Hey Mike,
I am currently running c59-350 springs with GS59-220 struts. I have a steel front bumper with winch on my 2008 v8 4wd. I am going to be moving back to a factory front bumper with a low pro bumper and winch which should drop my front end weight a bit. Sitting next to other 4Runners...
Here is my Dobinson suspension setup with their long travel rear. Dont mind the missing rear bumper, I took it off to finish up some welds and paint it.
When loaded down with the weight of the bumper and spare tire this suspension rides amazingly well. I cant recommend this set up enough!
Here is the front bumper that I made. The winch plate area is 1/4" and the rest is 3/16". Each piece in the base is interlocked with the next piece so it should be plenty strong :) Im working on the back bumper now.
Are these still available? Also, just to confirm, you will supply the original hardware as well (nuts, washers, etc)? Looking at All Pro's site they require extended thread lug nuts for the front, did you find this necessary?
I have these headlights and they are just as good as my OEM headlights. I did have to aim them a little lower, when I first got them they were pointing towards the sky.
A little tip, get on chat with a representative from CarID and say you can get the same headlights cheaper off eBay. They will...
In regards to my 4x4 v8 I get about 15.5 mpg calculated at each fill up. That's with mixed driving, stock t4r with 2.5/1.5 daystar spaced lift.
