Default Benedict's 4runner

I got my 4runner in july it was pretty ugly and beat up when I got it. Picked it up for $1500 with about 158000 miles on it. Needed new tires (Hercules A/T's 265/70/16) and all the fluids changed. Here's a pic of around the time I got it. (very ugly)



I had some stuff I transferred over from my last rig (blazer) most stuff didn't fit but roof basket and lights I could salvage. Removed the running boards as well.(I hate running boards) This is the first time I've had it off road.





I'm a bit of a stereo nut and I had to put a system in it. Don't currently have any pictures of it yet I'm still trying to make the amp rack and sub box look nice. as for the specs I have polk mm component speakers in the doors and a 10" polk sr sub in the back. Both of my amps are ssl. I have the apline ida-x305s works great with my iphone. I also have a cobra 19 cb radio and a 8' whip coming off my rear bumper. Then I picked up some wheels off of craigslist I think they are cragars not 100% sure. 16x8's they were on some old chevy I think.



I also hate two tones and white and silver are just gross together I think... So I decided to paint it and paint the wheels black. I think it looks much better.
Here are the most recent pics I took just tonight.













I plan on lifting it someday, kinda limited budget I'm a junior in college. I'm debating whether I want some off roading bumpers or just replace my stock ones. The front bumper is all messed up and the rear is rusty. There much more to come probably a lot of little things right now. I'd like to get some seat covers and weathertech mats, maybe a power programmer for now.

my blazer may have died but my obsession with 4x4's hasn't lol hope you guys aren't too mad I no longer have an american brand...

Sad to see the blazer go. It was a great looking truck man! But def do some offroad bumpers on the yota would look way better in my opinion. and yeah those def look like cragar nomads.

Nice! Not sure about going all white on the body since I love a good two-tone (black would have looked good, IMHO) but otherwise nice rig so far!

When you first said you were getting a 4 Runner I was like no, but I really like what you have done so far to it. Good luck and I also hope you get to keep the Blazer.
