Awesome looking truck! I recently put on a 3" suspension lift too and I'm looking into getting a 3" body lift to run 35s myself. I think the only 3" body lift available is from 4crawler and so what all components did you order and how did you place the order? I was kind of confused on the website haha

Thank you! And i got mine form toytec lifts. It comes with the body lift and it comes with the steering shaft extension and the radiator drop brackets. The only thing that you would have to get separately would be the front bumper relocating brackets. I will probably go with a regear and 35's this summer.

They have a 3" body lift? I thought the max they had was a 2"? Do you have a link for it? and oh ok what gears and tires are you thinking of going with? I was probably going to do 4.88's but I wonder if I have to do 5.29's?

Oh yes lol I only have a 2" my bad. 4.88 should be enough for me... My speedometer isn't off with the 33's and my gas mileage is the same with the stock gearing. I just don't want the 35's to take their toll on my transmission. And I'll probably go with the Goodyear duratracs again. I like how they look and how they drive. I'm also considering km2's but they're pretty expensive

Oh aite haha. How is the quality of the toytec BL? and what made you want to do a 2" instead of a 3"? And oh ok gotcha.

I havent put the body lift on yet. I got it for christmas and i am waiting until my spring break to put it on. I got a 2" instead of a 3" just because i needed it to clear my tires. They barely rub at all but i want to eliminate all of the rubbing. I didnt want a 3" because then you can start to tell a lot that theres a body lift on and i dont like when you can tell. Like i said im going to 35's this summer so ill need extra clearance and i can always trim more.

Oh ok gotcha. Yeah the 3" is a bit extreme but it makes our runners sit nice and tall haha. and thats awesome i cant wait to see it!

After a much needed wash. Needless to say that It snowed the very next day. I haven't seen the ground here in PA since December

 

[coltonbaxter31]

I got an exhaust tip back in the summer and I wasn't too sure how I liked it. It was chrome and I'm not the biggest fan of chrome. So I just left it on and then I guess it fell off last week on the PA turnpike on my commute back to school. I then realized that I definitely like the looks of the exhaust tip.
AFTER THE TIP FELL OFF:

AFTER GETTING A NEW TIP:

 

[coltonbaxter31]

I need new ideas for exterior! I always like to change things up. I was thinking of getting some LED light bars.

Suggestions?

Good lookin truck. We have a similar wheel/tire/spacer combo. Love the treads sticking out of the fenders ...

Bumper looks awesome too, I'm slowly saving for the same one!

Thanks you and i love the duratracs. Ill be getting 35 inch duratracs this summer. I also love my bumper. Yours will look sick with the all black 4runner if you end up get the 4x innovation.

Here is the status of my other build that me and my brother are doing.
1994 jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L I-6
2 inch spacer lift
1.25 inch wheel spacers
265 Duratracs
Procomp 16" rims
Completely new interior
New carpet
Alpine head unit
4 new kicker speakers

We just got it this summer for 500 dollars. It smelled like smoke and all 4 of its floor pans were completely rusted out. You could see the ground when you were driving. We replaced all 4 manually and put new carpets and seats in manually. We've already put in triple the amount of money we bought it for and there is more to come.

Just ordered a 4xinnovations Rear Bumper!

I cant wait to get the 4runner out of the parking lot and take it on a couple trails this summer. She's been too inactive even though i try to run her as much as i can.

4xinnovation rear bumper finally came!
