I sold my '94 pickup and I am starting all over again with this 2000 4Runner. So far I fixed a broken power antenna, replaced all the fluids with synthetic, added a Yakima roof rack and detailed the inside and out. Today was the first time the drill bit met the 4Runner and boy did it feel good.

aka "deckplate mod"








the truck:


I will be doing some electrical modifications in the coming months including footwell lighting, exterior lighting, a distribution block to feed electrical accessories, a power inverter and a couple of other things. The fun stuff will come next spring--rock sliders and most likely a Performance Products lift with Bilstein shocks. Luckily this one already has the e-locker.

Tomorrow I am picking up a set of Limited 5-spoke alloys. Supra fever is over for a bit; now it's time for the 4Runner to have some fun... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well??? Impressions? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Placebo effect says it works! It seems like the truck is a little more responsive and seems to pull a little better from all RPMs, but I'm so used to the car that it's really hard to know if the 4Runner is actually quicker. I do the like the throaty intake sound though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
