@@sapclan2896 thank you! That was exactly my intent with it. I didn’t want to disturb the body lines and design that, in my opinion, Toyota got perfect. But I still wanted to tap into the capability side while keeping that. Sort of a “sleeper” off-road build. Good luck with the 99, enjoy!

Nice 4Runner! That might be the cleanest 3rd gen I've ever seen. I have a 2000 4Runner with 230K that has been in the family since new. It has been well maintained, but not as clean as yours. Drove it to CO from KY last summer and took it over Engineer pass and Imogene pass with out any issues. It climbed over everything in it's path. Great vehicles!

Be easy Champ. Am next door to you, Georgia. You got me subscribed and motivated to keep my 99 looking Clean and OEM

[@4funner66]

Thank you, Malik! This means a lot to me. I also pray that my kids can enjoy this truck loooong into the future. They are already familiar with camping trips and off-road trips with it. As long as I can preserve it, the bones of the truck should last forever theoretically :)

[@freedom0855]

Sweet build! Brings back memories of my ‘99 4Runner SR5 - same color inside and out. Looked just like yours. Put the Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift on it with 285/75/16 tires. Had it from ‘05-‘15 and lived out of it during the week for 4 semesters in college a couple hours from home. Didn’t want to pay rent so removed the rear seats and a blowup mattress fit perfect. Slept in it Mon-Fri and went home for the weekends. Had to sell it for a down pymt on a house. Have had a ‘79 Toyota 4x4 and a ‘99 Tacoma TRD Off-road since but really liked the balance of the 4Runner and flex of the rear 5-link axle. Was going to suspension lift the Tacoma but the frame rust was out of control, so sold the truck. Miss the 4Runner though. Really like your ABS mod and e-locker install. That’s a keeper!

[@nathanr25]

That truck is SUPER clean! That's the cleanest 4runner I have EVER SEEN!!! I'm runnin a 97 4runner SR5 4x4 with 180k miles! Yours is way cleaner! I have done a bit of work to mine but really minor things compared to this. Replaced the gold badges on it because they were corroded to the silver badges, repainted the lift gate trim near the latch, got a different hitch from the junk yard and completely refurbished it, got TRD off road tacoma wheels, new center console lid, new lights for my climate controls, installed an OEM roof-rack, installed an OEM spoiler, and did a little rust clean and touch up OEM paint work to that rust on the lift gate. My truck has a major OEM chrome and black theme to it thanks to the trim and trd wheels and I LOVE IT!

[@professoraregbesola3490]

[@kkainaluu808]

Bra this is a clear runner, I have a 2000 millennium silver with the blue interior as well. I couple things u should look into is the Solo Motorsport’s stock length boxed LCAs. There pretty much stock geometry except the lower ball joint hole is pushed forward about 1” for more clearance and also has extra armor around the lower ball joint nut. And for the exhaust I highly recommend the cat back magnaflow overland series exhaust system, sounds really good and has absolutely no drone.

[@4funner66]

Thanks man! I looked at the Solo stock length arms! Pheeew they’re pricy. I just did whiteline bushings and eimKeith reinforcements welded onto my factory ones. Would be nice to get more caster capabilities though. As for exhaust, I’m leaving it for now since I plan to buy a 1UZ V8 to build up soon! This time next year or so, I expect it might be under the knife, so I’ll probably have to do something custom for the exhaust there

[@kkainaluu808]

@@4funner66 yeah the LCAs are a Bit pricey. Between those and my SPC UCAs set 2 notches forwarded pushing the spindle flowered I would say the front wheels have moved forward at least 1” 1/4. Choke room now. If I was gonna do v8 swap the flow master super 50 series would be my muffler choice. That muffler keeps that sound of a v6 but is able to handle a v8 well. I have a friend will a 4th gen v8 with that muffler and it’s 👌🏽

Thanks!! I looked for months to find 1st gen taco hubs, and couldn’t ever get lucky enough. Finally broke down and decided to go 100% new on everything. Thankfully you can still buy the oem Aisin hubs and all of the associated parts new. Finding a used Tacoma for parts is the budget way to go, but after a year of looking around locally, I just got impatient lol

Very nice truck, one of the best out there that I have seen! Random question: Where on earth did you happen to find a Toyota center cap for a 16in. steel rim that you have in the back? Assuming that is a center cap and not just part of the mount... thanks!

[@4funner66]

Thank you! That is actually a new-old-stock FJ80 rear center cap. eBay find. It “fits” onto the spare, just for looks. It would sling off if used at highway speeds, just not made to fit these tundra steel wheels well

[@georgepadilla6697]

If I want a set of these steelies, where can I buy a set? This is the exact rim I've been searching for in 16in

How is the stance with the tundra wheels as compared to stock? Is there a greater offset or are they comparable?

[@4funner66]

Same offset as stock! Works really well

Part number for the airaid intake tube? Amazing 4Runner !goes without saying

[@4funner66]

airaid 510-934. A little expensive for what it is. Lucked out and found mine in the junkyard of all places. My original rubber couplers were cracking so decided to simplify things with the tube

@@4funner66 sure is a little spendy I might just cobble together something myself and call it good enough thanks for the info though !

Awesome Runner! How have the jk 2.5" coils treated you? I'm looking to replace my 890s as I've added a steel bumper with spare swingout and 35" spare. Thanks in advance for your reply!

[@4funner66]

The JK 2.5” lift coils are great for stock weight. They are very soft, and wouldn’t do well at all for your bumper and 35” spare. I’d recommend Landcruiser 7.5 wrap springs for that. They are the exact same ride height as the 2.5 JK Springs, but will actually handle the weight you have. You can even still get them new, too. Part # 48131-6A570 (x2). You can use an OME 10mm trim packer on the driver side to make the lean go away. :)

@@4funner66 Thanks for the quick and concise reply! Glad those JK could are working out for you. I think I’ll go with the LC coils. You think these are the better option over 891’s?
