ElegantViolence's Build Thread (2010 Toyota 4Runner TE)

[ElegantViolence]

In no particular order, but here is what I have done to my 2010 Toyota 4 Runner Trail Edition...

This is the train horn, air compressor, air tank, and on board air all set up, here are a few pics...

4 horns are behind the front grill, but hard to get any good pics.

(Note: Got a couple things I need to fix, like the drain plug, probably the stickers, and might make a guard for the tank.)

2.5 Gallon Viair Air Tank (200psi)
444c Viair Air Compressor - http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=viair-444c-air-compressor
50ft retractable air hose (200psi)

Finally a build thread, thanks, 4runner looks great! You should throw up a pic of your whole rig... I'd like to see what those wheels look like.

Does your tank protude lower than the slider? As in, would a rock hit it firt before hitting the slider? It looks like it hangs lower than the slider

Yes it does, I measured about 3 fingers but it sits back further-in a good bit, i need to get some real measurements. After having my truck on a lift today I decided I am going to move it in the future and put it under the hood. If you do trail and mild offroading it would be fine but if you do some crazy offroading i am sure it would get messed up sooner or later.

Your truck looks great! I have been eying those wheels for a while. They look very similar to ATX Mojaves (although slightly more black in color), appear to weigh less (BTW, any idea exactly how much they do weigh??), and are CHEAPER! I may pick up a set of these instead of spidertrax.

Love the tires too. I would be curious to see what mpg hit you take going with that size as it look like you stayed with 265/70/17s.

Great looking rig! Love the wheels and tires. I have been looking at the Black Rocks as well. The King suspension is sweet....some serious hardware.

I see you mentioned above that your tank hangs lower than the sliders, but what about the compressor? I am thinking about getting ONLY a compressor and mounting it in a similar location. Did you use any specific brackets to mount to the frame like that? Thanks!

hi.elegant violence wold you write up a detail description of the ride quality you are geting out of the king suspension,i read they are great off road. how do they ride in local streets,cornering stability,stop/go stop/go,there are stop sings/traffic ligths in every corner in the city.quickly changing lanes to get out the jam is an every day need. im looking for a soft confortable ride but not too smoshy ride.i was thinking on the ones with the compresion adjusters so i can set the softness/tightness as needed but i read some one had them and after the 5 seting they are extremly harsh even wiht a loaded truck so this has me on standby.
thanks

It was custom made. No problem at all with the location, great spot for the compressor, you could even put two, which is what i might do in the future, and move the air tank under my hood, and update my air hose lines, because the ones i have now are not the best.

I was worried as well before i got mine installed, but the driving is 100x better with Kings, very smooth, tight, and clean. I feel i can take corners much faster and the stabability is great and it sticks to the road. My right side started sagging though, so its going to the shop for a free tune up and to get fixed. Not sure what happened... but they want you to bring it back 500 miles after the install anyways to address any issues.
