Reserved. Suspension and Wheels.

Purpose is mild off road without compromising much on road comfort. The Toytec Boss coilovers with diff drop kit fit the bill.

I wanted an aggressive stance. With the fender flares, the 4Runner can accommodate very negative offsets with deep dishes. Had the Volk TE37X on my prior 4Runner. Although a great wheel, the cost over the Konig Countersteer X is hard to justify. The Konigs are strong, lightweight, and come in the same offsets at a fraction of the cost. Purchased from Dustin at FN wheels. Outstanding customer service.

Specs: 16x8 -20 offset. Anthracite gunmetal. The wheels have a small amount of poke as compared with stock. On stock suspension, the wheels rubbed the front bumper fender flare in reverse at full clock. Once lifted, it sucked into the wheel well a little more. Stance is perfect in my opinion. No rub whatsoever now.

A Thundercloud Sport is one I WILL own one day. Perfect in every way, to me!
Beautiful rig man. Those Konig wheels are great wheels too.
Did you go with an OEM new steering rack or reman/aftermarket?

Thanks! When I got the 240k service done, I asked them to check the steering rack because I had about 1" of play toggling the steering wheel at highway speed. They noticed the rack was leaking, boot covers were coming apart, tie end rod cracked. The initial quote to replace this was surprisingly high, (not a couple, but several k)... Got the dealer to price match Toyota of Dallas for a brand new OEM rack, (same guys as trdparts4u). That saved a bunch.
