    Hey everyone!

    I'm looking for an affordable, modifiable 4x4/2x4 - love the 4runners. Looking like the 2013->2015 4Runner SR5/TRD is the one for me.

    Considering upgrades:

    - Roof rack
    - All terrain wheels & tyres
    - Front grill upgrade to TRD pro grill
    - Replacing LCDs with LEDs interior
    - Rear ladder
    - All terrain mats
    - Head unit upgrade
    - Shift stick upgrade
    - Rain deflectors

    Not really a clue what I'm doing but want to build out a car that's ready for adventure any weekend, is fun and reliable to drive & that I can learn about, fix and work on!

    Looking forward to sharing progress, asking questions, having fun and learning about 4runner mods here! Nice to meet you all.
