Bought a stock 2001 Sport two weeks ago and...

how did you get to mount them upside down (proper way) like that!?

If you get a set through Toytec, they'll come with a mounting bracket on one side of them, so you can only install them one way. I guess you could take the bracket off and put it on the other side.

But then the bushings are the wrong size. You may be able to swap those though.

Good point. But not sure why anyone would want to go through the trouble.

Hey man awesome rig you got there! How's the lift feel on the highway and around town? I'm looking at a similar setup to yours lift wise and don't really want to go more then a 3 inch lift.

Thanks! I love the setup. It's definitely a little bit more stiff than stock, but I like that. Nice and responsive. I do think the OME's were slightly better over washboard roads, but the 5125's are so much better on the road.

Thanks! Mine is definitely both a pretty simple build and simple build page. Usually just a photo and quick sentence or two. Some of the other guys here really know how to write an informative build.

That's good to hear! Hopefully I will be peacing my lift together soon

truck looks real clean man! Love that sport hood!! Another very easy mod that will make your rig look a little nicer is cutting those rear mudflaps off. I did it in about 5 minutes. Took a pocket knife and cut them right off. It's more of a personal preference. Keep up the good mods!

Love this truck, 100% going this route with running boards and maybe a slightly tamer bumper.

Pick up my T4R Limited tomorrow!

Thanks! And yeah, I like having a little extra back there.

Got myself a set of Land Cruiser FJ80 wheels! BIG thanks to [MENTION=53337]SCRunner12[/MENTION]! He tracked down this great set for me. Couldn't be happier. Also took the opportunity to get new rubber.

Condition they were in when they arrived. They were powdercoated flat black and were in pretty good shape.

Decided to start with a fresh slate. After a good sand and primer.

Wow looks great!!!
Have a 00' Silver Sport so have been following your build closely;-)
Been packing around my LC80 wheels for awhile now, waiting for current rubber too wear out, planned for Duratracs myself......yeah this sealed the deal for me!!!
Have had a tough time choosing between my stock 5stars with spacers / LC80 / 8069's. My 3 favorite wheels!!
Since Im not sure about spacers and already own LC80's that's probably the route I will go, I've had a tough time getting myself to paint them because they are pristine:-(
What was your reasoning for ditching your ProComps??

 

[SCRunner12]

Nice! They look sweet on your 4runner. I was going to PM you and see when you were getting them on. Glad everything worked out well and you got them mounted.

Thanks! I dig the 8069's, but really they're a basic style and the main reason I got them was because they were a reasonable price (didn't then mind if they got beat up) and had all the specs on size, backspacing and such that I was looking for. From the very beginning I always wanted a set of these LC rims. Just think they look right at home on it. Perfect blend of form and function in my opinion.

Thanks again! These wheels rarely pop up for sale around here and if they do, people want an arm and a leg for them.

Pretty wicked to see these wheels finally on your rig. I recall comments here and there over the last couple years about your fixation with these wheels. You know I share these same feelings about these wheels, and I must say they look phenom on your rig! Did you go with 265's again?

Thanks! Yep. Stuck with the 265's. There's really no reason other than looks for me to go anything bigger than that.

I always wondered what your truck would look like with those tires, welcome to the club!

Looks great :thumb3:

 

[Hepar]

Just a small update on the tires.

Last full tank with my 265/75-16 E-load BFG AT's was 13.9 mpgs mixed driving.

Last full tank with my 265/75/16 C-load Duratracs was 17.4 mpgs mixed driving.
