LOVE the Tardis!
Where did you order the lettering from?

Here you go, a bunch of us got our lettering through this offer. It's FREE.
Sauce---> Toyota more than a car.
The pros come 1" up in the front already, so I am at 3 overall, at least that's what toytec tells me.
Any opinion on that?
Baja spacers up front and new coils in the rear, from toytec.
I can post up exactly what it is, if you're interested.

I am interested. I also want to get to 285/75s on my pro. I have a 4x4 labs bumper being built now so I'm not sure how much more clearance I will need to get them to fit up front and I don't know if anything will need to be done to the rear to get there.

T4R.ORG decals were ordered this week too.
Also finally decided on my custom license plate for after the Sep move, "MAY DUJ"

Some of you were asking how the car felt with the new tires, so far no rubbing at full extension, however at weirder angles, on the trail, we may find some more rubbing, and have to trim back the frame slightly, but so far it's fine.
I'd say they're actually quieter than the Terra Grapplers, especially when making tight turns through our parking structure, absolutely ZERO hum at any speed.
They take some getting used to, as the Terra Grapplers I'd say are great road tires with good off road treads, whereas the Trail Grapplers are great off road tires with good on-road capabilities. What this mean is akin to wearing running shoes with soft rubber treads; you're gripping the track well, but there's a little bit of smooshiness if you start shimmying the steering wheel. If that makes sense.
What it means to mean is that these aren't great road trip tires, because you have to really be aware of the road and how it wants to pull at the tread direction, but they're amazing off road.

Drove it through SBux drive through... Witnessed Karma in action.
While pulling into main parking lot a girl in her Dodge sedan (with Hemi) cut me off. She ended up in the line right ahead of me for drive thru. After ordering her drink she pulled forward and rear ended the car in front of her (just a tap but there was damage). She got her coffee before me but it's going to cost her a lot more, haha.
Funny thing is that I have rear bumper damage and if she had tapped me I doubt it would have mattered.
:bravo:

Those TRD wheels are 7" wide, IIRC, so most tire shops won't even mount 285s on them.
You'll almost certainly rub on the stock UCA, you'll have to cut the body mount, cut the fender mount, cut/hammer the body pinch weld, cut out most of the plastic in the wheel wells, lower your bump stops, good pit of trimming in the rear wheel wells, and probably still rub.
Even with 285/70/17s you'll have to do a lot of that if you don't want it to rub, if you wheel it and flex the suspension.
When I started reading that I was like [emoji15].
I realized I made an error in my original post and have since edited it.
I meant 285/70/17 I figured there would be some rubbing, I was thinking most likely needing the body Mount shaved (any idea on where to get that done?) Removing the "hump" from the front mud flap, and doing the wheel well liner mod. I would think that would clear me of rubbing issues?
Sorry for that initial confusion.

Yea, body mount is going to have to go. Most shops probably won't want to have anything to do with it. Might have to DIY or find a specialty off road place.
BMC, pulling the wheel well liner forward, a little bit of plastic cutting, and high caster fit my 285/70/17 MTRs. These 305/70/17s (similar size to 285/75/17s) are taking a lot more work.

Slight rub at full lock on the front fender liners. Once the Stealth 6s go on it'll rub a bit more.
The fender liner mod should do the trick though.
Touchdown!
Getting it on the dyno to make sure the computer's speedo is calibrated to the new tires, alignment, and shop is doing any checks/trims to the bumper to ensure no rubbing!
Which hidden winch mount is that?

New leather interior I got done a few weeks ago.
Katzkin black leather with red contrast stitching and TRD logo stitched on seat facing.

great looking ride
what kind of sliders are those?
What is your roof set up? That's exactly the look I want to go for
Did some lighting upgrades, HIDs and fogs. Lexus IS 250 projectors, Osram 5500 bulbs, STI clear lenses, and Morimoto ballasts. Fogs are the Morimoto XBs, no trimming needed to mount them. The light above the cutoff isn't glare, it's because of the projectors themselves and the lenses, it doesn't blind oncoming drivers, and it's normal from what I've read (Had my friend drive past me a few times in his Corvette to see if there were any issues with glare or being blinded). I went with the IS 250 projectors because they use side mounted bulbs like the T4R. Only fabrication was inside the headlight housing itself. No sheet metal cutting for the rear mounted projectors and I can change the bulbs without removing the bumper.

Engaged 4Hi for the 1st time...
I'm a new member and new to 4Runner (took delivery of my "T4RD1S8" on 4th of July). About 750+ miles on the odometer now and loving it.
Trying to fulfill the 10 miles a month recommendation so I found a 5-mile stretch of US highway that is straight as an arrow and has very little traffic. Engaged the 4Hi for the first time today and drove it both ways (switched to 2Hi before turning it around).
