Great pictures! I want snow!!

Nice pics Skulls are those the Olympic mountains or the Cascades.

Ive kinda been on a hiatus from doing mods on the 4runner mainly because of work and partly because of new hobbies.

Thats me and my oldest daughter on my 2012 Harley Night Rod. I traded in my 2007 Triumph Daytona 675 and converted over to the dark side.
Now on to the mods I recieved my Rola Roof rack on Friday and installed it the same day. It was a pretty straight forward install and i only needed to reference the directions once and that was to figure out which way the mounts attach to the factory crossbars.
On Saturday I decidid to get up early, and when i say early i mean like 9am because i work swing shift and dont get home until after midnight. The goal for the day was to install my 1.5" RB body lift that had been sitting in my garage for the past year and a half. I used the write ups that you can find on the forums here as a guide and set off to finish this long overdue mod. Even with my fathers 3 ton jack and about 4 1" blocks of wood stacked on top this was still close to maxing out the height of the jack. I didnt want to take the tires off and put the truck on jack stands because i wanted it to be as stable as possible while installing the lift.
I ended up having to torch 3 of the body mount bolts and get them cherry red in order to spin the nuts off and them hammer out the bolts from the underside. With these delays and never having done this type of lift it took me about 9 hours to complete.
Here is a pic with the body lift and roof rack installed.


And some poser flex pics on a rock i have at the corner of my property.







I still havent fixed my rubbing issue but it only rubs at about 90% of full left and right lock. Im going to have to do the body mount chop because while turning and the front wheel stuffed the tire and mount make contact and im worried about puncturing a tire on the trail.

I also installed some new Sylvania Silverstar Ultras in my Hi/Lo and Fog lights. For all 3 they were a little pricey at about $50 a pair. I originally only intalled them in my Hi/Lo beams and was so impressed that the next day i went out and bought them for the fogs. Now for anyone undecidid on whether they want to go HID or the more expensive Silverstars I have had both now. My HIDs were extremely bright but the pattern of light that was put out was really narrow. The Silverstars are also extremely bright and the pattern of light seems to flood both sides of the road. Flip on the brights and you can now see an extremely long distance. Im thoroughly impressed with their performance.

Those are the olympics

Thanks. Yeah I cant wait to go up this year for another Christmas tree.

My Dad lives in Blynn right next to Sequim and I sure do miss the PNW and want to move back.
By the way nice job on your bad a$$ looking rig.
And that bad a$$ Night Rod.

Wow, body lift looks great. Nice work

Small world man. My parents are building a home in sequim. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks

So how many inches of lift in total do you have? I just lifted my rig 3" in the front and 2" in the back and I want to fit 33" tires soon and was just curious how many inches of lift you have? And also how thick of wheel spacers would I need so there is none to minimal rubbing with the 33"s thanks!

That is real bad-a$$... I love all the lift! And here I thought I did some serious modding to clear my 16" Pro Comps, but getting any 15" steelie to fit a 4th gen is super nutz! Good job.

What kind of rims are those? I love the look of those on a 4th gen and may pick up something similar to that rim! Looks great man!

Funny how 15's can make 33's look more like 35's.
Nice rig!

Those look like Cragar D Window steel wheels but many companies make them. You can find them at a lot of places, like SUMMITRACING.com.

Yeah, no kidding. I've got 33's on my '05 and they look tiny compared to this guy's!

It's too bad this guy hasn't updated his build thread in a long time. I am curious if he ever had any wheel bearing issues with his heavy wheel/tire setup and large wheel spacers.

I love the look! The smaller rims look great with those tires and I know they will ride better with more sidewall that can flex. If I could fit 15's over the sport brakes I would definitely go with it.
I am putting on a body lift soon too. Nice to see the drastic difference in looks yours had with it. Gave me a much better idea of what I'll be looking at.
