    Purchased a new to me 2014 sr5 4wd 4Runner after my Tacoma got smashed up. Plan is to build a fairly capable andsimple off road vehicle to have fun with. So far I have Fox 2.0 shocks front and rear, Total Chaos uppers, Eibach 12% stiffer rear 1.5 lift coils and Rago Fab window panels.

    Drove to Flagstaff for the weekend. Went out to Edge of the World, all fire road but a greatview at the end over looking Sedona

    Looks good. You appear to have avoided any issues with the wind fairing crossbar being too close to the roof.

    I stayed with 265/70/17, I didn’t want to deal with full size 33s and pizza cutter 33s are more expensive than these were. They’re pretty quiet for and all terrain. I haven’t had the chance to get out on a trail yet. Maybe soon

    Thank you. They fit pretty well, it came with a rubber bumper to help prevent whistling but I didn’t want to put it on since it would rub the roof. It doesn’t make any noise that I can hear thus far

    No pictures but I changed spark plugs and did an oil change. Just about at 100k miles.
