    Hello everyone, I've recently purchased my first 4Runner (2005) which is also my first Toyota. I'm planning on doing some mods but nothing too glaring as I prefer to improve what's behind the curtain as opposed to just making the curtain prettier. My first task is to have a local mechanic I know go over the vehicle from top to bottom to find any deficiencies that need to be addressed immediately and then go from there. I'm sure I'll end up asking the group for advice regarding such things as mod and brand choice and look forward to learning a lot here.

    Well, the mechanic went over it and said that although it's in good shape overall, there were a few things that needed attention - front sway bar links & bushings, left front strut & bushings. Regarding the strut assembly, I am planning on going with a Duralast LS53-90411 unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't. I was also considering replacing the right side at the same time so they performed and aged equally. I haven't looked into the sway bar issue yet and am interested in hearing what anyone might have to say about brands or whatnot.
