Check it out.

Solid Axle this, Solid Axle that, Bla Bla Bla Bla. I own a genuine Toyota built Solid Axle truck as well. So what.
This is all about IFS. 35's and the fact that minor lift and a little triming will clear them.

Looking good Steve.
Glad to finally see pics of the tire carrier, I was really interested to see how that ended up.
This pushes the axle swap back another year or so???

I've been waiting for the links for this on your site to go live. I thought you were done with the 4Runner? Or were you just taking time off for a while to concentrate on the LC?

It was clear from Chinamans and other trails in Arizona that another inch under the axle would be ideal as well. Finally the 5.29 gears and the 285's were a bit too low. They are right on the money with the 34.5" 315/75/16 tires. I now have the exact same RPM's as stock.
I also wanted to see if I could do it.

Looks great Steve - nice job indeed. You're always trying new things and pushing your IFS... the masses benefit from your "experiments", and we thank you for it.
You mentioned on your website that the ATS arms are necessary for the 12.5" wide tires to clear. Are those arms "narrower" than the factory arms?
The reason I ask is I'm going to need new tires in the spring, and I'm considering going with a 33/12.5-15, but I know they will rub on the factory a-arms (my current 32/11.5-15s just barely clear). I know I can get new wheels to push the tires away from the a-arms, but that causes other rubbing problems.

Take a look:
I would swap the arms before ditching the rims.

I was looking at your site, and I saw these pics:
From these pics, it does not appear that I would gain much room to clear the 33s by simply going with the ATS arms. I read through your writeup on the ATS arms, and some of it was over my head, mechanically, so maybe I'm just missing something.
