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

Who cares? It adds 20 hp!

 

the sound of the water helps him sleep? up in that RTT

 

Thanks. I did not get measurements before the install, but did measure from the fender to the center of the hubs. I am wanting a touch of rake so it’s not squatting when we load up for a long weekend or trip.

 

I did the same thing. I had miscalculated the rake when adding new springs and redid it and been happy since . Great improvement! Hope it goes great brother.

 

Not wrong ^
The delays were savage this weekend

Beautiful province to live nonetheless

 

New Mexico?

 

Yup. Did the chile on the plate give it away?

 

Hard to read with my beady little eyes at age 71. Couldn't find my magnifying glass! Be kind to old farts driving 4Runners!

 

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?
