What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Where are you located?

 

As close as you can get to the ocean in Virginia.

 

Boss kit and UCA came in yesterday, took the day off today and installed it today and mount tires. TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY!

 

285's with spacers? Looks good! Mine has settled a lot in comparison to your pics.

 

Yup! I'm debating on easing the front now or later once it settles, but noticed that there's a lean towards the driver side so I don't what I can do to fix that

 

It does look tall. I would wait for it to settle before adjustments to level the lean. That way there will be a better base line to make adjustments from.

 

Ok cool, I did mess up during the install. I was to excited to install the lift that I forgot to measure from the hub to the fender, so now I don't know exactly how much I went up

 

Hey @Hoe_runner , truck looks tits. Post more pics of the truck!!!

 

Thanks you! I'll post more tomorrow during day light

 

Mine (same setup as yours, BOSS and TC UCAs, but the heavy duty front springs because of bumper and winch) developed a slight front sag of about 1/4 - 1/2" at 2500 miles and a slightly more pronounced driver's side lean in that same mileage. I fixed the driver's side lean by cranking the preload up a little on that side but I left the bilateral front sag alone. I had no sag in the rear.

 

Left side always having the driver (and not having a passenger 100% of the time) and the location of the fuel tank will cause the left side to settle faster or sag. We used to call it the "FJ lean", but I guess it's an across the board Toyota thing.

 

Taco lean is a thing, too. There are spacer shims designed just for installation on the left side to bring it back up.

 

where is a good place to get the TRD rims or ones similar to them?

 

About to have some fun at vinyl wrapper.

 

Took twice as long as I was quoted (3.5 hour lunch), but very pleased with the outcome.

 

That looks great. The 17 TRD PRO Tacoma has something similar and i liked it too. That color is just so good .

 

Hey El Mamito i found my rims on E-Bay in Florida and had them shipped free from dealer to dealer to San Diego Ca. . I paid Just around $675.00 for four with lug nuts. Check E-bay then Craigslist.

 

Lift kit, SCS Ray10 wheels, and Falken Wildpeak AT3W's on the way!!

edit: Part one just arrived!

 

Installed the Southern Style Slimline Bumper....I like it as it blends well with the vehicle lines, but replaces the center front plastic bumper with a really solid chunk of steel along with a winch.
The winch doesn't do much for me off-road.......but the red accents really just power the thing through the mud......going to paint the calipers next.....and when those are red.......that will just make it float over any terrain......sure.
Actually, probably will look to put 285 tires on it.....and then round out the bumper with couple of classic round type fog or driving lights.

btw.....the seat covers are coverking/mesh breathable.....they really are a good product that are reasonably priced....and they look custom. The red accents are just diy plastidip.....I am rebelling against the whole total black out thing....actually, since the little wheel hubs had red TRD.....rather than paint those over to go black-out.....sort of went with it.....way with it...but hey....can always peel it off.

Cheers

 

Christmas came early and my Toytec Lift, SCS Ray10's, and Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285's are here ready for install. Probably get everything together this weekend and post up pictures. Haven't seen another lifted Pro yet so I'm pretty damn excited!

 

Pablo,
are you replacing the Pro Bilstein package or is the Toytec Lift you are going with a leveling/spacer kit. I want to do lift on my 2016 Pro so can go with bigger tires, but am reluctant to pull off the barely used, high dollar Pro package Bilstein stuff to get a lift job....will spacers work on a Pro.

 

Its the Toytec Lift specifically for TRD Pro 4Runner's Bilstein suspension found here. http://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-10692

The lift replaces the lower spring seat and upper spring mount to net 2" (looks like its closer to 2.5" from what I've read) in the front and Superflex coils in the rear for 2" of lift.

 

great,
thnx for that info....
look forward to seeing some pics of it lifted....and guessing the tires may raise it a bit as well.

 

No problem! I should have pictures posted up by Sunday.

 

That looks awesome. Love the sliders too. What else are you doing?

 

Thanks! Currently I'm waiting for the Prinsu group buy to fill up so I can get a full length rack. I've got some RCI aluminum armor and some Morimoto led high beams in the mail. Would love to wrap the roof white (like the FJ), but my daily driver (VW GTI) is going to be needing a new clutch and tires soon. Stage 2+ is pushing those two items faster than my wallet would prefer lol

 

Very nice. You are very creative.

 

What kind of bracket did you use/make to mount this awning on your stock roof bars? Thinking about getting one of these but not necessarily wanting an aftermarket roof rack right now.
