Bobby, from bottom of fender to the center of the hub (wheel) please. Front and rear. That way the tire does not affect the measurement.

Samster, did you ever get your drl's that you ordered from aiden James? I ordered mine at the end of March and now I'm not getting any response at all...

I hear you man. I ordered mine back in February. Waited patiently for the 4-6 week window. Didn't hear anything so I emailed at the 8 week mark. They finally got back to me stating they are a one man operation etc so I told them that I understood and my only frustration was the poor communication/customer service. I waited until earlier this month and sent out more emails. No response. I called my credit card and they issued me a refund. Needless to say, I was done being patient. Even if it is a great looking product, I was done dealing with them. Absolutely no faith in the final product if something were to go wrong. Their guarantee meant nothing after waiting almost 5 months. Sorry for my rant.

So crazy... same exact deal with me. I've told him the same the one time he did reply. I would have been fine if he would of just communicated with me. Looks like I'll be getting a hold of PayPal. Its too bad because it's people like him that make it hard to order from a small business on the internet. Thanks for getting back to me brother... cheers!

Nice to see some other people doing mild lifts with the turd pro suspension. I have zero rubbing with 255/80/17 (true 33's) skinnies with stock trd pro suspension. Going to put a Icon 2" coil in the rear with a toytec 1" spacer in front for some extra lift though...

Yea I'll be getting the 2" lift, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Toytec has one for around $400. Toyota wants 1K to do it, but I'll keep my warranty

Hello. Just stumbled across these messages. What are the names on the orders? I am the owner and the only person doing everything with Aiden James Customs and have a full time day job as a Toyota Tech too. I am very sorry if I have failed to respond. I have been extremely overwhelmed as I receive hundreds of emails a day with questions/etc and simply just can't keep up. I had help starting however, they got seriously injured and now will be doing rehab for who knows how long as they slit every artery and tendon in their arm working on a Prius. I would like to make it right if I can have the chance. My name is Scott. Feel free to email me at [email protected] so I can work to earn your trust back. Again, I greatly apologize!

Samster and quicksand. I had the same issues with Aiden James Customs on the DRLs. I waited almost 12 weeks before finally reaching out to Scott on no product or responses. To his credit he did respond and offered to remedy the situation. I just received my DRLs this last week and can not wait to put them on over holiday weekend.

Toyota Tech aka Scott, thanks for getting these out, and oh by the way it looks like I will be the first Cement Pro to have DRLs!

I cannot thank you enough for your patience. I have been so overwhelmed with orders of these I couldn't/can't keep up and nor could toyota in getting me the bezels. I know it sucks too that I haven't been able to keep up with communication and I am trying to remedy that as well. I'm sure you'll like them when they are installed. Take care!

I will send you pictures when they are installed. Also if you want to get with me about my factory bezels, we can work out getting those to you as quickly as possible.

Awesome! If they are in perfect condition I will take them and refund you $40 for them. Cannot have any marks on them as I can't send out marred bezels. I'm sure you understand.

the Pro has less than 2000 miles on her, unless I royally screw up removing them I think they will be just fine for your work. I'll send you photos via PM when I get them pulled off.

I also threw on some 275/70/17 BFG AT KO2s. There isn't any rubbing and I didn't have to do fender liner mod, cutting or anything else to make them fit.

I think the truck now sits perfect for an everyday vehicle, looks much more aggressive than stock, and also gives me a bit better clearance/approach angles for when I'm out on the dirt.

There is absolutely no change in ride quality, body lean, etc. from the stock setup which was a concern of mine since I really do like how it drives stock. It's a tiny bit bumpier (I'm sure because they are now LT tires) but it's so minimal that it doesn't really make a difference. If you're on the fence about what to do, I think this is a great option.

@bobbyavidity - I don't know how I missed this post! Glad to help you out, and your truck looks great! Still riding good?

Also, have the leveling kits and lifts on sale as we speak:

5th Gen 4Runner Lifts & Leveling kits at Burtman Industries - kits still on sale!

I think i just found the perfect mild lift. Thanks for posting Bobby! I have a question/favor for you. Can you measure from ground to the tip of your attenna? How many inches is that? I am pretty sure im in the clear even with my gobi rack. I still would like to see. Thanks again and nice Pro you have!
