Well my son in law has my jack so I can't do it today but I'm gonna try my wheels. I have the wheelers 16" with skull rock rings welded on them. I will post up my results.

Now I'm gonna have to go out and try them. The site listed 4th gen 4runner and the 2010 and over fj but no 2010 4runner. Did they change calipers on the 4runner 5th gen and not the fj cruiser?

Wheelers offroad sells 16" rims that will work. I have a set on my fj 4" backspace. They even clear the allpro offroad spindle gussets. The stock 17" rims won't.

I did about the same setup on my 2008 fj. I went with the pro comp es1000 shocks the application was for a 1977 c 7 4.5 inch lift. It had the same specs as your shocks. For springs I went with the allpro offroad 3.5 inch lift springs. I checked the travel out with out swaybar and the springs...

When I got into the 2014 4runner te after the 2008 fj without the front sway bar it did handle better on the road. The first thing I noticed was no weight transfer leaving the stop lights. It handled the curves better and felt more stable. I took the 4runner out to the ks rocks park and did the...

I removed my front sway bar on my fj it helps offroad a bunch. I run the bilstien 5100 shocks with the stock springs . It had alot better articulation when I went to the toytec adjustable coil springs. I tried it next without the rear sway bar man it heeled over great. I went over large rocks...

My wife drives my 2008 fj and I have a 2014 TE.

I bought my 2014 4runner TE last July traded the wife's rav4 in on it. My 2008 FJ went to her I took off the lift and other goodies with the intention of lifting the 4runner. I love my 4runner but miss the fj but now the wife loves the fj no way getting back into the fj. The best thing I like...

My 2014 TE has the center display as pictured. I have all the same information in front of me also kind of redundant.

I spotted a black TRD PRO at Shepards Team Auto Plaza in Fort Scott KS. Man I just bought my 2014 trail edition 4 months ago o'well!

I am not an engineer I am a metal fab guy. I am on the board at Kansas rocks park and have seen a lot over the years. I have wheeled my fj cruiser hard with good results. I have alot of good things to say about the fj/4runner platform. Weight should not be a real issue if you upgraded your...

2014 TE carpet mats crossbars 36,785 sticker 35,138 out the door.

I ran the 5100's with the stock springs on my fj. This only served to level the ride. It made it stiffer. I added a winch and had to go to the highest notch. At one point I added a spacer to fit bigger tires. I finally bought the toytec adjustable coil overs. Even with the old shocks the ride...

I was figuring on doing some welding on the rails. I will lay it out and weld nuts flush in the frame if needed. I broke off all my skid plate inserts early on. To tell you the truth I'm more worried about walmarts parking lot than the rocks lol.
