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!

How was CK on a Friday? That trail has become so crowded lately.

It was actually from Wednesday for that exact reason! Last time I tried it on a weekend it was chaos!

With the rear axle swap and LT front, did you do anything for the rear suspension, or just the lift you had on it from before?

Looks good!
