Big Red - gamester5's 2014 LE build

[gamester5]

Well i figured it was about time to make my small build thread. So far loving my 2014 LE and many more upgrades to come.

2014 4Runner - Limited - Barcelona Red
Black Leather interior
No third row or sliding cargo

Here are some pictures before any of the major upgrades. There is a shot of my 2012 Highlander the wife ended up inheriting

You can see one of the upgrades I did early on was the OEM Mud Guards. (Better pics later of them)

Then I began the money pit of never ending upgrades ;-)

Started simple with a full Clear Shield package with several additional areas of added coverage installed. It had the full front end covered, door handle wells, back of the mirrors, rear doors edges since I already had the front doors done with the edge guard installed at factory.

I had them install a wide strip of clear shield at the door entries. I have owned several trucks and mainly it happens on the drivers side where the paint is worn off from getting in and out so I wanted to get that covered.

Then I purchased Weathertech Digital Fit Floor Mats for front, rear and cargo. You have all seen pics of them so no need to post them.

Here are the better pics of the OEM Mud Guards

Then came the big upgrade all at the same time.

- Toytec 3" ULTIMATE Suspension Lift Kit
- Light Racing UCA
- Spidertrax 1.25" Spacers
- Goodyear Duratrac 275/60/20 Tires
- DeeZee Running Boards

This costs some $ but I wanted it done in one shot so I could work out the kinks if there were any. Still dealing with some slight rubbing at full crank so some mods will need to be done to fix that.

Also having a slight pull to the right so I need to take it to a pro here in the Portland area, the stealership is not cutting it.

Looks good! Congrats

Some more pics with close up's of the DeeZee Running Boards and the Toytec coils.

So I have just over 6000 miles on it and so far it has been a Pavement Princess. I plan on changing that real soon when a few buddies of mine are going up shooting.

Sweet looking LE. Since you seem quite particular about your paint, you may want to consider the Husky Mud Guards. More coverage than OEM and still look good. You will need to trim the DeeZee's though.

nice 4runner. Again I love the 20" tire wheel combo

Love what you did with your LE!

I will look into those, might be a good fit.

BOSS setup looks good with the red coils. How are you finding the black weathertech's?

The weathertech's are very nice. the drivers side gets lots of wear so I just use Simple Green and they clean up real well. I must say I am not to fond of the cargo area mat, the fits just is not that good. I mean it works but I think it could be better.

I was kinda hesitant about those wheels, but I like what you've done with it. It looks really good. :thumb3:

Where did you get this done and roughly how much did it set you back?

Gamester5, as for the DeeZee's sticking out into the rear wheel well. I've had it happen to me where each side is offset for each side. Maybe you have the left/right flip flopped. Just a thought.

Did you do the work or have someone do it for you? I am starting to research what lifting mine would take, Thanks for any info you can give. The 4R looks beast btw!

I had it done at a shop, my son in law works there so I get a huge discount on parts and labor.

Here are a couple of the latest photo's.

A great thing about living in Oregon is you are 1 hour from the mountain and some snow skiing and 1 hour from hitting the beaches.....

Not sure how much you will get since I went with a full 3" Toytec Lift. I had to trim the front fairing a little bit and removed the front mud guards. I think if I cranked it full to one side or the other I might get a little frame rub but it has yet to really change my overall driving.

Check out the Tire Fitment guide here in the forums it should help you a ton.
