Hi Folks!
Been browsing for the past 1.5 years and really value the information/expertise found here. My wife and I bought a SR5 4x2 Sept 2018 and it has been a wonderful experience.
Tinkered with it a bit after work (automotive repair). Have done:
-Bilstein 5100s Front (first stage lift..I recall a 1.25" raise)
-Fox 2.0 IFP rear shocks (no lift)
-C4 rock sliders
-Victory4x4 Aluminum Front blitz bumper (removed their logo, lol)
-Black Oak 20" LED light bar in above-mentioned bumper
-Hitch-mounted Twistep for our dog, Ranger
-XPEL paint protection film (clear bra), front bumper, hood, mirrors, fenders
-TRD SEMA Gunmetal wheels with Toyo Open Country 265/70R17
Such a solid vehicle and feel privileged to own one of these. Always waving to other 4runner owners we see on the road. Not sure if they notice us or think we're crazy, haha. My wife daily drives it to work and we take it up to the mountains on weekends to get the dog into the snow (or tree dodging during the summer)
Things we're planning on doing next:
-285 tires around Volk TE37XT m-spec wheels (want more contact patch, willing to sacrifice on the pavement to helps us avoid getting stuck)
-rear bumper (likely Victory4x4) with ladder
-roof rack (not sure)
This is a bit lengthy for an introduction. If you've read this far I am flattered. Be safe out there and do hope to meet some of you soon
