Nice and festive!

then these came along:

now:

can't wait to lift it few inches

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Looks much better!

One question though: Why didn't you wait to buy new tires once you got a lift? Those tires will probably look small when you install a lift.

thanks, I know, was planning on it, but didn't want trouble this winter with the shitty tires I had before, braking was terrible on icy roads
I want to space the wheels out more as well, so ill see when the lift comes on

 

[4runner SMASH]

How much are you going to lift it?

 

[AleksV]

How much are you going to lift it?

2.5-3"

 

[DavidAlexander]

Really nice, can't wait to see the lift on.

 

[4runner SMASH]

it will probably take a while, since I'm most likely spending money on my other car before the 4RNR

[Matthew Starr]

2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 4WD, Alpine IVA-D310 in dash dvd, Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.5 (front speakers), Infinity Kappa 6.5 (rear speakers), Infinity Reference 4ch (speaker amp), Infinity Reference 12" dual 4ohm VC subwoofer and Diamond Audio D3 (sub amp). Electric fan, no A/C compressor, K&N intake, TRD headers. @ 5280ft. elevation: 203bhp and 234ft-lb

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Does the electric fan add HP?(Not extremely knowledgeable about fans) I know that the headers might add a little.

Just wondering how you got to that HP.

Just wondering how you got to that HP.

In a 4Runner the cooling fan runs off of a belt. Taking it off and putting in an electric fan takes strain off of the motor. The fan probably only added 3 maybe 5hp. What really added hp was removing the A/C compressor and the adding the K&N intake system. The headers really aren't doing anything cause I still have the stock muffler. The whole exhaust will be replaced soon though.

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Oh ok. So when you took out your A/C compressor that means you have no more AC?

ya. its winter time anyways so i dont need it and i have a guy who will recharge the compressor when i decide to put it back in. i have a lot of good tips on how to make your runner a little quicker. First thing you should do is replace that stupid toyota intake. Toyota has so much un-nessicary emisions crap on there cars. so replacing air intake and exhaust will benifit you more in a toyota than other cars.
