Daytonaviolet's build thread

[daytonaviolet]

Man i'm glad i found this thread, i have a 2012 Limited that i'm currently in the process of converting to a TRD look. Scrolling through your build, you make it very easy to plan out the build. Thanks and look forward to picking your brain about some mods.

5th Gen 4runner Limited To TRD

Recently added the C4 high clearance additions. I opted not to use the door trim moldings to give it a cleaner look

do you notice any difference in ride with the added weight of the C4 bumper?

Not at all. But then again I don’t have the winch installed yet.

Hey, will you put the Black TRD PRO badging? Since i think you have everything on there thats TRD PRO and even then some.. It will look great with the Blizzard Pearl.

Hmmmm this forum name seems familiar? M3forum member before it went down?

Lloyd what’s up!! [emoji41]

Yup same guy .. lol. I wasn’t aware M3Forum went down. What happened ? I sold the m3 few years ago but still drive the X5m.

I thought your username sounded familiar! [emoji41]

Love what you’ve done with the 4RUNNER! Looks Great man!!

Here is our 2015. It’s currently at the dealer getting a leaking timing cover resealed. Still have the E46 M3 as well.

Mind sharing your light bar brackets. Just got the Extreme Led x6s and trying to figure out how people are mounting them on the Gobi rack.

Hey do you still have the Google Doc for the bumper conversion? Do you remember what you ended up paying on just the parts?

 

[Steve40th396]

When you changed the bumper out, did you have to change the lower bracket that attaches to the headlight, as there are two different types on a 4runner..
Limited has a different bracket..

Sick build bro!!! Im going from 285/70/17 Nittos, to 315s next week....lets see what I have to do!!! I did a BMC myself with an angle grinder...5min work.....only needed the driver side.....Now with the Total chaos upper and lowers, and the front fender mod, tons of space.....may have to do a passenger side BMC, I'll post up pics......love what you've done.

Yes. I had to use a non-limited lower headlight bracket

You might also need to chop some plastic and support brackets on front side of rockers

I have a custom one

Referencing your first picture and noticing the garage door height, if you plan to continue parking in the garage you might want to make sure that you can clear the garage door. The new suspension, lift, and 2019 TRD Pro roof rack might create a clearance issue. Just a thought.

DON'T use the published SPEC from Toyota -----its misrepresented.

The 22 TRD PRO is 77 inches Tall ---- NOT 72 inches

I know this because I asked prior to buying the PRO and the spec in the brochure is wrong and Toyota Brand Engagement gave me the wrong info in writing claiming it was 72 inches tall!!! Just a warning
