A bit of an update for the thread.

Spent memorial day at Moonrocks with friends! Towed my bike and all my camping gear over the Sierras with no issues and good tyranny temps. Didn't really do any wheeling just dirtbiking and riding in my buddy's rock lizard.



Managed to break the 1st gen out of the garage with the top off and take my girl out to the coast for a little day trip/date at our favorite crab shack.



After that, me and a buddy from work who has a 2020 tacoma TRDOR went on a trip to Cow Mountain







This trip finished off my cv boots so I replaced them with some napa new not remaned axles after spending weeks trying to get a set of import direct extended travel axles from oriellys that werent damaged during shipping.

Last thing, after waiting 8 weeks my 4xinnovations bumper finally arrived and I just dropped it off today at the powdercoaters! I'm matching it to TJMs factory powdercoat ( black with a little bit of texture). I should have it back in 2 weeks so I'll update this thread once I get it installed.

Nice build! I've got the same truck and I'm just getting started with the fun stuff (OME's/Bilstiens/Ko2 265/75's) after doing mostly maintenance and repairs for the past year. Question: how much did the bumper change your ride height up front or could you adjust the Fox coilovers to compensate?

It dropped it maybe half an inch but I adjusted the coilovers to make up for it. Im planning on switching to Fox 2.5s when I get a winch though, the 2.0s I don't think will keep up with the weight.

looks good

Careful with the parts-store CVs if you do anything too extreme. Ive heard of the splines breaking inside the front diff which can be a challenge to remove.

Thank you for the advice!

Side note, just ordered Fox 2.5s with R/Rs through Wheelers with the Black Friday coupon. Excited, but now I gotta start planning the upgrade for the rear suspension! I'm undecided between dobinson 210v and used LC coils. I definitely wanna do Fox shocks in the rear as well. Rear bumper is going on this week with Detours hitch mounted tire carrier.

Anyone have advice about whether I should look for Fox 4th gen 4runner shocks or Fox LC shocks and also what springs would pair up better?

Guess Wheelers had them in stock cause I got them same day I picked up my bumper from the powdercoaters!
