Gotcha. Will do. I'll try to get it on level ground to get it as close as accurate as possible.

Hey man, so here are the measurements I got. Take these with a grain of salt because this was definitely NOT a level surface lol, but it was the best I had.

This is from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well/fender.

Front Driver: 19"
Front Passenger: 19 1/4"

Rear Driver: 20 1/2"
Rear Passenger: 20 1/4"

Let me know if you need anything else.

Love the wheel/tire combo! Looks great!

Thanks dude! Took me wayyyyy too long to make a decision about the combo, but in the end, I'm really happy with how they turned out

Appreciate it!!

Were those measurements taken like this? Your numbers seem a bit low

Hahaha not even close. I went to the bottom of the fender. I'll redo them tonight properly and post back. Wow I really misinterpreted those first instructions lol. Sorry about that!

[yosh2000]

actually best way to measure is from center of wheel to bottom of wheel well. this will take the differences in tire thickness out of the equation.

Okey dokey. So here are what the actual measurements should be based on that image you sent. Keep in mind that this was definitely not level ground whatsoever. With that being said, the back looks to be sitting around 39.5" and the front around 38.5". Does that sound better lol

There really aren't any "actual" measurements, I think they are useful to compare among others 4Runners. If you browse the tire/lift thread, you'll find some members that have posted those measurements.

Although to compare among different 4Runners, it's more accurate to measure from the center of the wheel/hub versus the ground. (To rule out wheel/tire differences). I just wanted to see what yours was.

In the pic I posted, my measurements are about 37.5" in the rear and 37.2" in the front.

Haha I gotcha. Yea I know there aren't any "actual" measurements. Don't really know why I said that. I've been browsing that thread all week though. So many awesome 4runners in there. It's so awesome a little bit higher off the ground. I'm thinking I might need to take off the running boards soon

Just a little shot from the torrential downpour in CT yesterday. Handled like a dream.

I've heard a lot of people complain that the KO2s are not that good in rain but I thought they drove fantastically. They seemed to grip well and they chewed through the puddles and standing water on the road. Didn't seem to have a problem but I am curious what everyone else is experiencing.

[Krayziekid]

So, nothing new as of now, as I am really busy with work and life in general. I don't think anything new will happen until I get back to school, but once I do, oh boy it's gonna be open season

So I figure I might as well give a list of stuff I am planning on doing in the near(ish) future:
-Custom Sway Bar End Links

-CB Radio (Probably just a Cobra 75 w/3' Firestik mounted to rear hatch)

-Some new skids (probably going to go with standard BudBuilt, but I am considering RCI. If anyone has solid personal suggestions, let me know)

-Might throw on a Gobi Rear Ladder since I think it looks awesome and I'll have actual income at school

-And finally, I want to get a small toolkit to keep in my car at all times. Anyone got any suggestions? Nothing massive and crazy, but rather something reliable that I can use on the road if need be.

Happy August everyone!

Had the skids off for the lift, and since they were a rusty mess, I decided to use some rustoleum and do a quick red paint job. Just for shits and gigs really

Now all I have to do is drill out two bolts I broke, replace them with some SS bolts and put them back on the car.

[Krayziekid]

Did a bit more work on the car today. Completed the 03->06 Headlight swap with relative ease. I haven't seen any fantastic literature/guides on how to do this for a newbie, so I think I am going to make a (hopefully) idiot proof guide on how to do it. But for now, here is a nice comparison of the old and the new.


Also installed two new switches. They are pretty awesome and simple to wire/install. Had to sand down the inside of the switch hole a bit, but nothing too extreme.


Also, not pictured, I put my factory skids back on. I put some red rustoleum on them and they look great. Only issue was that two of the bolts snapper when I initially took them off, and we tried to extra them. No dice. Ended up just drilling a new hole in the skid with some beefier bolts and put them through two holes already in the frame. Works, but not ideal.
