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

I like those plates, but I'd rather have a zia.

 

I had the Zia for years and wanted a change. It was the chile or the hot air balloon. I like the black plate with the chile.

 

What the heck is a 'ZIA"?

 

I feel you. Just turned 70 this year myself.

 

From the Zia Pueblo tribe. It got adopted as the state symbol, unfortunately without permission from the tribe...

 

I'd like to do more traveling in New Mexico sometime in the future.

 

I put some Lasfit high beam LEDs into my 2019 Limited. 9005 LED Bulbs 100W 10000LM 6000K | LAair Series, All-in-One Design

 

Did you obtain permission from the pueblo governor to post it?

I spent the majority of my life in NM and have family there. IMO, the best plate was the turquoise Zia example. I miss the public lands and caution anyone visiting the state to be very cautious.

 

Doesn't look reverse rake to me.

What are your hub to fender measurements?

 

Guilty as charged...

 

The lighting in the photo is such that it's not really apparent; I agree with @nimby - you need to get the hub to fender measurements, or slap a level on the frame rails.

I've not heard of anyone who used your same setup noting a reverse rake.

 

Passenger side:
Front 22 7/8”
Rear 22 7/8”

Diver side:
Front 22 5/8”
Rear 22”

*half tank of fuel

using a level, the frame is just slightly off level with the rear being lower.


Currently scheduled to get the Bilstein B12 36-281831 coils installed this Friday.

 

"Cautious"? Why is that?

 

Your front lift is not 1.75" if you're measuring 22 7/8 and 22 5/8 in the front.

You should be about an inch lower. Perhaps your shocks are one clip too high or maybe the spring perch is upside down.

 

I have the same setup. It will come down a bit when they settle.

 

Did a little front end transformation over the weekend, also swapped out the old DRL's for some amber LED's and added the gutter guard mesh behind the top and bottom grills.

 

I was wondering about the front. I requested the 1.75 setting, but can’t tell for sure. I can see the two bottom clip locations easily below the coil perch. And the perch looks to be installed correctly from the other images I have seen. What is the easiest way to tell which clip location they used?

 

Look at the strut bottom mount plate. Count the grooves from bottom up.

 

As stated, I can see 2 clip grooves.

 

So you need to read W/Install instructions as to what the 3rd setting would set the rise at.

 

The 3rd setting is 1.75” as noted earlier.

 

Do you have the part number for those bronze overlays?

 

Oh sorry wasn't paying %100 to your post Please forgive my malice as I meant NO disrespect to you.

 

Oh no worries! I am just trying my to figure out my best option for this setup. I requested the fronts be set at 1.75 / 3rd notch up, to go with the 1” B12 rear coils and it is not sitting as expected.

 

I can tell you from my 2018 TRD OR Eibachs set @ 0.085 frt only rear stock (Just to level it out & avoid any possible rubbing W/275/70/ tire I put on). That when pulling a 19.5 Chaparral Bow rider W/4.3 Mercruiser(for wt, Ref. the front floated & on Hiway/Turnpike when Big rigs passed it was not stable at all, I did not like that at all. BUT When not pulling boat it was fine.
P.S. You Will get the answer here from fellow members believe me, MANY knowledgeable/educated on these vehicles are on here! Just weed through some VERY Little Trolls & ??????. You'll get the correct information you're seeking!!

 

Yeah, I had the 5100s on my 18 TRD OR set at the .75” setting as I recall. I towed our travel trailer over the mountains multiple times and always wished I had added the heavy duty leafs. Why I was thinking of the B12 HDs.

 

Added Sliders. Guy in National City made them. Used Steel-it to coat. Easy fitment and quality. Welds look good.

 

They need a New Mexico plate with Walter White's face on it. That would be so awesome.

 

Brother in law gave me icon 2.5 w/o resi that were leaking. Had them rebuilt. Installed. Sits almost level. Maybe a .25 in high in the front but might settle.

 

Had take offs from my tundra that Baja Designs updated to the new SAE fog.
