Not too shabby for an 11 year old beast. We’ve been through a lot, almost sold her a time or two, but glad I kept her in the end. I almost traded her in for a 3rd gen Taco but figured a refresh on mods was easier than the new car payment. Still some things coming but she’s getting close. I’ll drive it till the wheels fall off, but not because of a bad wheel bearing as I replaced those lol.

Looking good! I had thought about selling mine a time or too as well. Not sure I ever will. She will be 17 in Nov.

looking for some guidance here; i will be installing the following suspension components and upgrading my tires. Will the tires interfere with my uca without having to run wheel spacers? trying to save some dollars and keep my stock wheels util i decide on what aftermarket wheels to purchase.
-King Shocks front/rear w/adjusters; lift front 2.5" rear 2.0"
-Total Chaos uca
-Icon 2" rear coil
-Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70/17
TC UCA’s 285’s and stock wheels? You’re gonna have to buy spacers at least. I’m almost positive you’re gonna rub on the UCA.

What kind of wheels? You might need to do body mount chop with those tires, the Ridge Grapplers are a wider tire in compared to others in the hybrid class. I run same size tires on Methods 17x8.5 0 offset would rub only extreme flex. Now body mount chopped and added body lift no rub at all.
285/70 is about 33 inches tall, 11.3+ inches wide
Btw just heads up but you should ask the guys in the 5th gen threads since they would know more about spacing on your 5th gen.
5th gen trail wheels that comes stock; yeah I'll move this over to the 5th gen folks. thanks!
Here is my 4runner, just lifted this past weekend :guitar2:
285/75r16 Falken Wildpeak MT's
16 inch SCS Gunmetal SR8's
1.25 inch Spidertrax Spacers
3 inch RC Lift (Including XReas, surprisingly amazing ride quality)
Had to do a lot of cutting including cutting the front bumper but it turned out great. Also can't wait for the SRQ Retrofits to come in next week :high5:

2006 T4R SR5 V6 4x4
Supreme Suspension 3/2 spacer lift
Havok H110 20x9x-12
Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/55R20
Removed front mud guard and running boards
Minor trimming and heat gun. Slight rub in reverse.
Yakima rack (freebie)
Eibach Pro Truck Lift Kit (E80-82-073-01-22) I ended up with 2.25" lift in front and 1" in the rear after it settled. I am running 265/65/17 Cooper HTP tires currently. Planning on maybe falken at3w in 265/70/17 maybe another brand haven't completely decided yet but probably won't go any larger than 275. 2004 v8 4x4
