So, what exactly do you expect people to say to do to it with your awesoem budget to work with? Wash it?

You have no money, you cant afford to own it in reality. Sell it and buy something you can afford to own.

why dont u focus on actually saving a little bit of money up so when you do go 4wding you have money for fuel and when sh!t brakes you can fix it? no point spending all your 0 dollars on mods and not have any of that money left over to go driving

Can't tell from the photo what you've done so far other than tyres and some lift... what have you already got checked off the list?

I think for harder stuff you have already bought the wrong tyres.

drive it. Why do you think you have to mod it? What have you found it to be bad at? What doesn't it do that you want it to do better?

Seriously you really need to get out there and drive it and figure out what it does well and what it doesn't do well and then mod it to fix the problems.

Another option would be sell the illegally large tyres and use the money to buy some better offroad tyres.

I'd go front & rear bars and sliders when you can afford it then maybe a winch it will get you out of more sh#@ than lockers they will just sink it. IMHO.

That's a nice looking 4 runner.

Bar and winch, front auto locker to start with.

reminds me of mine when I got it,

Looked like this when I got it,

Looks like this now only with a V8 in it and SAS in progress

There's heaps you can do, what sort of driving do you want to do with the runner?

Cheers
