[ads2539]

My 2004 Limited with Daystar 2.5”/1.5” spacers and the Toytec 1” body lift kit. Pic in the rear wheel well shows the gap between the chassis and the body after the body lift.

16” port/dealer installed rims (bought used) and 265/75r16 Dick Cepek tires, ~31.9” diameter. Originally had 17” rims. “Winter” tires 255/80r17 Toyo AT2 tires on 5th gen 7 spoke rims, ~33.1” diameter. Running boards removed.

OME 889 rear springs from an FJ & 3" OME shocks.

2003 Limited V8 4x4

Wheels:
TRD Pro 17x7

Tires:
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 275/70R17

Lift:
Bilstien 5100 with OME lift springs
Front: 5100 set on the second perch setting with 885 springs
Rear: OME 895 spring, will be going to 896 next weekend to aid with extra rack weight/tent

other modifications:
-front bumper trim
-front inner liner trim/relocation
-front fenders (towards the driver/passenger doors) trimmed
-rear fender trimmed
-CV boots with replaced heavy duty worm clamps, factory clamps weren't tight enough to keep the grease in and started oozing. So far 200 miles with new clamps and no leaking issues.

-diff drop and sway bar relocation on the way, not yet installed.
-longer rear sway bar links going on when 896 springs arrive
-front sway bar links will be custom sourced from McMaster parts, aiming to have adjustments and be slightly shorter than factory.

Man that looks great! I miss my silver 4R. Do you have any more pictures of your bumper trim?

Are the sliders the modern taco/runner sliders from factory?

They are actually not sliders, they are the NFAB nerf bars I got off of ebay. I really wanted to put some sliders on but with the rest of the build already going over budget I couldn't get myself to pay more than double the price..

Thanks! It's been a fun, quick evolving build.

I trimmed the bumper along the factory body lines under the fog lights and rounded it off a bit, and did the same going up to the fender

Not completely on my own, my buddy does re-gears so we did it at his place. We knocked in out in about 8-10hrs.

I've been lurking on this site for about a year now, ever since I got a 2004 sr5. I would never have tried to do the whole lift myself if it had not been for the threads on here, but a couple weeks back me, my dad, and my son spent a loooong Saturday putting putting Bilstein 5100's, FJ springs, a Daystar rear lift, and some Falken 285's on this guy and I'm loving it. The only issue we had was replacing the front driver side UCA. The previous bolt was STUCK and it took a saw and a gear puller to finally pop that thing out. Thanks to everyone! I have spent HOURS reading through this site.

Good on you for learning to do it yourself. Saved about 1k depending on labor in your area. Tires look good! I have the same ones and love them.

Wow clean set up! I think I’m going to keep my stock 17’s (same as yours) and do the lift/tires on my galactic gray mica. You inspired me to stay with the OEM look bc I cannot find a aftermarket wheel that I like or will look good in a year or 2.
