Got the 3 inch touted spacer and coil spring installed with some 15x12 black Bart wheels and 33x12.50r15 extreme mud claws

Got the paint finished, doesn't look amazing but that was kind of the idea :rofl: Also got the 2" body lift put on and the bumper relocated. Working on making some gap guards and then its just a waiting game for tires and wheels to arrive so I can install the 3 inch suspension.

I don't have many days off for the next week so I figured I'd take advantage of today. By the end of the year probably have bumpers ordered if not put on, all new tierod ends, lbj, replace all wheel bearing, undercoat the frame and maybe save up for a set of remote reservoir front coilover and...

I got the bumpers pulled off as well as the sr5 fender flares and running boards. Picked up a replacement front bumper off craigslist and got that painted and mounted. Interior ripped out, bed liner applied, and the exterior sanded. Lift was delivered today as well so now I'm just waiting on the...

yea I'm mostly going 33s for now because I want to do some more upgrades just to strengthen the drivetrain up a little before I put on 35's.

Newish to the forum, had an account here many years ago. This is my 5th toyota and my second 4runner(3 tacomas,96,97,05). Picked up this 1997 sr5,3.4l manual for $2500 with 207k miles. Plans are 3 inch toltec lift, 2 inch body lift, 33x12.50r15s, painting the exterior multicam and rhino lining...

They won't let you down! they also have quite a bit of experience working on lifted vehicles.

I've been driving with my bumper off and honestly decided that vent was useless lol

Ricks Tire and Auto, the owner and family are very good friends of mine. They're great people and extremely knowledgable when it comes to wrenching.

This is impressive, I was proud of myself for removing my bumpers and running boards today...

Removed fender flares, running boards, bumpers. Changed oil, greased u-joints, flushed radiator, and power washed the under carriage.

Can't give much insight to the broken shock but I've owned 5 toyotas, 3 tacoma and 2 4runners some lifted and some not but honestly all of them felt pretty rough on the back end going over speed bumps. I think its kind of just the nature of the beast.

I've had multiple sets of the old version, the new version should be here by the end of the week so I can let you know once they get here what I think of them.

Im a fan of the mickey thompson baja atz personally, good all terrain with a little extra kick for tough conditions.
