First time Toyota owner....how am I doing so far?

Hey everyone

I work on Navy ships and I'm currently at a school in Florida till next week. I'm doing my level best to make some progress with my first ever Toyota.....a new 2023 TRD-Offroad Premium.

For the most part I've only ever owned Chevy Silverado's, Blazer's and Suburbans since about the 1980's. I have however lusted for a 4Runner for several years now and figured I better get one now before they redesign with a CANBUS controlled version.

I pick up my Magnetic Grey TRD Off-Road Premium next Wed (29 Apr 2023). I've already spent about 20k on most of the parts for this project but there will be a bit more to go after I install what I've got on the way. Here is a list of the stuff I've already ordered which will all arrive before or just after I get home with the exception of item 1 that will take about two weeks to arrive.

1. Magnuson Supercharger (Rufus at Magnuson was exceptional to work with)
2. CSF Aluminum performance radiator (Increased cooling/capacity)
3. Eibach Pro-Truck Series 2R (the kit with rear resevoirs)
4. Banks Pedal Monster
5. SCS RAY10 Flat Dark Bronze wheels (5) (17x8.5 with -10 offset)
6. Falken AT3 (285/70/17)
7. Body mount chop kit (likely not needed with the mild offset...just extra insurance)
8. TRD Pro style grill
9. TRD Pro front Skid Plate
10. TRD Pro roof rack (I just like the look/size and use a small trailer camping)
11. Aftermarket tail lights and other stuff

I'll be getting a few things later this summer.

1. Either Rigd Ultraswing or Wescott Design Tire Carrier
2. C4 Fab Lo-Pro winch bumper
3. Kick out Rock Sliders

I'm sure there will be more I want to do but this will be enough to get me started....lol, actually it will be the majority of this build.

Cheers,
Rob

 

Welcome and looks like you are doing just fine!

 

welcome

 

Man, Congratulations on your 4Runner. You seem to have a strong build laid out before you.

Keep us updated!

 

Thanks! Yeah, I'm throwing a bunch of coin at it but I'm 57 and this has been on my bucket list for a while to do a project like this...I won't live forever

 

Add some pictures if you can. It would give other members ideas and experience with the products you chose. Looks like a wonder build.

 

I will for sure. I'll do a build thread with everything I listed. I'm not a "content" professional but I can def show pics of the process and likely a couple very amateur youtube video links. It will all be done by me so you can all share my pain/joy throughout the knuckle busting, lol.

Here's the first pick the dealer sent me. Maybe I'll be able to sell the wheels and tires, side steps and roof rack?

 

Welcome
