Need advice on my next step.
Hey T4R Community-
After purchasing an 06 SR5 a few weeks back, I've already done some very minor modifications to it. I plastidipped the side emblems, handles, back bar, and back emblems, and I also just took the running boards off. I have ordered the parts to complete the satoshi grille mod, and I'm just wondering if there is anything else that y'all would recommend to me that would really make my car look awesome. Attached is a picture of my baby... If the picture doesn't show up here is a link: http://imgur.com/7WuOLgN


Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
Ben

Here is the pic, use the "BBCode (message boards & forums)" link.



FWIW, that looks like a lot of rake, but it could be the way it is sitting. I'd say a lift and a more aggressive tire. Great looking 4R.

Question for you, are the badges attached with an adhesive or is there some type of clip that must be removed from behind the door panels? I'm thinking of doing the same thing, was hoping you could fill me in on the process involved

No need to take them off. Use plastidip!

Almost all the badges on Toyotas are typically adhesive (hair dryer or heat gun works well) save for the actual Toyota emblems.

Rake is nose lower than the rear.

It might just be the angle of the photo, or self-leveling, etc., on yours. But all stock 4runners are raked. I like a little rake, but closer to level.

Dig around the lift thread to see pics of 4Rs that have had the rake leveled out.

I'm definitely interested in putting a spacer lift on it. Do you think it would look goofy if I put a daystar 2.5/1.5 on and kept my same wheels on there? It would definitely look better with all terrains but I'm just wondering about your opinion on lifted stock-ish 4th gens
