What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Yeah, I hear you. It's bad enough for my back to be lifting 60lb sacks of concrete all over the place, the last thing I want is to heft a 70 lb donut on a trail somewhere. Yet, I need to as I have plans for the spare tire space. I do have a second swing arm and deciding if/when to install should I need to carry a jerry can (or two) but honestly I've never been deep enough into the backcountry to have a need to carry extra fuel.

 

Got the trim pieces painted. Will get that headliner recovered when i find a fabric i like.

 

I did a double take when I looked at your pic., "wait, whaat?" I like where you're going with this!

 

Bilstein shocks, bump stops and Eibach springs in the rear.

 

This is something I have thought about doing. I've thought about it a lot, actually. I want to "Black Out" the interior - which means doing the headliner and plastic parts.

How much time/effort/money did you spend on painting the plastic parts?

 

Man, I’d love to have the headliner and upper trim be black instead of that light tan or whatever it is.
