No, sorry. 285/75 was the biggest I went with factory bumpers..

Not running them anymore, but did have 295/75/16 General AT2's on 16x8 LC wheels. I didn't cut anything, but you do hit frame at full lock.

That's an old Pro-Comp lift...identified by the grenade shaped spindle spacer.

Half moons at back of valve covers are common, but I would also bank on rear main seal. What others said, clean it up, and if oil starts coming from underneath that vertical black plate infront of the tranny pan, i'd bet on rear main. Not difficult to replace...after you drop the transmission..

Oprah , The front is just an ARB powdercoated to match the limited cladding, and the rear is a BruceTS style bumper fabricated in the driveway! Thanks for the compliments!

Recent Death Valley trip:

Get anymore info on that 3rd Gen specific snorkel or a release date?

Finally got the home built teardrop out there.

OP has a limited with electronic climate control. You've got SR5 01thunder. I wish my limited had the basic turn knobs to be honest.

Thanks for the offer man, but i'll hold out for an un-deck plated one. Been there, done that ;)

WTB: 3rd Gen OEM Airbox; LB, CA Looking for just the OEM airbox that will fit a 1999 4runner. One of the arms cracked off on mine. Location: Long Beach, CA Prefer to pickup in the socal area versus ship. Thanks!

I seem to have a noise issue when I start the truck as well. It cranks fine, but on the final crank a loud metal clang happens, almost like a metal shield is being struck. After the truck starts it runs as normal, no issues. So this is making me lean towards some starter issue...Any ideas...

It doesn't only see the desert...but mostly, lol: 285/75's on 2.25" DR's and OME 891's compared to 265/75 with stock '99 springs:

Thanks farmerjon! It's a BruceTS styled rear bumper. I used his plans that are floating around the internet and built it in my driveway. The rear swing out is bolt on so it stays off unless I'm on a multi-day trip. As far as MPGs go, I get maybe 14/17.5 city/hwy. That's with 285/75 and...

Thanks Rickashay! It is a bit of a sleeper on the street. The suspension maintains the Limited ambiance when it does hit dirt :).
