Our second featured build comes with a clear mission: build it for yourself, not for the crowd. Meet Project Recon, owned by an enthusiast who knows exactly what works and what doesn’t — thanks to lessons learned from a previous 4Runner.
This 2017 DCSB TRD Off-Road 6MT was purchased on September 22, 2017, with a specific goal in mind: create the ultimate IDGAF build. Every mod has been chosen for a purpose, tailored to the owner’s needs, and tested on (and off) the road.
Follow along with the build as it continues to evolve: @Project_Recon
