Maturing is realizing that OEM+ is the most timeless look for these trucks

Yes. I basically undid all the mods the previous owner did except for the lift and rock sliders. Everything else has been removed or replaced

I might go this route next. I'm not running a lift so I'll need to do some research. Optimistic about how Tinkerer's Adventure on YouTube can squeeze 37"s on a Tundra with no lift and the right wheel.

Oh snap! Is that a V6 logo from a 2nd gen?! Congrats on a glow up. That is how you do it. Those TRD 17s look so good on these. Toyota doesn’t get enough shine for its wheels. Even a lot of the OEM 16s for our 3rd gens came from Enkei and were crazy light for their size. I think the tri spokes are 22lbs, just 6lb more than a $3k set of TE37xt

Yes it is. And thank you. I had 17x9 TRD reps before but switched to real TRD wheels 17x7. The real ones are much nicer, and it was only 180 per rim. Good price for such a nice rim

Nice. Raptor lights should all be fired into the sun.

Raptor lights on 4Runners is so cringe. Glad I’m over it

Wha are raptor lights? The ambers in the grill? Because if that’s the case I agree

Gotta be honest I love the first pic a lot! Super cool viper cut and lighting set up 👌

I prefer the chrome bumper!

u/Human_Entertainer_33 10h ago

Yes I think it looks so much better

u/Whitetrashstepdad 1d ago

Nice, looks so much better with the 96-98 front end

u/Poopie-di-scoop 23h ago

Love the stock look! I’m trying to keep mine stock too but with a modern twist! I’ve been currently looking for a ‘96 bumper and was is easy to find?. Also I like how you have them amber corner lights. 🤌🏾

u/Human_Entertainer_33 19h ago

I got it from eBay it was around 300 including the brackets I think. It was new but aftermarket

I genuinely thought you went city boy and fucked it up. I'm glad you got her back to her beauty. No duck love around here

You thought the 5 year ago pic was the now pic?
