    That's not quite my price. My price is a little ridiculous and I know no one will ever offer it, but if they do if take it.

    I can never remember. But yours looks huge. Could be your camera point of view as mine is typically above the vehicle

    Mines like 41 1/2 up front and 43 in the rear. And my camera angles definitely are never the best, I'm kind of an awful photographer.

    Why else would that 4Runner be built so big? Who needs practicality? All about them IG followers #famous #forthebitches #haterade #thisisgay

    That thing looks fantastic.

    You could probably dip the 4Runner 6 times for the cost of labor for vinyl wrapping

    Question. Since I'm in between stock and "built" would I be better off going back to stock to sell, suspension wise at least

    You 90% won't get your suspension money back so sell it on forums. Even if you take a "loss" on it. It'll be more than you'll probably get on the market with it all together. And most people don't want someone else's project. Most will see something modified and think it was beat on. Stock will ease their mind a little.

    I would assume back to stock if everything is easy to take off.

    It's easy just annoying. I'd probably go for selling as is and gauging interest, then maybe part it out.

    I hate the notion that modified means beat. I take better care of my vehicle than 90% of people that never modify theirs

    Yes. Yes I do, smartass :)

    Mine looks massive compared to 3rd gens

    Then people look at my truck and see its both modified AND beat, and the circle of "mod = beat" intensifies

    Jesus how the hell am I that much taller
    That's definitely true. I'm probably gonna order the DYC kit pretty soon and do it after my trip to Windrock, Potts, or Harlan (Still don't know where we are going)

    i know a guy that dipped his FJ himself, said it was super easy and it came out pretty good. best part is if he gets a shitty spot or scratches on it, he just sprays over it and you never know

    Thats my plan. My paint already look like shit so why not. I have been talking to NYC-runner about it and he said its really easy. Had some good info for making it have more texture too that DYC doesn't tell you

    I might, not sure. Because I want it to be more matte and the overcoat thing makes it more "pearl". Plus I think it would be harder to touch up if I did that

    I have no idea. I looked through your angles and all I can see is the LR arms are normal ball joints so naturally they sit lower. So you can be taller in the front without the same issues I would have by cranking a little more. The rear you have 3.5 springs right?

    You have white. Easiest Toyota paint ever. Give it a little polish and it comes back to life. Is it dull? Here's what I've done with Toyota white.

    Single stage is the best thing ever.

    That would make sense. I could probably go up another half inch in the front if I wanted to also.
    And My paint is all scratched up everywhere and dull and stained with this brown stuff that falls out of trees haha. It just doesn't look good. I could polish and it and make it shiny again but that brown stains don't come out and they are everywhere. Plus I just kinda want matte white haha.
