RedRunner's 2016 SR5 Build and Adventure Thread

Thanks - already have plug and play 4pcs but like these way better. Are they easily swappable plug into my existing or entirely different wiring?

You would have to some wiring. As long as you can connect the positive/Negative from the plug and play to the new ones you should be good.
 
THE last trail run of the trip, which happened to the be the hardest trail run. We decided to tackle Top of the World to get that iconic picture at the top. This trail was super super tough to run though.

I had to give my buddies 255/80 spare back and had to switch to the stock spare on the drive back

Hey man thanks for sharing all of the pictures and information. It's been super helpful as I plan upgrades for my '18 SR5 Premium. I had a quick question about two things:
1. Are you running the stock spare tire on the spare rim or a Falken? It looks like the stock tire but I just wanted to reconfirm.

2. With you Ironman 4x4 FCP stage 3 (mine is currently in boxes in the garage, still deciding if I'm going to put it on myself or bring it in to a local shop) and the Falken 255/80/17 on stock SR5 rims, are you getting any rubbing? I've been trying to decide between going up to a 275/70/17 or 255/75/17, but you're giving me more food for thought.

3. How much time was there between putting the new suspension on and getting the alignment done?

Thanks in advance!

1) That is the stock spare. From my research you can run the stock size spare on the front, as long as you are not running 4WD. I drove home 600+ miles like that and had no issues. I will be getting a full size spare this winter.

2) I have no rubbing at all. I was rubbing the Body Mount before the lift with 255/80's and wheel spacers. But with the lift I am not rubbing at all.

3) I waited I think 2 weeks before I did an alignment. I wanted the front to settle a little bit.
 
Totally forgot to post these. We did a quick Color Changing run when my buddy bought his 1st Gen Tundy

Last weekend we did a run from Canon City to Cripple Creek back to Colorado Springs. We went from sunny 62 degrees in Canon City to snowy mountains and freezing in Colorado Springs. I think this was the last trip for The Lamb(2nd Gen 4Runner), as it developed rod knock climbing the snowy hill.

Hard to see but the snow capped mountains in the background were absolutely stunning!

THE LAST HILL CLIMB for The Lamb

This spot was super rutted and super icy. Took me 3 times to get over but the 'ol girl made it!

Switch from Amsoil to Shell Rotella and no Kirkland Brand. Going to do a oil analysis done to see how it stacks up.

Interested in the results! I have used Super Tech, now Shell Rotella because I got a bunch for free, but have been eyeing Kirkland as well because of the price.
