What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

put TRD black wheels plus bilstein 5100s on front set@ 1.75 and alignment NO change to the stock rear, they raised the front by 2+ inches so from the concrete to the fender well shows the front measurement within 1/4" less of the rear fender measurement..... to the eye it looks level now but Im still on the fence if I should have gone with the .85 height which probably would have raised it an inch (I wish there had been a groove setting between .85 and 1.75), ride is a nice improvement with less nose diving....still debating which tires Im going with, K02s or wildpeaks or something else

use this to get a little rake back.

FS- Cornfed 1" Rear Spring Spacers
 
How's the rolling resistance compared to the KO2's? Are these standard load or C/D/E?

These are E rated. Rolls better on road (40psi) and quieter than KO2’s. I know the odometer is off my another mile/hr, but I just averaged 1.5 mpg better on highway than KO2’s...so that might mean 2 mpg better or so. I think they might be a slight bit more twitchy in the steering, but need more time to be sure.
 
Finally got around to (and permission) to get some stuff done

Cornfed to level the front.

And 40th Anniversary TRD wheels

Then new Falken Wildpeaks AT3W , 265s, SL

Scheduled the install for my new Expedition One dual-swing rear bumper with all the trimmings. I’m really looking forward to getting the spare and hi-lift out of the trunk...
 
Gave her a wash and fresh coat of wax!

Nice! If you have time, could you post a side pic of your 4Runner? I'm considering the same modifications to mine and just interested to see how the spacer install looks.

Gladly, I'll get a couple taken later today, about an inch difference between the front and the back, ground to bottom of plastic around wheel well.... front is about 36" , rear is 37"...

Installed light bar from Caliraised. Brackets are great, perfect fitment. Bar is nice. My Black Oak on my 4th gen is definitely nicer, by far, but this one is good quality and puts out nice light.

Installed a single piston ARB compressor for airing up tires

More install pix here
Sun To The North: My Expedition Vehicle & Trailer

Questions?

Thanks bro...purchased my ARB twin compressor with Toytec on Thursday. I was looking to see if anyone mounted theirs on the passenger side. I had questions on whether it would fit with the TRD CAI installed. Toytec hooked me up...my intercooler for the supercharger on the driver side so can't mount the compressor there. Appreciate the help
 
Beach was packed today! Still better than lugging stuff to the beach. And theres still less people than the walk on beach.

There are vendors offering nice mounting brackets to allow installation of that compressor near the passenger side firewall.
 
Today my 5th Gen was given some black body armor......
