I would add skid plates with of course the exception of the front TRD skid plate. Then sliders next. Some will recommend the reverse, sliders first then skid plates.

I get needing to correct for larger tires, but this is going pretty far the other way from stock. You would need 34.8" tires with a 4.10 to equal the stock gearing of 31.6" with 3.72 FD.
It would take 39s to get back to stock gearing with a 4.56 FD.

To the best of my knowledge there aren't 4:10's available for 5th gen 4Runners.

Yup, same experience. I ditched the AT3 XLT's after 15k miles. Great tires when I ran them but a bit much for the 4Runner especially since I live at 6600ft. I downsized to a 275 Falken AT3/W C-rated and the 4Runner rides much better even though they actually weigh more than the Coopers. I don't need to downshift as much to climb or keep speed. I still think 285's are in the future but it will definitely have to come with a re-gear. I'm still at odds whether I continue building the 4Runner and get a supercharger and re-gear or if I move onto a LC200 so for now will keep it at 275's.

What seats did you get? That's what I'm thinking about but haven't found much available

I will have to go sPOD for the mod I wish I would have done sooner! If you have lights, compressor, ham radio, and other electrical equipment that requires relays, etc. then something like this is your best friend. I bet I got rid of 100 feet of cable, relays, etc. from my truck just by adding an sPOD to my vehicle, not to mention the seperate switches.The sPOD or SwitchPros is definitely something to look into if you feel you have wires and switches all through your vehicle for different additions youve made over time!

Thats close to my set-up except with KO2's/65. I did them both at the same time. Its a great ride...I also added camburg UCA's.

damn, now I have to research how to do a re-gear.

I was in the same boat. I decided to regear (4.56) and added the Magnuson SuperCharger at the same time. To be honest gears (~1400) and supercharger (~5400) made the vehicle fun to drive and added some of the missing power that a 4Runner lacks, however, real world gains on the dyno were only around 22% in HP and Torque. Not sure it is enough gains to justify the expense or change the vehicle enough to warrant recommending going this route. Depending on what you are looking for in your ride it might be worth moving onto the LC200 if you are looking for more power/torque while having a stock engine.

ECGS website has 4.10 listed for both E-locker and no E-locker diffs. Is this just a mistake?
Toyota Gear Package
Toyota Gear Package
They even have a 3.90 option for the front clamshell here which is a perfect match for 285/70R17, but unfortunately a 3.90 option doesn't exist for the rear yet.
Tacoma/ FJ Cruiser/ 4Runner- 8" Reverse Clamshell Assembly
For some reason they don't have 4.10 listed for the rear 3rd here though...
Toyota 8.2 Elocker 3rd member- FJ Cruiser / 4runner
So my guess would be there are 4.10 gears, but for some reason they don't build rear 3rds with them too often?

I wouldnt do it sooner, but it had the biggest impact on my experience. A lift. 2 weeks into it and I couldnt be happier.
Im glad I waited because I would have probably ordered the wrong springs if I hard started there.

Click add to cart. Shows up as 4.56 in the cart. As others have said, no 4.10 or 4.30 exist for the the 8.2" diffs. My guess is its a typo.
