V8er_Runner Build Thread

[V8eR_Runner]

I am going to use this thread to document past mods and future mods on my 2015 4R TRD Pro. A little history first, purchased the 4Runner in July 2016 with 12K miles on it. I had been looking off and on for a black Pro and one Friday in July I saw it listed at a dealer 20 minutes from me. That Saturday I went in with my Limited 2008 4R which was meticulously cared for and had 74K on the odometer and cash in hand. After a hour at the dealership I was driving home in my "new" Pro. You can also check out the build and adventures on Instagram @vadr_runner

Truck looks great man, nice progress. I will say that I was expecting the 1st LS swapped 5th gen based on your username!

There is a slight rub when in reverse fully locked, a little more fender liner mod and it should be sorted out.

So probably no need for BMC then? Cool

I did a thing on Wednesday to ass end of the Runner. This is Expedition One's Single swing out rear bumper. Install was pretty straight forward. The latch system on this thing is like nothing else I have seen.

I love that bumper. I would grab one but I don't think I want to mess with the additional weight.

Do I read that right that you replaced stock TRD Pro suspension with a 6112/5160 setup? Seems kinda like trading labels to get rid of the TRD logo...
