Hey all. My name is Christina and I have a 95 4runner. Love it. Always ran into jeep site and things of that such...glad I found this forum. Looking to do some mods over the next couple of years. Went wheeling and wasn't enough for me being stock. Where should I start? Any advice...let me know

 

Welcome to the Forum Christina.

As for where you want to start, need to know what you want to do, daily driver? Lots of off-roading? occasion? do you care about the ride (ie soft, hard, bumpy etc)?

Suspension is really the first place to start because you need to make room for the tires and clearance for getting out on the trails otherwise you will need one hell of a wench..

 

Welcome to 4RF!

Yup, suspension first. At the very least get some decent shocks, even in stock length.

Then, the next thing to worry about is the rear differential. I learned my lesson getting stuck while parked on a paved road. It had a muddy/grass shoulder. Both passenger sides tires spinning madly in the muck while the driver side tires remained stationary on the asphalt. More than a little embarrassing, being in a 4WD vehicle and being stuck while parked along a paved road! A little steering wheel fancywork did the trick and got me out. Whew!

My next mod was a Limited Slip Diff (Detroit Truetrac).

I believe your 95 is running a stock open differential. If so, you need to change that.
