More pics. Had to trim the front bumper and looks like I need to trim a little more off the body mount.
Falkens?
What did you do with your 4runner today?

Nice! I regret going with the smaller 285/70
You flexed it to bump stop yet? Curious how much it hits the top of the fender

Not yet just put them on yesterday afternoon. I was running 255/80r17s before this so I've already done some decent trimming but I can already see some other areas that need some more. Once I get some more figured out I will try and add it to my build thread.

Went on a short ride in the Black Hills to let the new C4Fab bumpers and sliders get some fresh air. Not quite ready for the real trails yet so I took a few poser shots-

Wow! Really nice armor setup! I'm going to send you a pm about that rear bumper. Solid looking rig buddy!

Made some bump stop drop brackets for my rear wheelers superbumps. I love them in the front but realized I was no where near touching the stock bumps or wheelers if I just added their rear kit so I saved a couple bucks and made some. 2"x3" tube fits well in the space, offset the bump about 1/2" rearward to center on the axle. I might need to add some small shims later on to keep tire out of the body work that I dont trim but hopefully this is all the uptravel I need to give up.

Changing out the rear sway bar bushings and sheared the head off the top bolt on the drivers side bracket. Gas tank is prohibiting easy access. I tried using a 12" drill bit with some success but don't have good leverage to completely drill out the old bolt. Anyone have any ideas to fix this?

Jack up the rear by the frame leaving the rear tires on the ground. Should give you more room with the axle drooped.

Decided to do a few things to the liftgate, but didn't get very far. Going to install a momentary switch so I can open the liftgate from inside (going to be sleeping a bunch in the truck next year), noticed some rust on the edges of the trim piece just above the license plate so wanted to clean that up and touch it up, and also going to paint that trim piece as well.
Question: is there a way to remove the Toyota emblem off that trim piece without destroying it? It doesn't look like there is access to it from the back...
I can't believe you can't open the liftgate from the inside on these trucks

A ghetto way to do it that might work, roll down the rear hatch window with the key fob or the button next to the radio, and reach around the outside to push the button.
Haha that's exactly why I want to just install a button inside... which I don't understand why Toyota couldn't just do... it's really simple.

Thank you! I’ll give that a shot.

I just got back from Colorado springs. I got my best tank ever. Coming from Colorado Springs and through Raton Pass I got 20.3 mpg Hand Calculated (20.9 on the display) for 270 miles on 85 octane gas. I was doing about 75-80 mph most of that tank.
