Well, considering i'm nearly done with my build (famous last words), I figured it would be a great time to finally do a build thread. My truck has been through many different looks (mainly in wheels/tires) throughout the past couple of years. Also, you'll notice the running boards appearing/disappearing throughout my build thanks to my constant need to change things up. Ha. I'll make it prettier and add more info later (don't feel like typing much now) but I just wanted to get the initial pictures on here. Get ready for major 4runner photo whoring

Stock w/ 265/70/17 highway tires. This is the closest to stock picture I have as it had these tires on it when I bought it.
Next came the 265/70/17 Hankook Dynapro ATMs.
Next up is the Bilstein 5100/OME 884 combo. Initially, this gave me much more of a lift than I expected but it eventually settled down to around 3-3.5" of lift. I ended up selling this to a member on here.
I then picked up a set of 18x8 set of FJ Enkei wheels from a friend along with 285/60/18 Cooper Zeon LTZs. I loved these tires but got tired of the wheels so I sold them as well.
However, before selling them, I decided to paint them black...
I then moved up to the 285/70 STTs with FJ wheels:
