New to YT and my 2002

Hey everyone, I finally bit the bullet and decided to join YT as well as be a member of t4r.org. I love this site! I can't wait to get more money in my pockets to throw onto the rig, but I look forward to coming to this site a lot and being able to discuss and share with other owners.

My current 4Runner is a 2002 Limited. My parents bought it new back in late 2001, right before the 4th generation was released. It was a second car for my mom, since she needed something to haul around real estate signs (she is a Realtor) without banging up her car (2002 CL500 at the time) I love this truck (had a 1996 SR5 before this one) but I am stupid and never save up my money enough to really do what I want with my 4Runner. I also have to put a lot of money into my other hobby, auto-crossing my 2007 RDX. But here is what I am saving up for for a Christmas present to myself:

ARB Tacoma bull bar
IPF or PIAA fogs
OME lift (not sure on spacers or coils or what at this point, looking for suggestions/input)

This is what I started out with essentially

More pics of the mud flaps and running board delete soon. I know much hasn't been done cosmetically, but I just don't have recent pics as of yet. Bull bar/fog lights, ISR removal mod and lift coming shortly after

Here's the most recent update, mud flaps on, boards off, ISR mod revisited (and completed), removed racks and DRL mod

Did the grill mod today, also took out the baffles for the horn. Sounds SO much louder now:banger:

Here's a daytime picture of the grille:

I'm working on the rest of the badges now, and my Hella DE's and TRD badge are coming in the mail either today or tomorrow

Next up will be clear corners

Got the badges repainted - next up is to throw in the Hella DE's once it gets warmer outside

Painted some underbody parts with Krylon flat black. Also painted the front "scoop" area around the license plate. I already got rid of the overspray in the right lower corner. I'll get some more pics up later of the skid plates I also painted, as well as the trailing arms.

Got my OME lift installed. Next up is on the install list is clear corners/ bumpers, LED tail lights and Hella 500's.

A few members from T4R.ORG got together, here's everyone (almost) standing in front of their trucks. First pics with the 33's installed. Gotta upgrade my rear springs :(

Got the front windows tinted again, they were at 50% but had em matched to the backs (20%)

Still need to order some trim packers for the rear springs, but she's getting there
