| Video Discription | A couple years ago, I sold my 2002 4Runner SR5 and I regretted it almost immediately. Ever since then, I've been searching for an inexpensive replacement, preferably with a factory e-locker. After MONTHS of searching, I finally found a deal. I'm extremely excited for this one, guys. The first video on this channel is an overview of the condition of the 4runner and my game plan for the future. Phase 1: Urgent Repairs - Engine is running rough. Definitely has a misfire. - Brakes are completely shot. Not safe to drive. - Turns out the check engine bulb is out. With a truck this old and this rough, the check engine light is a must have. Phase 2: Deep Clean - First of all, this thing STINKS. And there are pubes everywhere. - I think it's important to do the first detail yourself if you're buying an older vehicle like this one. It gives you the opportunity to go over every inch inside and out so you are aware of all the problem areas that need to be addressed. - The frame isn't bad but it needs some work. A little elbow grease and Eastwood Rust Encapsulator should do the trick. Phase 3: Maintenance Baseline - This truck is old and it has 270,000 miles. It needs a timing belt and water pump. All fluids need to be replaced including brake fluid, oil (and filter), differential fluid, transfer case fluid, transmission fluid, the whole 9. - I'll take a look at other problem areas including ball joints, driveshaft u-joints, CV axles, etc. - The exhaust is trash. It's been frankensteined together and it needs to be replaced. It sounds terrible, smells awful. It's gotta go. Phase 4: Cosmetics - I want this truck to function as close to new as possible, but I don't want to ignore looks and comfort. - The front bumper needs to be swapped out for something color matched, or possibly an aftermarket option if the opportunity presents itself (yay Facebook marketplace) - The front seats are in rough condition and my butt sinks to the floor - All the door seals are torn apart and need to be replaced - The paint is ROUGH and it's impossible to miss. I think I can manage a DIY paint correction. - There are a lot of little things that I think can be easily addressed with a couple trips to the junk yard. - New rocker panels need to be welded in place and the old rusted ones need to be cut out. Phase 5: Upgrades - LEDs are a big one (might do that when I replace the check engine light) - New suspension means a lift. - A lift means bigger tires. - Tundra brake upgrade for more stopping power to account for the added weight of all the overlanding goodies. - Head unit and speakers are originals. They need to goooo! It'll make a huge difference during the many hours on the highway before you get to the trailhead. There is a TON more that I didn't list here.
