Looks great! I have the same lift on order and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. This thread is psyching me up even more. Your Bumper and sliders compliment the truck really well.
I did not order the drop bracket. Did you notice a big improvement once installed?

You'll love the lift.
As for the Drop Bracket, I installed it the same time I installed everything else since I had the Runner on jackstands already and had it all tore down. I didn't drive it without. I had read the horror stories of the rear end jumping all around when going over bumps and getting squirrelly at high speeds over dips in the road... wasnt going to take the chance with my kids in the car.
I don't go by what others say alone on this one either. I spent many years wheeling Jeeps before I came to Yota's. Had similar experience myself with Grand Cherokees and Cherokees. They have the same kind of setup both front and rear. They can get pretty scary if you don't correct the angles on the bars (think "Death Wobble"). At any rate, I can't give you a before and after, I'm sorry man.
Good luck with the lift though!

Good Job, the lift looks great!
I guess I'll have to add the Panhard Bar Drop to my Christmas list. I definately get some shakes when hitting bumps along the highway. I suppose I should've installed it when I did the lift, however I don't recall seeing it offered on thier website back then.
Anyways...Great Job! You've got a nice lookin' RUNNER!

I saw that and I was not sure if they were 265 75s and his website said he was getting 33s so I didn't know if those were the new 33s or not.

Again, "Thank you" all.
The tires are indeed 265/75/16 Firestone Destination MT's, 33's are comin!
The Roof Rack is SURCO.
The "Lean" look is from the left rear tire being in a little dip and the angle of the camera doesnt help any.
Believe me, I am such a perfectionist that if my ride leaned, it would be addressed long before I posted pics!
The Panhard Bracket is easy to install. Just make sure that you or someone who is competent at welding actually WELDS it in place. I don't think the bolt alone would hold in stressfull positions.
Thank you,
James

thanks but it's really not worth it, especially if you wheel. dirt shows up instantly and just highlights scuffs and other other contaminants too well. my next runner is going to be forest green i think.

Could you post information on your Roof Rack mounts then? I have a Surco as well, but, mine is like 6" in the frigging air. Yours looks way lower...the mounts appear to be shorter.
Do you have any info on this you could pass on to me please?

I made those mounts myself. I can not have a rack way up in the air like most are. I like it close to roof. I can take some pics and try to get them up soon. They keep the rack about 2" off the roof, I love them!
