Finally lifted my 2000
I finally lifted my 2000 4Runner. I choose to go with Kings on the front with OME's on the back from Xtreme Off-Road. (Thanks!) I really like the height and the ride. Washed it and took a few photos of it complete. 4:88 gears on order from Randy's R&P. I was the original owner of the '89 pickup that I solid axled in 1999, see below. My 4Runner has a little ways to go to compete with it. You can see my wifes '99 - which has always sat about 2" higher than mine.
Here you go.
Here you go.

Thanks guys. Here is another photo of Orion, my dog. This is pre-digital camera. Poor photo. I had an '85 4runner that I was fixing up and my little partner is always there. Here he is keeping the engine parts organized for me.

What size tire are you running? The truck looks sweet, I really wish we would have gotten a silver 4Runner rather than a black one. I love black too, but it's high maintenance like my wife. I just installed bilsteins and OME 891's/906's. Someday I'd like to go with the coilovers though.

Yeah what size rim and tire are you running? I assume those wheels are 17's right? I was thinking about going to 17's but the price for tires were rediculous and I wasn't sure what size would fit up under the truck. By the way your rig looks incredible

They are 17's. The tires are BFG's MT 285/70/17. With the facotry Sequia wheel. It would be nice if the wheel had a bit smaller offset. The knobs on the side of the tire rubbed the a-arm once lifted. I cut and filled a little over 1/4 inch of the arm. Now I have a fingers width between the arm and the tre at full droop. I can post some pictures if you like.
The bumper on the green 4Runner is green. It does have a hitch that may make it look black.

Hey,
SGirt, I remember your truck from about 3-4 years ago when I was stationed in Colorado, didn't you take that picture in Ft Collins? If that was it I was at the same location that day, I remember you posting the pic's, that pic was either on Rockcrawler.com or 4x4wire.com or one of the old school sites wasn't it. I could swear I saw your truck in 00 or 01 in Ft Collins, tell me I'm not loosing my mind, I remember easily due to the fact that that was the cleanest most capable rig I had seen on the trail. I drove an 86 4Runner with a SAS that was blue with a black top at the time. Did you ever run the Independence trail network in Penrose Colorado? That could've been the place too, I was there all the time.
Hit me back, its bothering me now, man I've been on forums to dang long man, I remember vehicle's from years past now

Nice looking Runner and those Sequoia wheels do look good.
My new Runner is identical to your wife's sans the Running boards and I was wondering if you have any current pics of your Runner parked next to your wife's for a ride height comparison?
