bump! ever get your 6112's? or did you cancel and go with Kings?
Click to expand...

Nope, never got the 6112's. I was on the waiting list @ Wheelers Offroad. I called a couple of times but never had them in stock or received a call about them being back in stock. Yes, I want kings. Been keeping an eye out for a decent used set. I recently installed a Domello Off Road bumper so I need to do something with my suspension. Also installed some new uniball UCAs.

So just looking through this thread now, saw you had NVs for a while, did you run spacers with those or no? Recommend it? Would love a wide stance but dont want a rub headache.

Yes, I ran BORA 1.75" spacers on my stock TRD OR wheels. I also ran the 1.75" spacers with the NV's. Just make sure you run a quality spacer like BORA or Spidertrax. At 2.5" of lift and stock UCA's running low 2* caster I had no issues with rubbing the BM. I did a BMC just in case when off roading. Did a lot of trimming on the front bumper and fender liner.

I think he was running spacers with the NV's, see the post about him doing the BMC to prepare for NV's withs spacers... NV's are only a 0mm offset. stock trail wheel is +12 IIRC.

This is correct. Ran 1.75" spacers with TRD OR wheels and the NV's.
 
Update: Demello Off-Road bumper install.

I chose to spray paint this. No need for powder coat.

Pulled the front bumper and other parts off.

Mounted up the bumper and we had quite a few beers in preparation for cutting up a perfectly good TRD OR bumper.

Taped up the bumper. I probably adjusted this line 3 or 4 times. First I mounted up the DO bumper and measured the gap to get an idea of how much bumper was needed.

After adjusting the line a couple of times I mounted the bumper back up to see how the tape line looked. (Not Pictured) I then removed the bumper and adjusted the line once more before cutting.

Measure a lot, cut once.

After some careful cutting, this is what I ended up with.

Pro Tip: After making the final cut I used a Dura bloc with sandpaper to even out the edge and make it flush as possible and remove any waves.

After test fitting everything, I realized more bumper needed to be trimmed.

Here is the final product. I need to remove the bumper and trim some more to make room for flex. I don't have enough gap at the moment. Looks good for the parking lot though.

Ordered up some Cali Raised 3x2 LEDs. They were plug and play to the factory harness with the supplied adapters. Great price and they get the job done.

Also, I added uniball UCA's and mounted up some new 285/70R17 Ridge Grapplers. Wanted to switch it up from the KO2's I had been running the past 25k miles.

Saw this in person in town and about broke my neck staring at it. Looks great and I need to get plugged into this group for some rides.

haha, thanks man. I think I saw you pulling into the wally world the other day? I usually see you by my wife's office and Mexican restaurant. Shoot me a DM on Instagram and we can get you in the loop for the next trip!

So you went from Gobi, to Prinsu, to no rack? What happened?
Click to expand...

I ordered a Gobi 20 weeks ago. In that time I picked up a used Gobi rack to try out. Sold it. Bought a Prinsu to see if I liked that. Decided I like the Gobi the best. This week I got shipping confirmation and the new Gobi should be here next week!

The Prinsu is a really nice roof rack. Fast shipping, great customer service, and quality product. Just didn't flow like I wanted it to. I think the Gobi looks better and meets all my needs as far as function.

That bumper looks great! How many people have asked if you got it because of Black Panther lol
Click to expand...

Ha, thanks! I haven't even seen the movie. This bumper is off one of the many 4Runners built for the movie. The company that built the 4R's for the movie parted some items out after filming and I was able to grab one for a good price. I know two other guys that run them now.

Funny thing is, I had no plans on seeing Black Panther. This bumper is what makes me want to rent it at redbox when it comes out haha.

Wish I would have known about that deal! Haha, I'm not big on super hero movies besides Batman, but my wife knows I only want to see this because it has 4runners in it lol.

Yeah man that was me. My office is right near there and we are always at the sushi place by Publix.

I don't have IG unfortunately. Are you hooked up through the Atlanta 4Runners group or something?

I have never met any of the Atlanta 4Runner guys. Most my friends have Tacoma's, ha. I am on the site and plan to attend their dinner tonight @ The Wind Cafe & Tap House @ 6pm if you want to join? I'll send you a PM with my info.

Had you already drilled the holes for the front supports of the Prinsu? If so, what did you do to plug 'em?
 
Gased up last weekend and went to check out a waterfall with some friends.

I have about 1500 miles on the new 285 RGs. So far they have been great. They look much better/bigger than my 285 KO2's. I will be swapping these out for 295/70r17 RG's next week.
