My new off road premium

[darkfader]

I'm back in a 4Runner and I love it. My last runner was 20 years older than this one, and a tiny bit rustier. Traded my Tacoma for this guy.

First on the list is tinting the front windows, then raising the front. I'll probably go with the toytec coilovers, but not totally decided on that, along with an airlift for the rear to help with my race trailer.

The Tacoma was real good to me, but I'm pretty excited about this new 4Runner.

I'll use this thread to document mods and adventures rather than start a new thread.

Nice looking trucks!

It looks great! Congratulations darkfader!

Congratulations, great color choice. the classic silver metallic really looks good on this body style. Good luck with it and Let the mods begin.

Let us know what options you have, maybe add it to your signature.

Welcome to the club!

Thanks guys!

I need to update the sig for sure, but being fresh off the lot I'm all stock for now. Besides standard equipment found on the off road premium, my factory options are:

KDSS
moonroof
Running boards
All weather mats
Door edge guards(look like a great spot for dirt to hide, didn't ask for these)
Roof rack cross bars

I've already got an appointment for tint. I'll have the dealer install remote start before cold weather sets in. I DEFINITELY want to lift it up a little and get some more aggressive tires asap, but after doing all that to the Tacoma, I want to do my due diligence in researching exactly what I want to suit my needs before I make any purchases.

I will haul a 6x12 enclosed V-nose with the race bike, tools, and gear up to a dozen times a year, so I want to be sure I get the right setup to accommodate that.

The Tacoma had 5100's and Firestone ride-rite airbags and towed the race rig like a dream.

We also have a 17' OR Premium with KDSS, no sunroof. I would skip the dealer remote start. My wife had to have it. It's a long install process at the dealer. It has an extremely limited range. The one thing that worked better on the previous Jeep was the remote start. Check on aftermarket options. The official Toyota remote start is not worth the money.

Thanks guys!

I'll second the aftermarket remote start. Do a search on here for the Remote Start PSA thread. I did the Compustar from GShadow, the install isn't that hard, and it works great.

Nice looking ride! I had a 2000 Toyota Tacoma and rolled it over with less then 1000 miles on it. While I was on the roof sliding down the road the top started to open like a can opener to a tuna can but that truck saved my life. I'm surprised the roof didn't collapse and crush me. I walked away with a few scrapes after freeing myself from the seatbelt and crawling out. You can't go wrong with a Yota

Congrats. I like that you matched your 4Runner to your CBR track bike. I have a red 4Runner and a red CBR track bike, lol. Must be something about matching motorcycles and 4Runners. I went to WVU and did my first track day in 2012 at Summit Point. Enjoy the 4Runner!

Sweet! I go to summit all the time! Trying to hit Aug 13&14. What orgs do you ride with usually?

Here's a better pic of track build. Did the whole thing myself starting with a bare frame.

 

[jdubb2386]

Very nice!

I live out in Seattle now. We have a bunch of track day organizations out here with the closest track being only about 25 minutes away! I'm actually headed to Oregon Raceway Park for a double this weekend.

Here's mine...same year range. I built mine off of a wrecked track bike.

So far I'm enjoying the new ride. It's got all the things I wanted the Tacoma to have, like heated seats and side mirrors, nicer stereo among other things. So far, I've debadged the C-pillars, and today, I got the front windows and visor tinted. Looks good so far, but I'm dying to lift it a little. After reading so much about KDSS lean, I just can't decide what to get. I prefer an adjustable coilover so I can fine tune ride height to eliminate lean, but I like the 6112/5160 combo price. Am I guaranteed a lean after lifting if I sit dead level on the stock suspension? I had 5100's at 1.75" on the Tacoma and was level after the lift, but I kept the stock springs. Really confused and I've read all the threads a couple times.

Anyway, here's a pic of the new tint. I'm pleased with it.
