Thanks, Grant

Some I got used locally and some from my local dealer. It was cheaper to order online and just picked them up at local dealer. Shipping is expensive for the bumpers and hood. But it’s free shipping at my local dealer.

Yes. If I remember correctly you had a silver grey csl’d out parked next to a gas station as your sig :-)

Yes I’m always tinkering. I can’t seem to leave well enough alone. Good hearing from you :-)

TRD Fox Suspension?

Long time admirer and you got me all inspired. I have 2015 limited in pearl and have changed the front end out as well. Just spoke to a dealer and asked about upgrading to the new Fox TRD suspension did you look into this as well? Wondering why you went the other route. Pricing?

He said it is about a 3" in the front and about 1.5" in the back.

Thanks!

Following this journey is like watching an obese relative shed off weight and gain muscle at the same time.

Well done, sir.

Afaik, the oem trd pro fox suspension is only ~ 1” higher in the front and no lift in the rear compared to standard 4runner.

I went with the trd pro Bilsteins because I got a god price on a set from 2018’with ~ 5k miles. I knew eventually I would update to a adjustable coil over suspension.

To me it’s a lot better then my stocks + led bulbs. It fills in the sides more that I no longer use my fogs. I also like the swoosh style DRL and animation at start up.

I considered morimoto v2 as well but after reading about all the defects and returns, I opted for Alpha Rex Nova. Plus got into a GB and got 15% off.

Installed the front Kings this past weekend. The rears are still back ordered. I went with the 600lb spring rate. I plan to install a winch bumper and roof rack soon. I hope 600lb works with little sag, else I plan to update to perhaps 700lbs.

I also got my JBA’s powder coated as I thought the red would clash. As for pre-load, I went with 6 turns drivers side and 5 turns passenger side. I'm at 23.5" w/ the kings. Previously I was at 23.75" with the Bilsteins and 2" Cornfeds.

You know, if my build were my own and not being directed by my wife, I'd be building it like yours. Happy wife, happy life though! I actually have a set of TRD Pro Bumpers sitting in my garage. Got the front on and she told me to put the old one back on.
