2008 Urban Runner- BUILD

[Syr4RinNC]

Nice - certainly on my to do list with the skid plate when I save up (and ensure mine doesnt rust out). I see youre also featured on their website

So you planning to put a winch in?

Yes, 100%!!

I was going to put a winch in at the same time as the bumper, but my rear axle seal is leaking and that project is setting me back a few bucks.. The winch will come next month.

Very nice rig!!! I also have an urban runner (2009). I see you are running LFD crossbars. Could you kindly confirm which flavor of LFD crossbars are needed to work on the urban runner? I am planning to order but wanted to confirm. Thanks in advance.

The 4th gen sport cross members are what you need.

Great build thread. You got a good looking 4Runner!

Definitely taking some inspiration for my own, got mine back in November but haven't decided on what lift kit to go with.

Thanks man!

Deciding on a lift all depends on what you want out of the vehicle, and obviously your budget. If you focus on those two categories, we can look at what fits those needs.

Make sense?

Definitely.

Sent you a PM that way I don't clog up your build thread.

I recently picked up an 2007 Sport and I was wondering what came in that storage compartment by the rear passenger side cargo area. When I opened mine, there was nothing in it. Is it preferable for storing certain items? Thanks.

I believe the OEM jack was in there when I got mine. I took everything out, and now I have accessories for my WaterPort in there (extra nozzles, hose, pump, etc).

The jack is in the opposite side, driver side. I have a tow strap and jumper cables in there lol

How do you like the Wilco tire carrier? Does it rattle or make any noise on/off road? I'm leaning towards this one since I'm about to go to 285's and don't want to throw the spare on the roof rack or in the trunk. Do you ever regret not going with a full swing out bumper?

Also what size tires are you running?

285/70-r17 Falken MT's for tire size.

As far as the Wilco goes, I only got it because it was $500 on Facebook and in mint condition. I would never pay the $1100 for a brand new one. If you can find one used, try to look for the high clearance one. I lose ground clearance, and the damn thing sticks out two feet. My friend has the Rigd one, and I like that design way more.

To each their own, but I will be getting a rear bumper in the coming months.
