You'll dig the bumper man. Got one on mine. It's real solid. You'll definitely want a longer spring though. I have OME 891's on mine and the rear is pretty low. Only about 1.5" higher than stock. I do have a fridge in the back too though.
That looks great! Man, everyone here really does a great job of taking kick-ass photos. And nice to see it in the same trim. It seems like the majority of 4runners have some sort of fender flares. I had the same chrome ones, and now I don't have any.
I can't wait to get everything together and do some exploring. As far as springs go, I am currently just running LC 7 wraps. I know a few people use LC 8 or 9 wraps, but I want to make sure they can handle the weight, so I will probably just pick up 861s. They seem to be the go-to coil for swing outs.
Rad man. 4xinnovations I'm assuming.
My electrical system is done other than the winch. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with it. Right now the positive wire is just coiled by the battery. When I want to use it I just undo the wingnut on the positive terminal and hook the winch up that way. I've thought about wiring in a kill switch but the only place I have room to mount it is on the fan shroud. If I ever go with a dual battery set up that's gonna hose me. I might just leave it like I have it and just connect it every time before I go wheeling. It takes all of 2 minutes.
Yes sir. 4XInnovations. The more I looked at all the options, the more, I came to like what they had to offer. I also like the modular aspect of the Savage Offroad rear bumper. I was on the waiting list, but this gave me some time to weigh my options.
I have been waiting to do a few electrical things all at one time. My goal is to not set my rig on fire. [MENTION=116387]Unner[/MENTION] has a cool winch kill switch on his rig that I would like to incorporate as an option. Check his build out. If I recall it is a marine style dial that opens and closes the circuit. Winches seem to be able to kill batteries fast, so having a bit of extra insurance never hurts. But having it discoed for use when you need it works too.
BTW, I know it was a little extra work, but that bumper looks great on your 4runner! Have you come to any decision on wheels, or size wheels? I was very tempted to get some fancy pants SCS Ray 10s. I dig those a lot. My other favorites are SCS 5 stars, and FN 5-Stars. But really, there are so many cool options out there.
I would give some consideration to what size tires you want to end up with. I would say this... If you think you might be interested in 255 (tall / skinny) tires, I would say get 17" wheels. There seems to be more options. It seems like although the Cooper site says that they offer 255/85/16s, just try getting them through discount tire, or DT direct, or DT ebay. You won't find them on their twice a year ebay sale. And you can still go 285s with 17s if you want. I haven't been watching the price difference between the 16s and the 17s too much since I decided to stick with non-flashy Pro Comp 7069s in 16" for now. Ha! Wheels are an easy thing to agonize over with all the options. I am interested to see what you come up with.
You need to share some more pics man.
