This is the way!

Secured my life long dream to get a 4runner, debated for a few months on getting a Lexus 550. But it didn't make sense to get a Premium fuel only vehicle with my wallet.

I want to build out my 4runner and slowly add modifications.

I plan on doing week long camping trips and weekend road trips.

If I could get some help regarding a few questions concerns I would greatly appreciate that.

Is my current TRD Pro suspension system good for adding on a roof rack, roof tent, 120+ Gear ?
I dont plan on going on true off road adventures just yet.

Welcome!

 

Welcome From MD. Good choice!! Now for a pic or two??

 

If it's the factory suspension, you'll be fine. The Pro's come with a 2" lift from the factory.

 

2"?

 

Welcome from Wisconsin!

 

welcome

 

Welcome from Arizona!

 

Just added some, thank you!

 

Thank you for reminding me. Added Photos

 

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.

 

Underground?

Looks good, sir!

 

Great pics! May the force be with you! (Your helmet!)

 

Welcome and this is the way

 

Welcome!

 

Negative. The Pro sits 1" higher than the other trim levels, and have 0.6" more ground clearance.

 

Congratulations on your new rig! An Underground T4R Pro is the way!

 

So my rig (21 TRD Pro) is presently outfitted with +300 lbs (SlimlineII rack, 270º awning, fridge, compressor, bumper, winch...) and I have swapped out the factory springs for the Eibach 'Pro Lift'. Even with the added 100 lbs of winch and bumper over the nose she doesn't pitch down that much during hard braking (unlike some of the other trims that have a nasty nose dive)...about even with the base pro trim without the added weight. Before the additions but after the spring swap she rode much firmer and about 1/2" taller in the front than now...still over 1" taller over the factory Fox setup on the front end.


So exchanging the weight of the bumper/winch for an RTT and about even with a roof rack replacement I would say the stock Fox suspension will be fine. I just feel that you'd appreciate leveling out your rig before adding weight. On a budget I went with the Eibach spring upgrade route but there are other configurations to consider, check out the Trail4R article.

 

Welcome! The smashed window was their attempt to get in, make a key with scan tool, and steal your rig. Rear window typically doesn't trigger the Toyota DIO glass break sensor if you had one installed

When's the jet pack mod coming?

 

I thought the weight limit was pretty low for the roof, not enough for a tent???

 

The obstacle is the way.

 

Welcome from SoCal

 

The roof is not the concern. The OE roof racks and rails have a low weight rating. Good for sets of skis, and maybe a bicycle or two lol.

 

@CalcityRenegade so, what's the weight limit of the roof? Not for me, but for the OP.
