Well, I finally got my 2006 4R V8 back with the following mods done:
  • Bilstein 5100 shocks 2.5" lift
  • Daystar rear lift
  • 17" K2 Offroad Sphinx wheels, - 12 offset
  • BFG KO2 275/70R17 tires
  • Black headlights w/HID
  • Katzskin factory grey leather all 3 rows
  • WeatherTech mats front and rear
  • Change factory silver paint to metallic blue (very close to Tyndra Electric BLue Metallic)

Here are the pics (Sorry if they are the wrong size...this is the first time I have posted pics!)

Next on the list: changing the dash light color from orange to white with blue needles, then maybe a stereo).

THANKS to those that helped me with the various research I asked here!

Forgot to add that I added the rear spoiler. Sorry the wheel pics are sideways. I was trying to show how much the tires stick out in relation to the fenders. They are about 1/2 to 1" past the top center of the fender. I wanted them to stick out a little farther, but this looks great now that I see it.

I originally bought Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70R17s based on the rep at Wheelfire.com, who told me they would fit with these wheels. It turns out that they did not. They rubbed on the rear part of the front fenderwell and the body mount, and I did not want to do that mod, so I had to eat the cost and went and bought these tires instead.

I originally had decided to take the KO2s out of consideration for the new tire because I was afraid of road noise after reading lots and lots of forums here and other places. But I will tell you (for anyone considering these tires) that they are VERY quiet. They are even quieter than the stock tires they replaced. And even though they are 10 ply, they have a great ride. It really drives and sounds like a new Camry inside.

BTW, I will be posting the Falkens in the classified section as soon as I get pics of them!
 
Looks great, and that color is :AK47: but take off those hideous mudflaps! :repuke:

How much did that paint job set you back? I am thinking of painting mine, but I know a good paint job is $$$$!
 
Thanks for the compliments!

Could not keep the 285s, the KO2s are 275s

Got the headlights from here: Toyota 4Runner Aftermarket Angel Eye Halo Projector Headlights (HID Xenon)

I got a steal on the paint job- $2500 for a complete color change, including removing the doors, rear hatch, fender flares and hood so that when you open anything and look into the doorjambs or underside of the hood, it is the new color as well instead of the old silver. He gave me a great price because I have brought him a fair amount of business.

Hadn't even thought about the mudflaps, but I appreciate the advice and I think I'll go remove them right now!

That is a steal! ...and good man, I promise it will look much cleaner :bounce:
 
Not a bad price at all, looks great! I'd like to do mine it the fj cement grey in the next few years, or maybe go back with nautical blue. Can't decide
