    What width are those rims? I have +1 offset and would like to go to 285s as well just was worried about having to do BMC. Looks good

    How much of a lift will you have afterwards? And I’d definitely like to know if you got away without the BMC that’s the only thing stopping me from wanting to push 285s. Bumper trim and fender push back isn’t a big deal to me if needed. Thanks

    I think it’s 1.4in in the front. I haven’t taken of the flaps yet but rarely rub there.

    No chop needed! Did need to remove the flaps though.

    Nice. I just added the Eibach springs also. If you want to keep front flaps. I added the Rockbloz flaps they will work with no rub.

    No problem usually the alignment place gives you a print out on the specs. I just wanted to compare to what I have on mine. I have no issues either with wandering or rubbing and I’m running with Rockbloz mudflaps on mine. I prefer to have them on cause of the aggressive off set on my SCS wheels with the poke on my tires a little.

    Sorry. I meant to quote @Tooly - his roof rack is different. Just wondering if that is an early 5th gen roof rack.

    Yes it's off a 2010 to 2013 4Runner trail. I think it's the best looking factory rack Toyota offered on the 5th gen and function wise it's better then the standard one as the crossbars sit at least an inch higher from the roof.

    Yup same holes. Just some additional brackets under the rails. Different bolts at well but I actually used the same installation package as you would use to mount the Pro rack.

    Pushed front Bilstein 5100s to 2.5” to level it better with the 1.5” rear and added Nokian Outpost nAT tires in LT275/70/R17. So much better and smoother ride then the stock dunlops, they do rub in full lock reverse will have to do some trimming.
