POLL: MOD $$ SPENT

I’ve only owned my 4runner a year lol but considering that 8k included buying the rig, I can’t complain.

 

I got about $8,500 in mods for 2018 so far. It adds up fast. It doesn't help looking up other people's builds

 

What year runner did you have?

 

I invested zero.

I dumped about $6k in it though

 

Yeah... I’m somewhere around $2,800 with another $1,800 to go... and I’m not even doing anything near as big as a lot of you guys are!!!

 

Poll scale needs more options.



Luckily it’s my wife’s truck, so she’s fully aware of every $ because she’s picked all the stuff. But we still have $10-15k to go before we have everything we want at the moment.

 

The 4th gen got the v8?

 

I simply bought one that already had the mods

 

Ahhhhthe trusty 4.0 good motor

 

That’s totally fair. The 4th gens are my second favorite for sure

 

$3k so far with at least 18k to go.

 

I believe it. They are nice

 

Oof....

 

My 07 T4r was way more fun to drive than my 13. Plus the V8 was great for altitude and the 34’s.

 

Hopefully cheaper if/when I learn to weld and build my bumpers, sliders, skids and rack.

 

Fair enough.

and my 4cyl first gen was (and is) the most fun I’ve had in a vehicle. Honestly more fun the the “sports” cars that I’ve had

 

I'm just north of 10K on my 2018 limited.

 

Not mods, but recent reinvestment and required maintenance. All fluids changed, VC gaskets, new front tint/visors, and rebuilt front end with new shocks on all fours. Soon to get new tires. It’ll all add up to near $5k.

Not bad as this truck has been very low cost for many years outside of tires and fluid changes. Toyota dependability!

 

I could've paid for another car or paid cash for a SXS+many mods with what I have in my truck. I just deleted my CL posting for the Tundra yesterday. I figure I'll just suck it up until it's paid for then buy a sport sedan that gets better than 12 mpg's hwy and use as a daily.

 

I could start adding it all up but I’m going to pretend like it’s not that much.

I just found this sema build for sale on Craigslist in Austin. Makes me feel like my build isn’t that bad now. I’m not a fan of green and red colors side by side.

I think I’m still under 5k, unless you count detailing supplies.

 

I think I'm at over 42k unfortunately ..and that's only counting the mods I can think of off the top of my head but there are plenty of other random things over the last 4 years (ie. bought the truck new in Nov '14)

7,000 TRD supercharger
6,000 BDS lift, ICON coilovers, Atlas leaf packs
1000 ICON billet UCAs
700 TC tubular UCAs
300 Eibach 700lb coil springs
1,900 first bumper (Relentless Fab)
1,100 Gobi roof rack
600 RK Sport hood
900 White Knuckle Offroad sliders
1,900 Warn winch
600 custom bed rack
1,500 old RTT
500 bed liner (Line-X)
1,800 random led lights
3,000 Nitro 4.88 gears and ARB rear air locker
500 Radium oil catch can kit
500 sPOD kit
300 Odyssey battery
700 Dometic fridge
650 RDS secondary gas tank
400 UWS storage chest
700 BudBuilt skid plates
800 first set of Method wheels (18s)
1000 second set of Method wheels (17s)
7,500 in sets of tires (two sets of 37s, two sets of 40s)
300 locking center console
100 custom shackles
1350 in headlights/taillights
200 Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers

Other random things I can't remember the rough prices I paid but in total are probably another 3k at least: Coachbuilder toe rod ends, tints, seat covers, floor mats, bed mat, rear row floor storage chest from EPS, TRD Pro grill (removed), "Raptor" grill, tow mirrors (removed), Pro Comp flares.

Different strokes for different folks; my build started out down the typical "overland" path but I've started purpose-building it more over the past year to do even more technical trails than before -- the goal is to eventually have a ghetto "Ultra4 poser build", especially after having a taste of putting my full-size truck through some of the Hammers main trails.

My next Tundra build is going to be cheaper beacuse I've been patiently waiting for one to show up on craigslist for under 10k to turn into a dedicated crawler with Super Duty axles.

 

GEEZUS, THAT IS AWFUL. Looks like they ran over all of Santas elves and they got stuck to the leaf springs.

 

Oh crap. Add another $500 - $1000 for me. I need/want a touchscreen head unit and backup camera...

 

I didn't think I was going to until I look into something's like dechroming...then it just snowballed.
