1994 4 Runner SR5
Auto 3.0 V6
131K miles

This is how it looked the day after I brought it home..pretty ugly but it ran great with relatively low miles for a 94 so it was good enough for what I had in mind.





My first few mods was to remove the running boards and put a smalll lift on. I ended up going with BJ spacers, 1" diff drop and swaybar spacer from Roger Brown at 4crawler offroad for the front and did LC coils in the rear with a panhard drop bracket from Roger as well.

Pics after the lift but before the wheels and tires (no I didn't drive it like this)




I had a hard time deciding on wheels and tires but went with 16x7 Cragar Soft 8's from Summit Racing and the Maxxis Bighorn in a 285/75/16 for tires. So far I am very happy with the combo.





Removed the ugly SR5 stripes, painted the hood with Rust-Oleum bedliner (works great), added a Yakima Loadwarrior and 4 Hella 500FF lights to the top...







The next and final (so far) list of mods all went down in about a week in the shop so there aren't many pics in between. Oh yeah and the ***denotes my favorite mod so far...

Custom front bumper
Smittybuilt XRC10 comp. winch with synthetic rope and alum. fairlead
Custom sliders
Painted rear bumper and rockers
Added more lights to bumper and rack
Installed an extension on the Loadwarrior to make it look more at home on the Runner
Cobra 19DX CB w/4ft. Firestik (ashtray mod)
***Installed Aussie locker in rear***


Here is a collection of pics after the above mods were complete. This is how it sits today and I will update as things progress.











Pics of the bumper and sliders...












Random..
















Fabbed up a light bar so I could lower the lights from the top of the rack..
