My previous build, a V8 4th Gen 4Runner “4Funner”, took my wife and I to the connected 48 states, camping and wheeling all over, exploring national parks, scenic hikes, and natural wonders. While those trips were nothing short of epic, we desired more interior room, and more space to carry “stuff”. We had maxed out the storage of the 4Runner without adding bumpers or a roof top tent or a trailer. We already have a 2007 Tundra long bed for truck stuff around the house and even love it for comfort on road trips so we started the hunt for a newer, lower mileage, and hopefully somewhat prebuilt rig to save some time/money. Enter fellow Tundras.com member Erichudgins with an extensively modified truck that was admittedly more than I wanted to start with but after searching around and comparing to buying a stock truck of same vintage and building it the way I wanted it without even factoring in lead times, powder coating, shipping, etc. it was silly not to buy it. My 4Runner build thread was an after thought about 4 years into it so I vowed to start this one early.

This is a build thread to document the changes I’ve made since buying this truck. The previous owner put a ton of work into this build so now I’m going back through to clean up the details, tweak everything, and make it suit my needs to function exactly how I want it.
