Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

It's fresh off the boat last week from the motherland and just picked up from the dealer yesterday. Been lurking on here which didn't help the month and a half wait for it to arrive. haha! Looking forward to getting a lift and tires on soon. Coming from two Xterras and a JKU, I don't think I've ever been this excited about a vehicle.

Congrats on the purchase! Do you know what lift and tires you will be going with?

Thanks!

Initially, I'll be doing Bilstein 5100s all around, fronts set at 2.5 and a 1.5 spacer in the rear. For tires, I'll be running 285/70 BFG KO2. I had them on my Xterra and loved them.

Olathe and Hendrick said they couldn't even try and work towards the price the dealer in Arkansas offered me and no one else had an Off road premium on the lot. Actually Olathe did but with hail damage and still wanted more for that one. Luckily mine ended up being about 1.5 hours from my fiances families lake house, so it worked out with Memorial Day weekend. I decided to pay the sales tax on my own since I live in prairie village which has the lowest tax rate in Johnson county, but the thought of writing that check definitely stings a little.

Olathe didn't have a good enough trade offer so we never really got into negotiating on a 4Runner. Hendrick had us sitting in their dealership for a couple hours, only to finally lowball on trade and refuse to budge on price... I would never go back to them.

Adams maybe due to the distance, gave us a few thousand more on trade than anyone else, and gave us 10% off MSRP which was the lowest price we had found.

Sounds like everything worked out well for you, I know there is debate about rolling sales tax into a loan... but even with out of state it's easy as the bank cuts two checks... one to the dealer and one to pay sales tax at the DMV.
 
To be honest with you I drove it from the shop home and haven't noticed any. I'm running P265/70r17 Falken Wild Peaks. I will do some full lock turns front and back tomorrow and give you more specific answer. She's a mall crawler so I can't help with Off Road (flex) performance however I'm running 112-620 Toytec (Eibach) coils in the front and Wheelers T13 in the rear with Billy's x4 set at 0. Approximately 1.75" lift in the front and 1.5" in the rear. There's a 1/2" rake at the frame. Just FYI. Really love the wheel/tire combo. They stick out about 1" but are still tucked inside the fenders which shouldn't interfere with flex and throwing debris all over the sides. I'll take some more pics and post for ya. That's what this community is for.

Thanks for posting, I really wanted to see those rims on a 4runner! The ultra question: any rubbing?

I tested it full lock today and only found a minor rub on the front fender as shown in the pic. Easy fix. Mud flaps are good. Sorry I don't know how to rotate the images.

My phone rotates just fine:) I will ditch the factory tires sometime next year and may get new rims too while at it. I don't want all black rims so your photos will come really handy during decision time. If you happen to get a chance to drive in snow down the road please post an update on how the Falkens performed. Enjoy your rig!

Which lift ?

Care to elaborate on the homelink part please?

Which visor ?
Click to expand...

Thank you. The visors are Weathertech and the lift is Toytec / Bilstein 5100s. As for the homelink... what does that mean?
 
Here's mine.

SR5 4x4 on Guam

3/2 levelling kit. For the time being. Planning on getting 5100s with OME 884 coils for the front and SuperFlex Coils for the rear with Camburg Uni-Ball UCA or Total Chaos UCAs.

Wheels are Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset.
Tires are 285/70 Cooper STT pro.
