I was in the same boat a couple years ago when I installed my lift with so many options available.
I wanted something affordable that gave me the lift and look I wanted for my 34" tires so I went with the Bilstein 5100's, OME springs and Toytec 1/2" top spacers up front. This set up is perfect...
I really like the look of no running boards or would prefer some low profile rock sliders that blend in nicely. Unfortunately, the sliders I want cost around $800 so those will have to come later.
Thanks for the comment! I would love to remove the running boards, but my wife and daughter who are shorter than me need them to get into my 4Runner. I could replace them with some nerf bars or other metal side steps instead.
2006 Limited Lift, Tires and Wheel upgrades!
Hello fellow 4Runner enthusiasts,
I have been working on my 4Runner for the last few months even though I have owned it since 2011 and wish I would have done these upgrades years ago, but better late than never :D!
I installed Bilstein 5100's all...
I am really impressed with the JBA UCA's overall build quality. They are solid well made uca's that I'm very happy with. They also provided excellent prompt support when I had questions during my install. I highly recommend them :bravo::bravo:
I just installed 5100's and OME 886's up front and OME 889's on the rear two months ago. I left the 5100's on the bottom setting because Wheeler's Offroad said it is recommended for my set up. I also added a 1/2" top spacer on the front so I have no more rake and my 4Runner is sitting level and...
New Headlights and LED Bulbs!
I washed and waxed my 4Runner this morning then replaced my headlight assemblies and upgraded all headlight bulbs to LED. What a difference it made and I'm very happy with the final results.
Hey Morris,
I have another question for you regarding the Demello bumper. Did you choose their Baja Design fog lights when ordering yours or did you buy lights somewhere else?
I purchased the Demello flat top bumper today without their add on lights and want to shop around for some that would be...
You are correct and I have heard from many other members here as well on how well their 2WD 4Runners perform off-road. I agree with you about not having a car payment and cant wait to get my wifes car paid off by next year.
By the way, I love your 4Runner build and it has the set up that I have...
I agree with them also and I just needed to hear it from others to give me a wake up call.
I will just stick to my original plan and slowly modify and upgrade what I have to make it unique for me and enjoy it for many years to come.
Thank you also for pushing me in the right direction and reminding me how good of a 4Runner I have and don't need to replace it just to have all the 4WD options at a very costly monthly payment.
As much as I enjoy keeping my 4Runner clean and detailed, I would probably cringe after running...
