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

So I did mention above I was testing, there is some rubbing with this set up that will require some trimming. I saw that chart and didn't really agree that "extensive modification" would be required, that's why I wanted to test. I don't think a CMC will be required or anything, just some trimming of the front plastic and I suspect the mudflaps will need come off the front.

 

@cug I should mention that my truck took some trimming as well even with a nearly 3" lift. But 255s have a lot less problems fitting then 285s.

 

@Bannerman – thanks.

 

Wonder if you had an adjustable UCA you might not needed any trimming. For my 285 with 2.5" OME 884 springs I only had to trim this front part of the bumper.

 

Possible, I've got JBAs on my Taco, that's what I'll put on the T4R as well when I lift it.

 

Definitely that would work.
I can't imagine how can some drive without mud flaps having to remove after bigger tires. Even with mud flaps I get crap hitting through the holes on sliders. Many times I've thought wish the sliders didn't have holes on top plate.

 

It does not have a lock like other brands. It holds by that blue rubber collar. I too had concerns if it falls off. So far its in place. Wish they had a better locking mechanism especially when you pay that amount of money.

 

So I am curious - on the video linked above, it shows some red O-rings when unpacking the bulbs from the box. What are those O-rings for?

 

I think they are to be used if the rubber doesn't fit tight enough. Even with those o-rings there is no locking type of mechanism.

 

Simple 2” front leveling lift today with Bilstein 5100s all around. Nothing major but it looks and drives so much better. I’m happy!

 

Pics? … thanks for sharing pics with us.
Looks nice, you’ll enjoy the simple lift. I did the same on my 2016 4RTP a year after purchase. What brand of tires are you running & size?

 

Oops thought I posted it. Let me try again.

 

yes they provide the 4 O rings i used them to make sure its tight you can turn them to get them in there pretty tight good luck these lights are pretty bright may add.

 

I got an email from Alpharex saying that the Luxx Alpha Black was out of stock after I placed my order. I called and spoke with Alondra (great customer service) and decided to just swap them for the Luxx Black as they were in stock. I was hoping to have them and install this weekend, oh well.

Currently waiting for the LASfit reverse lights to arrive. I'm contemplating ordering their turn signal bulbs as well.

 

I didn't have to trim mine when I did the OME lift and 285s its all in the alignment when installed. but when I changed out my factory wheels to the TRD pro wheels I did start to rub only in reverse because of the off set of the wheels. I trimmed my bumper and can't tell its done and no more rubbing

 

Not sure mine rubbed at reverse on steering full locked on one tire on a rock or a bump because I have 884 springs. I guess they are 2.5 inch lift not 3in lift. Since I don't have any additional weight in front a heavy spring is not adviceable.

 

Nothing wild but threw this on my wife's car. I didn't like the plate just rattling on the rear lift gate. Got a 2nd one for my car but might just put it on her front plate instead. Sorry for the picture size, I realize nobody needs to see something this benign from 30 feet away.

 

I got a set of those and will from now on get them for every vehicle I own!

 

I use 3M automotive double side tape on the plate. Not even a single movement. NO rattles.

 

As soon as I find a shop that will do it, this will be my next mod!

 

A Woody 4runner...
Fugly!!

 

Yeah, pretty horrible, ain't it? Notice the State on the license plate. That explains a lot lol!

 

Next mod after the woody mod

 

I hope it was a vinyl company doing an event or something. The A pillar is done but the rear looks like butt (lol). Well it is all bad, however their lines make it hideous. Wrap the fenders in the lighter brown...
There is still no way it can look good. Besides unwrapping!

 

That should be in the "cheap mod" thread! LMAO

 

No offroading, but took the family on a quick weekender up to the CA central coast to watch the Sentinel 6 satellite launch from Vandenberg. West coast launches have been scarce lately, so I'm glad we caught this one! Also had fun visiting Solvang and Santa Ines mission.
