It all started out with a flat tire. I wanted to get a lift eventually, so when I got a flat I figured the 4runner needs all new tires anyways, so why not just knock it all out at once (hey, any excuse right? ). So I bought the Toytec 3" lift (thanks Ric), and also got front and rear Bilstein HD's. For the tires, after much research thanks to this forum, I decided on 285/75/16 Nitto Terragrapplers. Overall I couldn't be happier with the result. Let me know what you guys think...... on with the pics:

The running boards will stay until I get some sliders to replace them (I don't think they look that bad anyways). Up next I plan on working with the exhaust. Not sure if I'm going to do just a muffler and tip, or a whole new system. All depends on the funds. I also have a 7th injector kit and Iridium spark plugs that I need to install, but I am dreading having to pay the hefty $$ for the dealership to put them in. Me and a buddy put on the supercharger about 6 months ago, and we had enough trouble with that. As I repeatedly tell my fiance when she asks about when I will be done with the 4runner......... It never ends!!

 

damn, thats one clean truck dude... Making me jealous.

 

Looks good. You didn't happen to measure how much actual lift you ended up with, did you?

 

Love the truck and the lift was a huge diff since it looked like you had the shorter coils to start with. Good choice of tires too.

 

Thats got to be one of the nicest 3rd gens i have seen in a long time!

 

MAN i am jealous.

If you guys could handle the supercharger install, why couldn;t you do the URD kit? Its pretty straight forward! And i would also say get that kit on there ASAP. While it may not seem like its doing any damage in the short term, if its leaning out, you will find out later.

 

I know exactly what you mean about the fuel kit. I will get it on there one way or the other. When we were putting the supercharger on, nothing was easy. Every bolt was seized it seemed like. We had to use a head bolt from a '95 civic because the head bolt that came with the kit had such fine grooves that it became worn quickly when we tried to install it. On a seven year old vehicle there was a lot of rust and crap in the pre-existing hole that we had to clean out. I'm just nervous about taking everything off again, thats all.

 

yeah, that is a CLEAN runner, lift and tires look GREAT too!

 

that is one nice effin truck dude, my next trucks going to be an 80-series or a runner like yours

 

Very nice! Looks much better and really clean.

 

Does that TRD license plate frame have little tabs on the bottom that keep the license plate from rattleing around?

BTW bad ass runner.

 

that is a nice looking lift well done

 

damn that is really clean. thanks for the pics.

 

Nice rig. Very clean. The TRD stickers really look good on your truck. Lift looks good too.

 

nice looking rig

 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Clean looking Runner man! Congrats on the lift. Does the Toytec 3 use OME srpings out the rear??

 

Looks clean man, just like my 4Runner. You should get some clear corners & clear signals lens also. Do the rear mud-flap removal mod, that'll make your 4Runner appear as if it sits even higher. Some LED tails would look good too...

 

thats friggin sexy

 

Boostin00, nice choice of mods! I like the fact that you got tires installed at the same time as the lift. 4Runner looks really nice.

I was going to ask how has the larger tires affected your power, but then I see that you have a SC installed, so nevermind
