Basic Upfit

Tanner and Clay begin the project of taking a 1996 3rd Gen 4Runner from “Zero to Hero.”

Stage 1 of the build is what we refer to as a “Basic Up-fit.”

In Episode 1, we complete Phase 1 of Stage 1: “Mechanical Repairs and Upgrades.” The goal of this first step in the progressive build process is to ensure that your vehicle is mechanically sound before moving on with your build. It is not the glamorous phase, but essential to ensure that underneath those impressive, eye-catching accessories will be a vehicle that runs reliably.
