Hello Expo folks!
I'm new to trucks, but not new to being offroad (lotsa mountain bikes, 1150gs with 107,000 miles). Super stoked! Previous rigs include a '93 Eurovan Weekender that we took a lot of places where we shouldn't have. Can't believe that thing made it through some of the terrain we threw at it.
Our new 4Runner TEP has about 400 miles on the clock. Time to start the build!
Goals/ideas for the build include:
- augment the vehicle so we can be comfortable for extended off road romps around Cascadia...and beyond.
- don't sacrifice reliability with any mod. simple = good.
- keep the body intact. no fender cutting or body mount chopping for now.
- no big loads on the roof
- have fun and get rad
Stock
Icon Stage 1+, MetalTech sliders
Work done by MetalTech. I didn't get to take the truck in, but the report from the missus was 100% positive.
Next up:
- Cooper Discoverer 275/70/17
- Frontrunner Slimline II
