The dealer has made it clear to me that I have two options: 1) either put in a preference request, in which case we'll have to wait and see until a vehicle with that configuration comes available AND is then allocated to him (which given the scarcity of the config particularly in the Southeast...

Window tint option Hey Ryan. That's precisely my question, is it all seven windows (can't really tell from the picture) and, how much darker/different is it from the privacy glass feature that's already standard on the vehicle. The dealer couldn't offer any specifics either. I think Dispense...

Thanks Superman for the input. PM sent...

Thanks for the input Thanks guys. Yep, it's a true special order since the dealer recognized that a preference request for this particular 4Runner would take too long. He'd been tracking for the last two months how many in that config came into region (I pestered him every week) and the two...

I've spent the last few months reading through this forum and learning about the 5th gen 4Runner (great forum BTW). Locating the particular vehicle I want has been a challenge (Shoreline Blue Trail with KDSS/NAV) but I finally found a dealer willing to work with me to get the exact 4Runner I'm...

I'd love to see more pics of the lifted truck, especially sitting level. How much lift do you now have in the front/rear as compared to stock? Closeups of the tires on stock TE wheels would be awesome too! BTW - you should add a pic to the "lifted" thread at the top of the forum.

I don't know if anyone else saw the post in the performance forum regarding the 17" TRD wheels that were recently listed on the Toyota website under accesories for the 5th gen 4Runner. Anyway, this is certainly encouraging that the wheels will be available some day...

Hell yeah that counts. What tires did you go with?

Waiting for an update (w/ pics)!!!! I hope it all worked out yesterday at the dealer. I'm especially interested in the Katzkin seats. I'm going the TE route as well and would like to see pics of the finished product.

iDRiVaT4R, I'm very familiar with the BFG ATs - how would you compare the Firestone M/Ts with respect to noise generated by the more aggressive tread pattern? Thanks in advance!

Way to go! Congrats Ben - happy it worked out. Could you expand on the leather seats option? Will that be installed by your dealer or was it a port installed option? If you don't mind, could you share the cost of the option? Thanks!

Thanks Rook - I've seen the method wheels and liked them. I've also seen the Enkei RT6's with machined lip. Often times the best thing is to wait a bit until something better comes along. I'm hoping more OE options are offered between the FJ, Tacoma, 4Runner or GX. In the meantime, they'll...

Hey cgill00 - they truck looks pretty sweet! You mention that the Maxx Traction are quiet. Is that as compared to mud tires? What did you have before the Maxx Tractions? I'm trying to decide between the Dunlops and the Duratracs and really like the Dunlops. On the tirerack survey results...

So while I work with a couple of dealers to locate the 4Runner I want (Shoreline TE with KDSS/NAV), I've continued my research for different mods, including lift, tires, and wheels. I expect to keep the OE 17" wheels for more aggressive mud tires (looking at the Firestone M/Ts) but would like a...
