Two sides to this coin... 1. I left the 4Runner for exactly what OP stated... antiquated/outdated... and I couldn’t use the off-road capabilities enough to justify keeping it. 2. The reason I left is why so many LOVE it. It’s still simple. Easy to fix; doesn’t break often. Perfect for...

The only dirt she sees is the dust from a construction site blowing into my wife’s parking garage. But hey, it’ll drive through 3ft of water and has 11 inches of ground clearance... in case shiote gets real at the mall. She is purrty tho. Don’t believe the hype. It’s still a LR. Ours has...

Checking back in on this topic... yeah, there is a part of me that’s considering trying to find a really low mile LC when we ditch the LR Disco... but those are like unicorns most of the time. For everyones amusement... here are text exchanges from this morning... (for my wife’s 2018 LR...

Lest we forget the “emotional” part of the ownership as well. That is HUGE among P-car owners.... the “joy” you get out of driving your car. I imagine it’s much the same for 4Runner owners with its capabilities to do activities that bring said owners “joy”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...sorry... needed to reduce and upload the pics.

Well this thread is just plain timely.... I’ve been gone for just over a year, but I check in on here from time to time for general updates and whatnot. Saw this thread and found it intriguing. For those on the forum that don’t know me, I had three different 4Runners. The last one a 2014 TE...

You can measure ground to middle fender... or you can measure ground to frame (just inside of each wheel well). Frame measurements are “actual”..... Fenders are just “visual”

Thanks guys. Like I said, more than decent chance that i’ll be back... just may be a few years. After so many years in a full SUV, I think my brain just finally decided I wanted to try something more car-like again. Trust me, I went thru damn near every possible street-centric SUV I could...

I took $25K without a fight. Prob could’ve fought for more, but was in a time crunch (trade in mind you). Picked up a ‘17 Macan GTS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Close. But kept it in the compact crossover market... [emoji52] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holy hell, I’ve watched the Runner value on and off for last 6 months. It’s unreal what mine was worth. They gave me what I asked for without arguing. Eh, I’m not ready for the flame-throwers to be ignited just yet... don’t think I wanna post the new ride. Lol. Let’s just say it’s dang near...

Just wanted to say “Thanks” and “See you next time around”... Sold the 4Runner last weekend... the itch got too bad, and the Runner was just falling too far behind for my liking/daily pavement pounding. This place has been great and helped me through all my choices and mods. There was a...

Lol... yeah, saw these on IG and IMMEDIATELY came over here to see if JB was leaving the Runner (world). ....whew. [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will take some time, but google “5th gen 4Runner lift KDSS”.... you should get plenty of hits for T4R.org with threads discussing your topic. Don’t think you can go much above 3 inches tho w/our removing KDSS all together. Happy hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...Also, for those reading this... These posts are one of the reasons I’ll always come back to this site. Obviously, the ridiculous amount of mod info on here is great.... but Trip write-ups like this keep us 60 hour work-week/no-vacation-taking pavement princesses sane. It keeps the spirit...
