Official Army Green 2020 TRD Pro thread

Ditched my black wheels, tires and Cornfed spacer lift and replaced them with bronze SCS wheels, Cooper Discover STT Pro tires and Icon Stage 6 lift.:cheers:

Rig looks perfect man! Any feedback on Cooper Discover STT Pro tires driving during rain/snow/ice yet?

 

[stewtopia]

Looks awesome!

Hey Chris, Your Pro looks awesome!! Now you make me not want to put the spacer lift on just looking at your Pro. That’s what I was looking for pics with the BR6’ wheels with the black and bronze. The solid black and black and bronze you cannot go wrong with. Both look awesome.

So far i've got about 15 miles on them, but I can tell you, they are loud! lol Way louder than my Ridge Grappler's, but then again, it's a mud/trail tire vs a all terrain tire.

Driving it, it doesn't feel like the truck is struggling anymore than with my 285's, and it pulled those just fine. These Coopers are 295's...I originally had 305's on it immediately following the new lift, and even with a BMC and trimming the bumper, it still rubbed too much for my taste. And obviously my -38 offset on the new wheels has a lot to do with that. But Discount Tire swapped them out for me at no additional cost to me. Gotta love their customer service!

Thing is nasty!! Can I suggest your next upgrade being to replace that FJ rack!? Such as:

5th Gen 4Runner Roof Rack | 2010-2020 4Runner | Sherpa Equipment Co. — Sherpa Equipment Company

or

LFD Off Road - Full 5th Gen 4Runner Roof Rack - Aluminum

My SSO rack will be here sometime next week. I HATE the Pro/FJ rack

Same here I just didn't want to sound rude hahaha. Post pictures when you get it put on!

Haha nah man, you're all good. I think people either love or hate the rack. I'm in the hate column. I think it looks pretty decent on the FJ, but as long as the 4runner is compared to the FJ, it just looks weird. If it were slightly shorter and a little longer, that may have looked much better in my opinion.

RusPro, Whar sliders do you have? Can you get me a closer pic?

Looks like the same sliders that I have on mine - Shrockworks flat dimpled thread plate sliders.

Edit: Take that back, RusPro’s looks slightly different

I wanted more lift. I've spoke to several people that said that King list their lift at 0-3" and Icon list theirs at 0-3.5". I was looking to get at least 3" but didn't want to fully max out the suspension. So ended up with the extended travel Icon's

I've only put about a 100 miles on it so far, and the shop had it set to the softest setting which was softer than my factory Fox setup. I'll stiffen up tomorrow, but so far it feels good, even soft. The body roll and nose dive has been drastically reduced.

Just to make sure I'm thinking about this correctly - you're essentially at 3/2 over a factory non-Pro, or 2/2 over a factory Pro, right?

I like the small amount of lift/rake with 1.5/1 cornfed, but I'm considering ditching it for Icon since I've already done the UCAs.

Mine are Tyger steps bought on amazon. Love them. Had them on my 17 Pro now on my 2020 Pro.

My spacers were 2" front and 1.5" rear. I didn't take any measurements before the Icon so I don't know exact numbers of the before and after.

I'm going to reach out to Toyota on Monday. It's my bad for not looking, I had just flew in from NJ and drove 1.5 hours to go pick it up. We where in a hurry because we just got a Texas Heeler and wanted to get back home to him. My wife was worried about how load it was going to be and I was going to pull it and trade with someone. She loves it, I have a 17 TRD OR Tacoma that I'v put a lot of work in and she liked driving it so she told me she wanted the AG Pro 4Runner. I'm going to put sliders on and maybe level it out.

My dealer just let me know they are ordering the TRD exhaust and will install it.

Not sure how many others are waiting on the Eibach Fox Pro lift coils, but thought I would share more info I came across on the GXOR FB group:

The specs of the front coils for the TRD Fox Pro setup is 12.6" long, 600lb, 2.5" inner diameter.

The original poster apparently has a friend that works for Fox and got him this info. In discussing lifts, they mentioned one big potential issue that arises from either a spacer lift or coil lift is that the TRD Pro shock has 4 compression and 3 rebound zones, so if you extend (or contract with weight) the coilover too much you will be riding in the incorrect zone,making the ride either too stiff or too soft at an inopportune time.

The Fox employee thought a 0.4" longer coil would be perfect but thought much taller could move you to the wrong zone.

What this mean, is that you *could potentially* use a readily available major brand coilover coil to gain a small lift. One they were going to use is the standard Icon 13" 650lb coil spring. (With it being only 0.4" taller)

ICON 13" X 650 LB COIL SPRING FOR 2.5" COILOVERS

If my math is correct, (And it may not be..not my strong suit) a 0.4" longer spring that also has a stiffer rate should give at least 0.8-1" lift.

I'm waiting to hear back from Ryan at Eibach to hear their thoughts on this.. and what length/weight of spring they are using for their 1.8" lift.

For all I know the info given could be completely wrong... but they did seem to have more info than I had seen previously.
Anyways, do with this what you will, and use at your own discretion.

From what I read in Ryan's thread, looks like they're using a 575lb spring. I'm guessing it's a 14" spring to get us a 1.8" lift, but that's not confirmed. He did however confirm the 575lb rate...

Thats why Id like to know more.. I dont know if the Pro really needs a lighter spring, but perhaps it would work well. If they did go the route of a 14" spring, maybe a lighter spring is the compromise of the 14 vs a 13 to make it work.

If you could do 14" with less than 600, you could start looking at the King springs as well.

Loving the 4Runner so far! And yes, it currently proudly serves as a grocery runner. Hopefully I’ll be able to take it out on some trails this year!

Agreed. Ya, King is one way to go, but I want the red springs. If Eibach makes those springs in any other color than red, I would go King or Icon all the way. Change the whole suspension at that point.
