Yeah they're in pretty rough shape, some of the original finish is peeling and flaking off. They definitely need to be sanded down and redone

Absolutely loving the set up so far! Went and took some pictures today while I had a few minutes to kill. I need to decide on a color for the wheels, I'm leaning towards a brighter silver possibly or something close to the original color. I also think the right shade of brass/copper/gold could...

Thanks! It's definitely gonna be a process

I appreciate it! There's a long list of little stuff up next before I put anymore real money into it

I'm okay with it haha. If it ever gets to that point it will be an ironic title that hopefully everyone will know by name!

Well, I guess I can start a build thread now that my truck is no longer just another 4Runner. I bought this 2001 SR5 4WD in July 2016 for $3500. It had 222k miles on it when I purchased it and ran absolutely perfect and I couldn't be happier with the guts of the truck. Now for how it looked...

We did the fronts earlier this afternoon, coil spring compressors are a joke. You'd think there would be a better way. Got both of them done though. We moved onto the back and the FJ80 coils are just so long, it's crazy. With two kinda sketchily placed jacks we got one side in before we decided...

I think that's what I'm gonna go with. Question: how did you guys get your LC coils in? They're so much longer than stock

Oh man, I really like that. You think the rubbing will be on the A arms and stuff or more on the inner fenders? Fenders is easy to fix. A arms not quite as easy

From what I found it's a little more than an inch taller and almost an inch wider. That's kind of a lot, right?

Okay, installing my lift this weekend (Tundra fronts/LC Rears) and ordering tires to pick up sometime next week. Pretty much settled on Cooper STT Pros but, I can't decide on the size I should get. It seems like everyone goes 285/75 but I was wondering if the 305/70s are doable. I'm keeping the...

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I know this question has probably been answered somewhere already but does anyone know the paint codes for the FJ80 front coils? Or the proper way to count the wraps? That sounds ridiculous but I feel like I get a different number every time I count them

What shocks did you run with these?

Yeah I was hoping it would be rare which would make it more valuable but I guess that's not the case haha
