Whether you're just getting started with your 3rd Gen 4Runner build or looking to knock out a few budget-friendly upgrades, this list covers 20 of the most useful, high-value mods you can grab for under $100.

These picks are all 3rd Gen-specific and combine function and form without breaking the bank. We hand-picked these ones below and they always seem to be some of the best sellers here at SRQ.

There are some pretty rad options in this lineup. Which one is your favorite? 

Panhard Correction Kit (PCK)

One of the most functional upgrades for lifted 4Runners, correcting the panhard angle improves rear axle geometry and reduces lateral movement after suspension changes.

Rear Extended Brake Lines

If you're lifting your 4Runner, extended lines are a must. These ensure proper axle travel and prevent binding and breakages under articulation.

Extreme Phone Mount

This heavy-duty dash mount holds firm on trails and works with any phone. Great for GPS, trail maps, or hands-free use.

This replaces the factory clock panel with a billet aluminum mount that's ready for RAM accessories.

Whether you are dialing in your visibility, maximizing storage, or adding creature comforts, small changes stack up fast. Start with the basics, build with purpose, and you will be surprised how capable your 4Runner becomes without breaking the bank.
