Greetings from MotoIQ!
MotoIQ is traditionally an automotive engineering media site that is dedicated to racecar engineering. This is their first divergence into the arena of offroading!
We are brand new to this community but have been huge Toyota offroading fans for years! We'd like to introduce our project 4Runner.
This 4Runner is a long time dream made true. It all started in 2007 when we sold my beloved ’99 SR5 4WD 4Runner to get two new cars – with the best of intentions. Well…we began this new adventure in March, when we traded in my husband's diesel Excursion and came home with a 2013 SR5 White 4Runner 4WD. We already a vision for it: to build a technically proficient off road truck while maintaining on road performance. We opted for the SR5 for the 3rd row seat as well as the lower cost.
We spent the summer working with Icon, TRD and Nitto proposing and planning and here is Part 1!
We elected Icon's Stage V kit, TRD wheels and Nitto 295/70 R17 tires. There are many details and thoughts on the current state of the vehicle as well as plans for moving forward. While we have a clear understanding of automotive media, we humbly submit our initial build to your thoughts, ideas, concerns and desires! Give us some feedback on your experiences and let's meet up on some trails!
To get started, here are few pictures. You can read the whole article on MotoIQ.
