance. I am going to my buddy who run's a bodyshop here in town.

My buildup questions is: Obviously I have an oppurtunity to make a few mods to the vehicle. What should I be looking at trying to upgrade or change on the vehicle as I go through this process. Just looking to see where you guys would start.

Thanks.

 

The estimate from the driver at fault's insurance was $4252.00. I'll keep you posted once I get it to my boy's bodyshop.

 

welcome to yotatech! well the variations of options you have are endless. i guess it depends on what you wanna do with your 4runner and your budget. id say search around and just looks at what other people have done that you like and search some more and then do it!

 

Well, finally got the check from Allstate for $4300.00. Dropped it off at the bodyshop last night. They are going to do the core support back and I will handle the grill, lights, front bumper etc. I am having the "sport" hood installed instead of the stock one. We had a huge hail storm out here in AZ so the shops are backed up. Probably be about 3-4 weeks. Later.

 

When I first read this thread and saw the carnage, my immediate thought was a sport hood. Nice choice, hope the body work turns out well.

 

And it's finally home. Time to get the bumper ordered and start bolting on some parts.

 

All of the bolt on stuff is done. Ordered the Shrockworks bumper last week so it will be a bit before I get any new pics. Later all.

 

Well, finally done with all of the repairs from the accident including the Shrockworks front bumper.

I'm thinking of doing the snorkel next, any ideas of what brand to go with?

 

Nice rig how much did the bumper and hood set you back looking to do the same to my rig
