Documenting My 4th gen build!

[Parkss1181]

So I got a (new to me) new 4th gen a few months ago and so far am loving it! I purchased it for 6k and it has 108k on the car, 1 owner car fax, EVERY service, oil change, what ever you can think of has always been “stealer” maintained so that was the kicker for me to go get this thing and traveled 3 hours to go get it. None the less I am super happy with the runner. It’s a sport addition V6 sr5, pretty much the base model since there really are no options in it at all but that doesn’t bother me one bit. So far what I’ve done to the runner is
-weather tech window visors

-20% tint to match privacy glass

-new spec D headlights

-laser fitted floor mats front and back row (got off eBay that was listed for a 2009-2015 4runner lol but took the risk and ordered them and they fit perfectly! Paid 65 as opposed to 200 for the weather tech mats.

-Sony Apple car play radio, remote start, and back up cam installed (Ordered a USB adapter and drilled the bottom storage tray to look factory for the car play port.)

-plate shades

-all LED interior lighting

And that’s it for now but I plan on installing a 32” light bar in the bottom grill

Heated seats and clazzio seat covers

3” lift on 20x12 hard rock crushers and 33’s (don’t worry I’m aware of the body mount chop, and good amount of plastic cutting)

So far I’ve done everything my self and only had the radio put in.. can’t wait to get the build really moving!! Here are some below pics of what I have done. The pics with the bumper bars are when I first got it.

And the wheels I’m looking to get, tires are still in debate

It looks like you got a great deal, good work!

Nice deal!

One thing that is making me grit my teeth is your 4WD selector halfway between H2 and H4!

Are you planning to do a diff drop or anything with the 3" lift? I've heard the angles can cause issues with the axles.

Lmao! I actually hit it when I was taking the picture and put it back after realizing when I re-read my post lol don’t worry That was just a mistake.

The only thing I’m having a little bit of trouble with decisions are the tires... I’m thinking I want 285/55r/20’s on the wheels above, and with a 3 inch lift and body mount chop I assume that should only leave some slight rubbing at full turn still on the hunt for tires though

Since the 285/55r/20’s are 32.3 inches tall, only little bit taller than stock.

Good luck fitting those wheels man. I run 17x9 -38 with 285/70/17. BMC, 1" body lift and 3" suspension. Lift and sometimes still rub a bit on the rear of the front fender near pinch weld.

Yeah I’m thinking for sure I’m gonna be doing the body chop kit, flatten the pinch welds and also of course trim all mud flaps and push front fender forward.. should be little to no rubbing after that. and I’m gonna be running 20x12 -44 offset and in also thinking I’m gonna be doing 3 inch lift with 1 inch body lift.

UPDATE: added viper smart start module onto my already existing viper remote start, can start the car anywhere in the world or unlock from my phone. Definitely worth it to me

You definitely got a great deal on you 4Runner! BUT....I am not a fan of your wheel choice, not the right look/style for a 4Runner.

UPDATE! I have decided on Atturo trail blades A/T’s, the tires are 285/55r/20 and the dimensions come out to 32.3 inches tall. And 11.2 inches in width, with the -44 offset on the rims I’m looking to do along with the 3 inch lift (maybe 1 inch body lift too not sure yet) I think I may be good on rubbing or maybe just have some slight rubbing after doing a body chop, flattening the pinch welds, and trimming a lot of plastic... any thoughts ??

Bump on thoughts for clearance?

You are dealing with a wheel and tire package not many, if anyone has tried on this forum. Might be hard to get a response about clearance!

Gotcha. The set up is from customoffsets.com and they claim to have done it with the above mods and trimming for no rubbing or only slight rubbing at full turn.. sounds like I’ll have to update as I go when I find out! Won’t have the wheels for a few months but I’ll update when I do try out the fitment.

Rear spoiler got installed today! Only took about an hour and a half and carful drilling to line up the holes and prep work... prep work is key in this!
