JSav's 4runner TRD Pro Build and Adventures (New England)

September 2016: I bought a new Magnetic Gray 4runner TRD Pro. I am located in the New England area and I'm a huge Boston Bruins fan. I love how the TRD Pro is at stock, it’s a beautiful mean machine. It's a great hobby so I have installed few mods and will install more later on.

I used social medias to follow others and learn more about this rugged SUV.
- Instagram followers: My IG is giuseippe
- Facebook group: 4runner TRD PRO
- The 2 4runner forums: 4runners.com (BruiserRunner) and T4R.org (joeysav)


This is a fun project for me so here’s what I have done so far!

Modifications installed:
- Air on board switches
- Amber marker lights
- Rear emblem plasti-dipped
- Tinted fog lights
- Brighter interior lights
- Gobi Stealth roof rack
- ARB Awning 2500x2000


Planned modifications:
- Toytec TRD Pro 2" lift kit: Is there anything else I need to get for this lift? The alignments?
- 285/70r17 tires: When my tires wear out, I will go bigger and get either BF Goodrich KO2 or Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Which one would you recommend??
- Wheel Spacers: Spidertrax S2PWHS007 1.25" blue
- Sliders(running boards): Debating on the N-FAB Bars or the C4FAB Bars. Which one would you recommend??
- LED light bar: Will install one shortly, not in a rush for this one.
- Headlights: Halo trim lights would be cool, I will wait on it and see what the custom headlights will look like when they come out. If nothing looks good then I will retrofit the headlights the way I want it to be.
- TRD Air intake: Would like to add more power to the engine
- Flowmaster/Magnaflow: I’m going to need help with this as I don’t know a lot about it. I would like to have a nice loud noise to it. Not too loud.



Anything else I could do?? If you have any recommendations and/or opinions on any one of these mods, that would also be nice. I love learning and of course, make this 4runner a beautiful build.

Brighter interior lights

I replaced the stock warm white interior lights with brighter LEDs. I used the Yorkim brand and they now look way better.
