99yota4's Build Thread

[99yota4]

Added some Clear corners and clear bumper signals as well as a hood bug deflector (bugflectorII) and some window visors (AVS brand)
Also took off the running boards after finding a pair of mud flaps for the front for $20!!

Then bought some Tundra rims with BF Goodrich KO's on them and threw those on for a few weeks of summer. Also bought another set of Tundra rims in hypersilver that i've been wanting. Got those mounted up on some 285/70/17 BF Goodrich KM2's!

 

[99yota4]

Got her tinted up 18% in front and 18% over the factory tint all the way around except the windshield. Here's a before and after.

Haha hell yeah. I would not either.

 

[Elton H]

well we got the front done them spring compressers where pretty scary i had to leave as it was getting late soo did you get the rear done ?

 

[99yota4]

Yep, got her all done. Got some 1/4" wheel spacers for the front and got the toe adjusted. Gonna bring it in for a steering rack and pinion bushing job and inner tie rod end job and a full alignment. Is $362 for that reasonable? Can I do those things on my own?

I will get pictures up in the morning, there is some rake but it looks really good in my opinion. I'll let you guys judge when I get pictures up tomorrow morning!

 

[Elton H]

awesome told you those 8s would be good cant wait for pics ... ill have my led tails installed soo ill drop off those 01s when i get time... as for the price that seems fair for the amount of work

:sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy:

:worthless

I went with 8 wraps because the Tundra coils with top-outs would only give me 2" of lift. My front went up by 2" and the rear went up 4". I'm sure I gained another 0.5" of lift after i mounted the new tires.

OK here are SOME pictures. I will try and get more pictures soon. Enjoy!

Here are the parts I used.

Here are the Tundra coils with tundra bilsteins assembled with the 4runner top-hats.

And some before pictures, but still need to take some after pictures to compare them to.

And here are some pictures of the completed lift!!

Parked next to a lowered civic and my runner looked beastly! Also parked next to a stock height 4runner! I was skying over him.

 

[Elton H]

dam went from :sleepy: to bad ass looking now you just gotta put them 01 tails on :biggrin2:

 

[Elton H]

wow what a difference

 

[Duhockey]

Lookin good! notice b4 no center caps, after you had em on, why the change??

was that Eltons 4runner in the b4 pic??

 

[99yota4]

Elton, I just got the tails in tonight. I'll be taking pictures of that soon and posting it! Thanks again man!

Du, the first set of wheels I had on there with no lift were the wheels I'm trying to sell. They are in decent shape and I have all the caps, I just decided not to put them on. With these new wheels (Hyper SIlver) with the km2's i thought i'd put it on to make it look OEM. I've gotten alot of looks and comments about my truck in the last day or two! It looks great now with the 01-02 tails installed!!

 

[Elton H]

ya them 01-02 tails just looks soo much better ... soo how's the ride quailty now ?

 

[99yota4]

The ride is good. The rear is awesome and it's still a bit firm because the shocks are still being broken in. The fronts could use new shocks soon but it's better than what I had with the stock stuff. Thinking about some Bilstein 5125 tundra shocks for the fronts after these are done. Looking into options to lift the front a bit more. Hoping to use the 9 wraps sometime soon hahah!

 

[Elton H]

might look into those ome sports and 881s

 

[99yota4]

i think i might wanna stay away from OME stuff. I'm considering a small body lift, i'm not a huge fan of them, but for the price, i'll get the stance I'm looking for and a little more clearance with those tires. I have slight rubbing at full turn and at a slight angle. nothing major to the point where it will rip the flares or mud guards off though.

I've noticed some type of squeeking noise when I am on the gas pedal. It slowly goes away after I let off, any ideas?

 

[Elton H]

meh just save up get some coilovers or find some on ttora as for the squeeking noise maybe the u jonts at a diff angle throw some grease there way see if that helps
