Hey guys! Im pretty new to YotaTech but i do have a build thread on toyota-4runner.org I figured i would see whats goin on on this side and share my build. Ive done a lot and i will try to put everything in chronological order to the best of my abilities.

I got her in May of 2012 with 110k on it for $8,000. I thought it was a really good deal so I bough her











The first thing I did was just like anyone else and I removed the runner boards to give it more clearance.





Next I installed the "autozone special" the thrush glass pack

I don't have a whole lot of pictures from the beginning but I have some. The first major thing I did was getting rid of the donut sized tires it had on it and got some destination AT 265's. Not large by any means but it looked a hell of a lot better then the michelin that were on it from the start





Next was to Plasti dip the ole stock rims





I also installed 2 kc spots and 2 kc floods. They were off his rig from when he was a kid.

This is his (sorry it's rotated)






My next mods were to plasti dip the flares and bumpers and install my new coils to give me ~3" lift front and rear.

Painted flares and bumper. I think this picture looked ugly lol it needed something else so I painted my grille black and it looked a lot better






Next was to install my bigger coils for a 3 inch lift.










Took all the plasti dip off the wheels and did them with rustoleum wheel paint





Next was to install red led in the gauge cluster and interior. I loved this mod





















She started to really come together (:

okay ill fast forward a couple months to where my bigger mods came in

I need new shoes so i decided to buy 285 goodyear duratracs. And i am soo pleased with them. They have amazing traction and they are pretty quiet for how big they are.

I got some pro comp 8069's to go along with the duratracs. They have 4.00" backspacing and -12.00mm offset. Theyre 16x8 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. Along with the wheels i got 1.25" G2 wheel spacers. I knew i would need some to clear the A arms.











And the final product

The next major thing i did was installing the Spectre Cold Air Intake. Its great for high end power you can really hear it pulling in the air when i get at about 3000 rpm. It helped my MPG too. On the high way i get about 23 mpg when im consistently running 62-64 mph.. It amazes me even with the 285's.





Measurements to show how much lift i actually have

My next major mod was the 4x innovation bumper. Its probably one of my favorite upgrades. It looks so clean and just adds that aggressive look to it. I primed it and sprayed it with bed liner



Installing it

Nice! Love that bumper. What coils did you use for the lift??

coltonbaxter31

883 OME in the front and 891's in the rear. I'm installing blisten 1500 shocks soon for a better ride

That bumper looks killer!

Thanks man

habanero

Those horns are soooo cute!

Nice on the 4x Innovations, too bad they don't deal with body lifts.

coltonbaxter31

Yeah I wish they did. I love their services
