2005 T4R SR5. Bought it completely stock with about 82k on it. Installed the Toytec 3" FJ Lift Kit W/Spacers & Rear Coils on her about a month and a half ago. The shoes are 255/75/17 Nitto Trail grapplers. It sits a little higher in the back so I'm planning on getting some adjustable Bilstein shocks for the front to raise it a little. Runs at about 17.1 mpg in the city according to the computers in the truck (never bothered with the math). After the tires and lift install its running at about 15.3 mpg city. Managed to get 11.2 mpg after towing a uhaul for 5 hours on the highway. Absolutely love the rig,wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe a 5th gen lol.

Couldn't figure out how to resize the images so I guess everyone can just click them to see the full size.

Looks awesome! Are those aftermarket headlights?

thanks! yes, they are the Spyder blackouts, purchased on autoanything. poor quality imo, but for the price i'm satisfied (though i would've paid more for higher quality, seems there arent many options out there). i had to drill out a little area for a tab they neglected to cut out, and then had issues with foggy lens/water getting inside. i ran a bead of sealant around the outside of the housing and that seems to have fixed the problem for the most part. still gets a little foggy every now and then. eventually id like to make a weekend project of baking/painting my OEM lights to have as backups

Doesn't matter what we think we're not driving it ....what's your opinion of it?

It must have looked better stock, cause it sits and looks like pure doo doo and you should go ask for a refund on the suspension and cladding!! It's a disgrace to 4th gens. You should stay driving your Benz and leave the 4runners to us.

Need anymore opinions? Hahahaha j/k wish I could see the look on your face ..I had to do it brotha.

Lmao!
Looks good by the way.

Looks great, how is the ride quality? Was the install super easy? Where is that pic taken?



Thanks!

Install only took about 5 hours on the rancho setup. I did a complete front suspension rebuild at the same time; control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, and steering linkages. It's a nice ride all around and great off road.

The photo was taken in the Bisti Badlands; I live in the 4 corners area and it's one of my favorite hiking spots.

06 sr5 4runner lift new tires

Bilstein 5100's shocks on all 4 sides front shocks adjusted to the highest setting 2.5. Rear has 1.5 inch daystar spacers. 2016 toyota 4runner 17 inch rims wrapped in 265/70/r17 nitto terra grappler g2's. It's great I love everything about my 4runner. Probably do a 1 inch body lift in the future or install fj cruiser springs. Maybe both. In both these pictures it's lifted one is with stock 06 4runner rims stock tires and the other with the 2016 rims and nitto terra grapplers. Picture on the bottom is my 4runner bone stock before I lifted

I've got Bilstein 5100's set at 1.75" with stock coils. It's got the factory size 265/65r17 tires on it. I'm pretty happy with how it sits right now. I wouldn't mind getting some FJ coils though sometime.

What offset did you go with?

Aloha friend! I don't know the exact offset of the rims because I bought the set with tires off Craigslist but they are near stock offset. I've got wheel spacers on it as well. Worked out well for a hodgepodge lift and tires lol catch you late....HH
