New Lift/Tires finally!
 
Well,
Finally my lift is completed! Here's my first pic: http://mikemillar.smugmug.com/photos/71375638-L.jpg I'll be posting some more soon.

It's now got Donahoes up front, Bilstien 7100s in the rear, with custom Deaver coils 20% firmer than stock and 2.5" longer. A 4 crawler 1" body lift, and some 285 Cooper STTs on Lexus GX470 rims with Spidertrax 1.25" spacers installed.

She rides great on road - now to get her off into the desert!

Wow...one of the first 2006 4runners with a lift! Looks real nice! Now, i would definitely add rock sliders...and maybe bumpers down the road.

Sweet! :biggrin2:

I look forward to your impression of the new suspension once you get a chance to test it out.

Nice work :cool:

that looks great! The worst part about living in LA (besides the traffic and hish housing costs) is that there aren't too many places to get dirty.

Nice choices :D

front body mount modification?
 
I have read on TTORA and FJcruiser forums that the FJ and 05+ Taco have to cut the front body mounts a bit then weld the open section to brace it for strength. All this to accomodate the larger tires.

There was an article on this in the latest 4WD Toyota owner mag.

Do you need to do this as well on the 4th gen 4runner?

Thanks,

I would like to join you guys, if that's ok...

I'm not sure if I can make it to the one in a few weeks, but I would definitely like to join you guys for future trips.

Thanks everyone... yes I can't wait to take this out, I'll try to join you on your next trip.

As for where the work was done - everything was done by Demello Offroad.

How much did you pay for the Lexus wheels? They look sweet - of course the whole thing is just SWEET.

K6UK 05-25-2006 02:02 PM

I found some on ebay, but then lucked out and found an owner on Craigslist who didn't want them. So I got the set for $299 in perfect condition.


Here's some more pics:
