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

yes please measure from center off the wheel to bottom off fender before and after and from ground to fender thanks ,i keep hearing 1' lift but not sure and are you also doing the back shocks or not

 

They will be set at 2 1/2 ", having a local 4 wheel shop do the install.

 

Will do bud.
I’ve already upgraded the rear Shocks with Fox 2.0’s witch doesn’t add any lift.



By adding the TRD Fox in the Front I’ll accomplish my Overall goal of just a slight lift in the front.

Next I need to decide on a Tire and Wheel Combo.

 

so why did you go with fox2.0 and not the Trd Pro Fox shocks on the back ? just curious

 

I had the New 2.0 Fox Shocks on the bench for a while and decided to use them.
I’ve used these in the past and have had good results, thanks.

 

Took me a while to get started, but got a few initial mods done before I head up to Colorado this weekend!

Toytec suspension
Smittybilt 10k Synthetic Winch
HeftyFab low profile front bumper

 

I say it all the time, if you don't like your vehicle enough that you want to turn around and admire it, you paid for the wrong vehicle.

The other day I washed mine up and got it looking good, then I went inside and called the wife and kids outside like there was something important to see... When they got outside I pointed at the 4runner and said, look how good that looks... All 3 of them gave me dirty looks and went back inside

 

That's funny as hell! I've been tempted to do the same with the wife but I already know the attitude I'd get! I will admit that the first time she saw the Runner she loved the Nautical Blue and understood why I wanted it so much.
I do just stand and look at it sometimes and just walk around it. It's a great looking truck!

 

Looks good!

What tires are those?

 

Installed the AJT designs climate control knobs, went with the cement color since its closer match to the silver oem pieces. i think it looks good.

 

Nitto Terra Grapplers...they were put on by the dealer when I bought the truck, so I’ve had them since day one. The new suspension definitely brought things up a bit though!

 

ditto...every day...

 

Wow looks great. Do you have a front shot of that bumper? Was there a lot of cutting?

Thanks.

 

Not too bad:

 

Looks great.
Do you possibly have a brand or a link? Everything I search for is for a Jeep. Maybe it is a DOT standard for headrest post but you never know.
Getting older family members into the 4runner is sometimes difficult & necessary (we have no kids).
It is also just another handle to hold; hopefully on trails also! Nothing but corn land around us...
Much appreciated.

 

How do they feel compared to stock?

 

Installed Window Flares (AVS)....Blacked out the Emblems (peel/stick)...Installed LED Interior lights, not all of them, just the 4-doors and the Rear TAG lights...Did the Liner MOD to stop the tire rub...

 

Washed it. Now I can see all the scratches I've collected since I bought it four months ago. I think I'll keep it dirty from now on.

 

Washed it.

 

I finally gave her a bath, she was filthy for weeks from hunting camp trips.

My neighbor stopped by and started asking me about my pro. He was thinking of getting a 4runner and using it for over landing.

 

Odd question, in the grass by your front tire. Is that a sprinkler head in a circle of concrete? Can you tell I do lawn & landscaping for business? Lol

 

Ha you are correct!

 

Xenon hid kit with the Phillips 4.8K XV2 bulbs. Should be nice bulbs once they replace one. Shabby sketch but the arrow points to a bright spot, then just further out is a dark area the follows everywhere on the road. Should HID have bright/ dark spots? My last runner just had 5k XD kit and they were fine

 

Oh, here's stock halogen compared to the hid. the road looks dark in the halogen pick (same place where hid bright spot is) but that's just a damp road last night

 

Any realignment necessary? Light pattern looks nearly identical. Very nice

 

No, left it stock for now. When I lift it I'll check the linement.
Here's a pic from my 19. Same spot but with 5k bulbs.
Edit, these look like they don't go out as far. I'll have to check current alignment, I dislike people with bright lights and dont wanna be one

 

Not today...but yesterday RSG angled sliders with top plate.

 

They were Amazon ones for a Jeep technically... They are under the headrest a bit. I might actually make some Paracord straps to move the handle out a little more.
