Can I go wider on the factory wheel as well?

I called a local 4wheel store and asked about lift kits. He recommended icon lift kit, installed for $2400 installed, $3300 for kit that includes front control arms. Is the control arms needed? Or is that for the heavy offroad trails? I really like the look of lifted 4runner now that I've...

It seems the trail edition is in high demand, i found one locally but it was priced near a 2015, and it's 2 years old with 40k miles on it. If they won't negotiate price, I'll wait 1 more month and get a sr5 and mod that. Which would be tires, tint, and bilstein shocks, at least. If I get...

Well I used to take my 1998 grand cherokee overland out to the OHVs and had a blast. I'm just wondering how the 4runner compares to an older jeep. I don't know too much about specs, it was a 5.2 liter 4x4 overland package. plowed through mud with near bald tires and did ok on the trails with...

I do want the trail edition, it's just not available around here and not wanting the overpriced 2015 trail. Thank you Ron, that is about what I was looking to hear. I keep straying and looking at the tacoma. It looks so much better IMO, but 4runner just offers so much more. Such a dilemma.

Thanks for the reply everyone. I won't be doing any hard core trails, just the light ones that are around my area. I didn't want to be doing any lifting of the 4runner either, at most I would have some AT tires. I'm avoiding the limited solely for the fact that it's wheels seem too large and...

I've been looking for a 4runner and wondering if I should just get a sr5 instead of trail model. I don't do heavy trail crawling, just light trails and mud. Will sr5 fit the bill?

Hello guys! My first offroad was a 1998 grand cherokee overland with a 2" lift and bfg AT. It was fun visiting the few OHVs around. That was a long time ago, and been getting the itch to have fun again. I'm in the market for a 4runner, probably 2011 or 2012, unsure as of yet. My question is...
