I have the P3's now as well. We like them. They handle well and aren't as loud as an MT but they are aggressive enough to get the job done while still handling good in bad weather. Micky's are a bit more expensive but they seem to last longer than most. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Thanks, it's a slightly custom budbuilt bumper. They made one for gadget way back it should still be on their website. I just asked for minor changes. I'm sure he can replicate them if you want. There's more photos in my wife's build thread, search for "hofs05 build" and it should come up.

Kind of a big update, last week Hofs05 got some fresh wheels and tires for her truck. We went with 17x8 ATX Mojave's and Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's in 285/70/17. They made a huge change in the way the truck looks, especially now that there's no more chrome on it. Making room for the new tires...

Thanks! Things are starting to come along. Finally got around getting rid of all the chrome. Color matched door handles, plastidiped the roof rack, rear bumper trim, and replaced the rear garnish. Now all she needs is new wheels and tires, which might be getting ordered next month.

Thanks for the info, j-blick.

Yeah we're both really pleased with the new look. Originally she wanted the black ones from the TE but I opted for color matched since the mirrors were color matched. I wish the TE roof racks were still black like on the earlier models. Those seem hard to find used. Going to have to ride it out...

J-Blick, Just noticed you live in Colorado. My wife and I are planning a trip out there latter this year in an effort to find our next place to call home. What area are you from and how do you like it there?

Had to order some new seals for the rear window and a rear passenger door so I decided to go ahead and order the parts needed to eliminate the rest of the chrome on the wife's 4runner. The door handles were alot easier than I expected thanks to sp8ball's posts in his build thread. The rear...

Thanks for the help. I figured it out, much easier than I expected.

I've got all the parts ready to replace the rear garnish on our 4runner but might need some help. I've found a few posts on the process but none of them mention the details on how to remove the inside panel. If anyone has some instructions or pictures it'd be a great help. Even a diagram would...

If anybody has the correct part number for the trail licence plate garnish can you please message it to me? I think I've found the one I need to put on my wife's SR5 but there's a few different ones so I'm not 100%. Thanks.

I believe the difference is in spring rate and valving. My wife drives the 4R and I have a Tacoma. While waiting on her icons I put in an used set of Tacoma coils that had a spacer lift. That setup gave her 2-3 inches so I doubt just the coils would yield a full 2".

Bumper looks great!
