Prelander V8 4Runner

[AzPrelander]

Started with a stock 03 4runner to enter the Toyota world

Then did what we all do first and got new wheels




After some time I went the overland build path and got a 2.5 lift with 33” tires

I've been on the hunt for a clean lowish miles 4th gen V8 too. I like the look of the stock trimmed fenders with LT. Looks great.

Yeah man there are getting harder to come by! Luckily I found this one that spent its whole life in Az so no rust and only 118k when I (actually my wife) found it!

Yeh built it years ago but let it go years ago when I bought to 4runner.

Rotax motor swap and custom long travel!
