Not really a fan of the Satoshi grill, but I have to admit this is the best I have seen so far. Good job man the all blacked out stealth mod is crazy wicked sick.
Really love the look.

PS To you drivers who have complimented my grille mod . . . . . thank you SO MUCH and I mean it. This is the first ever car mod I have ever done and your compliments mean a lot to me. As does this forum. I find it informative, enlightening, and at times hilarious. I'm pretty new to 4X4 and 4Runner (it's my 6th new Toyota but wife drove all the others) and you are all a source of inspiration for me.

That's Andy in the pix. I'm even (older)! Shhhhhh. And I don't support AARP either.

New tires on OEM 20" wheels. I really debated whether I should go with 22" and 305s, but in the end, I had to go with the truly cheaper option.
Specs:
General Grabber UHP
275/55R20 - recommended for 7" width
Stock 20x7 wheels, no wheel spacer/adapter, no lift
Definitely gives it a much better stance already as well as a little more sidewall height (31.9" tall compared to 31.6" tall OEM size) and width.
Wheel spacers/adapters to come soon as well to push them out further.

Antman cup holder install, now I'm seriously ready for camping next week:cheers:
That being said I have a 13 LE and on the passenger side where there shouldn't be anything there is some type of electronic coil. About 6 inches long, looks like a magnet with the center wrapped in wire. There is a bracket holding it in the most interfering place. Remove the two phillips head screws and the final wire clip from the frame. You're going to reverse the coil on the bracket 180 degrees. Take that bracket loose, spin it about 90 degrees toward the back of the vehicle. The black placement pin, you'll see it, will now fit under the recessed side of the bracket. Tighten it back up and you're good to go. Would be much easier if you remove the spare tire btw. Sorry for no pics but I didn't quite expect to do this.
No idea what that coil is doing but how dare Toyota install it there.

Got my LE runner really in a fuc..ing tight spot while surveying a possible housing project with my cool ass dad!!! Just trying to figure out in what thread should I spill my heart and pics about it without offending any old timmers or any new kids on the block. Any advise from Mr. Titanpat or Mr. Antman are welcome (sorry I don't know how to link them). But in a summary my skinny ass wheel and tires don't have any business doing any kind of wheeling, so "I'm gonna write a letter to Toyota in Japan to let them have it". Damn I love this forum and sorry for any mispells!!!

Finally corrected the notorious toyota lean with a daystar spacer in the rear. Now I'm all level. For anybody that needs the other let me know, I have no use for it.

That's what I need to do. You only did the rear, correct? What size spacer did you use?

I used this one:
Daystar? - Driven by Design
It leveled it all out to about an 1/8" difference in the rear, compared to almost an 1 1/4" difference, Pass>Driver before the spacer. I took a little bit of time to get it in cause I already had my OW springs in the back but flexed the axle just enough to get it in. PM me if you want the other spacer.
