[v84RNR]

I've been wanting a 4runner since i was a kid but could never get out of the modified car scene until now.

I'll be posting updates as i upgrade. Most will come gradually as I believe in doing things right the first time.

05 4runner V8 Sport Edition

Future goals:
Lift
Armor
Misc gadgets

Picked up the 4runner in November fully stock and slowly refreshed all the maintenance to get this truck ready for adventures.

Finally got my lift on March 2017

Bilstein 5100 (0.85") perch
OME 885
Toytec Superflex

Thinking about getting rear spacers to level out in the near future

Hey Nice LGT! Used to have one myself (sold two years ago) and it only had ~50,000 miles on it. Really liked that car.

4Runner looks good with the FJ wheels too!

Thanks brother! Yeah I had 4 subies prior and 2 were LGTs! Also had my fair share of 240sx and Hondas haha

Aug 5 2017 - Body Mount Chop

FJ Buddy of mine helping with with the body mount chop trimming to make space for 285s

 

[v84RNR]

17x8 -10 Offset + 285/70

After going back and forth on wheels i decided on Level 8 wheels

 

[v84RNR]

Beadlocks!

test fitting my friends wheels

 

[v84RNR]

Final product!

For anyone looking to fit my current setup, you will need to remove the front flaps and push the liner forward thats all






NEXT UP: Brakes + Sliders

 

[v84RNR]

R1 Concepts front brake rotor/pad install + 285/70/17 spare





Front Rotor and Pad install was a breeze

NOTE: I had trouble finding the answer but for the V8 4Runner with heavy duty hitch, you CAN fit 285 spare but you have to deflate it a bit. Nothing a carry on tire pump can't fix.. Roughly in between 1" and 3/4" of space between the 285 spare and panhard bar
