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!

My man, that is one clean 3rd gen. I bought mine in '18 and have been scheming/buying parts ever since. Nice to see similar products (4th gen 5160's, eimkeith products) look so damn good installed.

@@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.

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!

I agree, this is T.H.E C.L.E.A.N.E.S.T 4 Runner. I Love the OEM LOOK. I pray this truck will serve you well and may your kids grow up to appreciate it, inherit it, treasure it and enjoy it. Be easy Champ. Am next door to you, Georgia. You got me subscribed and motivated to keep my 99 looking Clean and OEM

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

2 жыл бұрын

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
