Adventure Runner Pre-Built Build Thread

[JuniorPigeon]

Some of you might recall the member [MENTION=117708]blackoutt[/MENTION] and his 2007 Galactic Limited, well for the past year and some change I've been the very proud owner of this baby right here and figured by now I've done enough to make a thread of my own/revive his build for those interested in information.

For those interested in the drawers/bed/electrical that he put together here's some old picture of the process. I have all the details from old threads too for anyone if they need.

My first time out with it putting all these goodies to use.

The day of the new rear bumper. This was built by a local fab shop that intended to produce it, but since nixed that idea.

The new front bumper, winch, F55 stuff and S2 were all pretty straight forward. The fairlead and bumper weren't 100% plug and play which was a little disappointing. But all I had to was grind the bumper slightly on each side so make room. The wiring for the aux reverse light was already there from the old ones.

Right after the new wheels and tires a couple of weeks ago. Completely rub free on the old 295s, but now I have some cutting on the front bumper to do and I want to relocated the body mount altogether.

Wish I had the V8, that stance on the F5's and 315's makes my pants fit weird.

The V8 is why I don't have a 5th gen anymore :guitar2:

Yeah same here, I knew I was gonna like the new wheel/tire combo but I had no idea I'd be so in love lol.

 

[Jones25261]

That is one sexy beast!

 

[TLar25]

Good looking setup! That rear bumper looks killer! Love the angles

Thank you both!


I've ordered the body mount relocation kit, and panhard correction kit. So'll have some in depth photos of that install. Super ready to have full wheel lock again and get rid of this adjustable sway bar and it's clunking heim.

Looks great man, looking extra thicc with those 315s! I do like the rear bumper a lot, neat to have something unique!

Can't you put 315's on your V6?

Sure I could, just no budget to re gear for a while, so I'd suffer drastically until I could swing it. I'm just not sure how practical it is. In my area 33's have never let me down, I might try either a 295/70 next time or maybe pizza cutters, not sure yet.

Thank you!! They are beefy that's for sure. Also I agree haha.

Looks damn good man, gotta love a t4r on some 35's
I bet the headers sound good on it too.

I wish I found a wheel I like in a -25-40 offset.. I have 17x9 -12et with my 315/70's and having a bit of rubbing on the JBA UCA's at full lock, REALLY don't want to space them out so I may just let it be.

This very true. I will say, it does sound amazing in my opinion. Full exhaust makes all the difference.

Get on the SCS train! If you can stand the wait lol. My old wheels were -12 with 295s so I can see why you're rubbing. I'm not sure there's a good, small spacer out there so leaving it might just be the way to go.

I looked into doing a custom hub-centric spacer in .5" that would also require me to do extended studs. Not sure I want to spend damn near $250 just to keep from rubbing at full lock.. so I think for the time being I'll let it be. Maybe down the road i'll go with a proper offset wheel but for now it'll do. In the next year or so I'm looking to be on the same FOX setup as you as well.. not sure my 5100's will like trying to manhandle the 35's for too long.. Again, great looking 4runner.. I'm a sucker for a 4th gen on some 35s!

Yeah I'm not sure it's worth all that lol. I love the Fox stuff, go for it. Thank you!!
