What to do with 94 4runner?

I have a 94 3.0L V6 SR5 AT 4x4 31's that is completely stock. It has at least 4.56 gears and I'm not sure if it has an LSD.

I was wondering what mods I should do to it?

I don't want anymore lift then I need to fit 33's (12.5, 13.5, 14.5, or 15.5).
I definately want a winch w/bumper, LSD, headers, full exhaust, and a cold air intake (K&N).

Basically I just want to know brands

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

O ya I'm on a $4000 dollar budget.

Not to be to mean, but if you do a little SEARCHING using the yellow SEARCH button at the top of the screen, then you won't have to deal with people telling you to use the SEARCH button.

Plus by searching it cuts down on the loads of threads with the same info and keeps the results to a minimum.

what i would do/have done

1.5" ball spacers up front.

1.5" OME coils rear

OME shocks all the way around

ARB warn combo or custom jober
Downey/NWOR headers
local exaust shop will be just as good and cheeper
K&N kit (if you want it)

Strap22 (local boad peep) with TRDparts4u.com has good some good kits already put together and good prices.

For more specifics on the above i suggest you search. Theres tons out there

Lots of info on this site. Do a search for the lc coils, bj spacer lift. It's a perfect lift to accomodate 33's.

What mods depend on what you're going to do with it...I assume you want a winch for off road use not to "look cool"... so:

Armor. In addition to the winch bumper, you need rock sliders and a rear bumper.

Go with 33x10.50 and take the money you save by not needing a lift and put it in locking diffs. If you are in the USA, it is EXTREMELY unlikely your truck came with LSD's (as in I've never heard mention of a single one on here).

Headers are a really good idea for the 3.0, not only from a performance standpoint but a reliability standpoint too.

I would skip the cold air intake if you're going to 'wheel the truck. It greatly increases the chance of injesting water into the engine, and the performance gain on the 3.0 is minimal at best. You might look into the ISR mod though. Or a snorkel.

I second the recommendation for Phil at TRDPARTS4U (Toyota of Dallas)

Thx so far guys keep it coming. by the way I ordered a TrueTrac LSD this morning.
I also am probably gonna get a M8000 winch from Mile Marker. hey snap-on i dont see any ball spacers on OME web. also how much would the OME stuff cost. also im gonna make my own winch bumper ARB is to expensive.

Also I failed to mention I am going to be doing a lot of mediocre level mudding.

OME does not make the bj spacers. SDORI does. You can get them from phil at trdparts4u.com or Roger at 4crawler.com
