T4Ranger's Build

[T4Ranger]

Figured I might as well start a thread on this...

I'll note the progress of my build here. She's grown up a bit in the last 38k miles (she is my daily commuter 75 miles round trip daily).

Purchased my 2014 TEP w/ KDSS November 28, 2013 w/ 6 miles on her... I slapped on some 265/70/17 Cooper ST MAXX tires as soon as I got home. Gave her a much more aggressive look.



Shortly thereafter, I tinted the windows and fog lights, and had a clear bra installed on the front bumper, hood, and mirrors. Plastidipped the wheels and I couldn't pass up a deal on MetalTech Sliders.



Since then I was preoccupied with my CTS-V and the 4Runner took a backseat... until today...

OME BP-51s have been installed! These things should settle a bit... but the stance is insane. (pics to follow when I have a little more time to play on the computer) Can't wait to test them out!

How much lift ?

How much lift ?

Initially, Fronts went from 34 to 38.0" rear went from 36.75" to 38.5"... I'm sure it will settle at least .25" lower all around after a few weeks.

How much lift ?

Yes, I had to flip it around and it's currently only bolted into the frame with one bolt instead of 2, aided with red loctite. I informed toytec and they said they are going to look into an alternate bracket to accommodate those of us with KDSS. I'll post more pics this weekend.
