5th gen T4R build. Ditched Jeep after 26yrs!

[jeepman]

This will be a slow build as I am switching from four wheeling to overlanding and changing platforms. I have been a die hard Jeep guy for 26 years and worked as a Jeep master tech for 16 of them. I will be documenting along the way and appreciate any input as I am new to Toyota. That said here is my start. A clean 2010 Limited that I was lucky enough to get a deal on. One owner and all maintenance performed at the dealer.

Welcome to the Toyota family!

Very nice!

Sad to have one leave the jeep family LOL. This should be a good build by the sounds of things. I almost considered getting rid of mine this year for something a little more comfortable and better on fuel but I just can't bring myself to do it LOL.

Congrats on your purchase! When my second kid was born I test drove several 4 runners and 4 door jks but I just can’t seem to let go of my TJ. Maybe one day I’ll grow up and make logical decisions lol.

It's probably pretty smart to hold onto the last real Jeep, Jeep ever made.

Idk about the screen name. I still make money repairing and accessories on Jeeps. Never ending supply of broken ones! Lol

Wow, that's a super-pretty rig to start with! Off-topic, but any advice for me before I dive into the timing set and hydraulic lash adjusters in my 4.7 HO (long-story, but I was going to just replace a radiator and then... and then... and then...)? The thread is here if you have any thoughts or advice as a Jeep Master Tech: 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Build

Cant wait to see the progress.
4runner was my 2nd choice for a vehicle.

 

[jeepman]

First step is to ditch the running boards and front valence!

 

[jeepman]

So I’m almost a year in and have made some progress. Stiil a ways to go. Ditched the running boards, VOR wheels and 33” M/T’s, 3” Old Man Emu/Bilstein lift, Victory rear bumper w/ tire carrier, and 3rd row delete!

 

[MegaBug]

Coming along nicely! I'm in the middle of planning my own T4R overland build and your choices are quite helpful.

Looks good, Limited has a few interior bells and whistles the rest of us are envious of.

 

[rblumenthal]

Looking good! I am slowly starting to add stuff to my '17 SR5P. Just need to get the wife onboard.... our 2 boys (3 and 5) see pictures of people out exploring and want to go do it!

Looks good! Any more updates?
