I'm going to re read this build thread. I'm sure there's a treasure trove of info in it. I re-read Octane Junkies build thread this week, and I had forgotten some of the comments he and Habenro had made around their regearing experience.
Alex and his rig are an OG in this community in my mind...
I wish I had an answer, but I've been searching for a functional alternative for over five years now too. I'm surprised no light company has made a nice LED that bolts directly in. Hopefully someone can chime in and tell me I'm wrong. It's easy enough to put the turn signal in our corner lights...
If memory serves correctly, the cutouts are somewhere around 6" long and a bit under 2" tall. I have the same clear lenses, this is the main source folks tend to use, including me.
If you're in the market, I couldn't suggest this bumper more. Yes it's chunky and weighs a lot. But, I've hit two...
traxman25 and 4xInnovations rule. I studied up on rear bumpers for years before finally buying one of his and I have no regrets 2.5 years later. Great prices, easy to work with and awesome communication. +1 more for the company and their products!
Man, this just sucks to see. Andrew was great to work with when I bought mine in the fall of 2020. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that I haven't seen a reputable and dependable alternative to BXBuilt ever after this has been issue for so long.
That'll depend on how much lift you want to achieve. I have the extended versions as my 4Runner has a decent lift, maybe 4" higher in the back and 2.5" higher in the front. Interestingly enough, Durobumps used to offer an extended version for the front but it doesn't seem like that's the case...
Are you planning to tub your firewall yourself? Here's an awesome and detailed writeup on it either way. You'll definitely want some aftermarket UCAs, most folks will point you towards SPCs so you can adjust your tires as far forward away from the firewall as possible. Aftermarket bumpstops...
I installed the older version of this switch panel around two years ago and I can't speak highly enough of it. Super easy and simple to set up and I've had no issues with it so far. I won't hesitate to use the same setup in my next off road vehicle.
I don't have much to add, but I will say this is a useful and informative thread and I'm interested to see what folks have figured out. I have the same "midtravel" setup as a lot of folks but all reality I wonder how much more travel I really have than the stock suspension or folks with the more...
Woah, bummed I haven't seen that before after spending hours online on 4Runner sites most days. That's one of the better looking solid axle swaps I've seen, it's so low! Well done, hope to see you post more with that badass setup!
This thing kicks ass. These days so many people get the front LT because it looks cool and leave the rear end stock or throw 2" spacers on. It's so cool to see someone go all the way with an LT project. I'm not in the market but if I was, this is a steal of a deal. Good luck with the sale!
