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

What brand switch is it? If it's aob stock style you might have to take it apart and sand down some plastic.

 

Man, that looks tall. Could just be the angle? How many inches is that?

 

It's from Cali Raised. After a remounts and pushes the switch works perfectly. Thanks for the reply...

 

Looks great!

 

Yes comes with a button in the rear and a switch for the cab. I opted for the foot sensor just incase my hands are full. AN NO it does not come with the per lift gate.

 

Nice pictures.

 

Does the key fob need to me reprogrammed for the lift gate feature.

 

Probably the angle. The rear is 2 inches higher than the front. Was about 2.75" up front and rear from stock.

 

No. Its 3 hits of the unlock and it opens.

 

Brilliant!

 

Looks awesome man!

Congrats.

 

Nice Work and Looks Great!
How’s the ride on the trails & street?

 

Took it to the mountains with the family. No 4wheeling this time.

 

Christmas in July, now to find time to put em in!

 

Yes the boss/ toytec, also got the rear shocks

 

For now probably 1.5 and stick with stock tire size. If I wasn't trying to finish the house I would probably send the lift to the top! hopefully next year I can build it right!

 

Interested in a set of Cornfed 1.5" spacers to go on the back? Barely used, $70 to your door.

 

Update: I put the skids on which put me at the weight I got the springs for and it handles excellent. It is a bit stiffer than stock but feels better. It feels a bit more "Stuck to the road". The "truck" feel I had with the heavy springs and no extra weight has gone away. I am very happy with this combo.... now for slimline bumper and cutting the bottoms off the front bumper.......

 

Saw the 10mph warning sign as I traveled about 5-6 miles downhill from 9,500 ft ... glanced at the speedo once and saw "stop vehicle, shift to neutral and L4" ... did just that, slid the gear shift over to S and tapped back a couple of times to get to 1st and 2nd gear. Better safe than sorry ... that was a long drop over that edge and had about 4 switchbacks like it or worse than this.

 

It's much firmer than stock, but not excessively so and very controlled. Rides like a truck which is fine by me. The rear right now is pretty firm with the 895's but that is because I have not added the weight I will be carrying on a daily basis yet. It takes hits so much better than stock and doesn't have that wallowy feeling in the turns or anywhere else. Has me hunting pot holes instead of avoiding them.
No huge difference on the trail than stock other than better ground clearance and again more controlled response to hits. I'm happy with it.

 

Geeked my screen off image...might be a little obscure but it's a screen from the old Space:1999 tv series.

 

Ordered xenon hid kit, Morimoto fogs and more suspension stuff, this thing is draining my kids inheritance

 

So just a quick update on this....

I adjusted my lights lower and drove around a bit last night.

A very worthwhile mod IMO. Really nice cutoff line and the light put out was much better than stock.

I'm sure an HID kit is better, but for $14, this one is tough to beat.

 

Did some plasti dip today

 

The cap doesn't look andesite gray, but the dip on the vehicle does.

So andesite gray dip?

 

No it's black , maybe just the angle. It is the first application .

 

Ah!

Looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

Finally got around to cutting off the hook.

And putting on the winch shackle.
Also ordered a Victory4x4 full roof rack as a birthday present to myself.

Ordered it with the blacked out bolt kit. Used a tacomaworld coupon and saved $53. Hopefully it gets here before the big trip up to Big Sur at the end of the month.

 

I remember doing mine when I had my taco, it took a while lot longer than I thought, and I was so concerned about burning my synthetic line I BAREY cut a gap big enough to get it off!

 

I think this will add about 200hp or at least get my phone out of my shifter cover.
