OG 5th Gen 10-13 models

Eight years and 120,000 miles driven and I still love my 2010 TE as much as the day I bought it. A few months back I contemplated upgrading to a new 4Runner but really couldn't find a reason to.

Well - maybe if I could find one in that burnt orange color :wow2:

2010 Trail getting ready to hit 65k miles since new . No repairs and no interest in anything else .
Well maybe a new LC .
 
Definitely has been said a few times in this thread but these Pre-Facelift 4Runners look amazing.

I was originally looking for a 2014+ but have changed my search over to a 2010-2013 4Runner. Hoping to have one myself in the near future!

I agree, the look of the 2014+ was ruined for me by the stormtrooper helmets in the newer Star Wars trilogy; they look so similar I can't unsee it (especially in white of course).

I know the stock approach angle isn't as good on the earlier ones but I'm driving my 2010 as-is until something rips the stock air dam off :D
 
Perfect setup IMO

What type of work went into fitting those tires under the 4Runner? Coming from a 2nd Gen Tacoma body mount chops are fairly common and a lot of trimming for anything bigger than a 265/75/17 tire.


Most guys are fitting 33s (285/70-17) with barely any modifications necessary. Read into it a little here. It’s been covered extensively or PM me and I’ll fill you in so as not to cause more clutter.

Glad I seen this thread! I would agree, Best year range 10-13! Well except the 1996-1997 :D Need to ask a question since this may be the right thread. I have some 5100s coming in and wanted to add some wheels later. I am looking at the Black Rhino Stadium 17x9.5 -18 with 285/70. Does anyone have any experience with 9.5 inch or -18 wheels? Im looking into seeing what else mods would I need to get so they do not rub. Or if someone can point me into the right direction.

You are absolutely going to rub with that width and offset. You’ll need UCAs and a body mount chop for sure. I’d strongly consider changing the parameters of your wheel selection.

That is what I was afraid of. I was also looking at -12 with 9 inch wide Fuel Shok. Would this still cause major modifications or do I need to look at 0 offset?

Thanks for your input!
 
Each rig varies. Please PM me with any other questions or search. There’s a thread about “will it fit” that covers at length these things.

In short, with a 9” wheel you should be at 0 offset unless you wanna chop. You may still need to at that.

I now have a '20 ORP due to stupidly buying another Wrangler. I miss my '10 TE and liked it much more than the '20. It looked much better than the new ones and seemed to do everything better... responsiveness, gas mileage, hands-free bluetooth, had a better dash display, etc.

Wow. That’s crazy to hear. I know Toyota hasn’t done much to the Runner but you’d think there’d be some improvement in the 10 year span. Thanks for sharing. Super interesting to hear and great shot there!

Here's mine. Basically I've added as stuff wears out so I haven't done a huge amount. It's slowly retiring from daily use so I will be doing more in the future. ODO is at 260,000km and with the new wheels and pedal commander it honestly feels like a new vehicle. My wife dailies it and gets comments regularly. I say I see 20 to 1 facelift to OG around here so it's nice to have, trails are even more rare.

Still loving Mine...

Getting close to 150k on my '11. Bought new and has gone through a few phases. At one point I considered going newer, but everything I have on here, for the most part, can easily transfer to a 14-21 if I ever need to. Want to get every bit of mileage out of this one that I can.

I've had my '10 Trail for about 9 months now and couldn't be happier. It had high miles (160k) but thats never been a concern of mine, and it is pretty obvious the PO took great care of it. I hope to get at least another 160k to put it on par with the 3rd gens my family has owned over the years. Mods are incoming too, have the lo pro bumper, waiting on a winch and sliders and a space in my garage to open up to install everything, haha. Oh, and the lights on the rack are getting updated too, I was experimenting with putting them at the front of the stock rack.
