Hey Everyone, I know told a few people on here that I'd post pics of my new girl so here they are. She's a 99 Highlander that I bought for 6500 with 139k with a 2" Body lift and 2" suspension lift. Came with big 33 inch tires that were horribly unbalanced and were illegal to have on without larger fender flares. I took those off and put on the stock tires (If anyone in the SLC area is interested in some nice big tires PM me)

Here's what I've done so far:
Replace the rear shocks as one had broken and was flopping around. (Thank God for a Sawsall)
Ordered new sway bar links, one was sheared in half
Took out the Pioneer AVIC-D3 stereo and bought an FH-P8000BT

Here's what I'm planning on doing to it so far:
Get a new valance (the guy had to cut into it to make the 33's fit without rubbing(which it did anyway))
Replace the brakes, maybe with Tundra ones if I can find them
Replace the front shocks
Remove the Body Lift (I dont like the look of it and it's too high for my wife to get in)
Put on running boards if I can find any (even without the body lift its still a bit too high for my mom to get in)
I'd love to get a JAOS Spoiler if I could convince my wife to let me buy one.

Any other suggestions?

 

haha wow this sounds like a typical new 4runner thread, but you want to do the opposite of everyone else. haha most people would be saving up to put a lift and tires on their runner.

sweet rig man youre gonna love it.

you should sell me your body lift. hehe

Nice score. Are you up in Logan?

I'd skip the running boards and the jaos spoiler. One off-road trip and they'd be all tore up anyway. Save up for some proper rock sliders and good shocks/springs all around.

 

I have a set of 2000 running boards. They are silver, but could be painted. I am just north of Denver though. $75 if you pick them up.

 

Matt: Yeah when I upgrade these tires I might go a little bigger but this is my DD so I want it to be really street friendly, I wont be getting off road nearly enough to warrant huge tires and lift, and for now none of my offroading will be really hardcore. About the lift though once I get it off I'll see what condition it's in and I'm sure we can work something out.

No I'm not in Logan anymore I'm down in SLC, I went to school in Logan and I had to get plates to show my Aggie Pride and also to anger my wife who went to the U.

Scotty, I have a friend that frequently goes to Denver so I'll see when he's going next.

 

thanks GLittler, just send me a message when its off.
