very nice good photos
thanks for posting those up

that will look more agressive without those running boards-keen to see those pics.

 

Looks great, I really need to lift mine! Do I spy LED front turn signals?

 

Good eye man! Yeah, those are LED turn signals. Just a home-made LED array. They're super bright; way better than the PnP bulbs

 

Honestly, the power loss is not as drastic as I expected it to be. It is noticable; going up hills it downshifts a little sooner than usual, but it is still very drivable, and it can get up and go when I need it to

 

[OT]
Sorry about being so off topic, but do you have any more information on how you made these? I ordered my LED tail lights last week and plan on flowing your tread/write up on the LED 3rd brake light. I was thinking about making some front turn signals while I'm at it and any info would be greatly appreciated!

More pics!!! W/out the running boards, and somewhat off-road

Side shot w/out the running boards



I found a rock to test out the flex a little...






I also made a discovery... The tires definitely rub at full flex I guess I might have to throw on a 1" body lift down the road, maybe...

 

I'll have to do a write-up on that as well. I took pics when I made them, I just never got around to posting them up. Actually, come to think of it, all those pictures I took got deleted by accident off my memory card. Anyway, It's basically the same process, just a few changes is all. I'll try and get that done tomorrow.

 

-love your runner, can't stop looking at it.

definately post a process! i was just looking at converting my turn signals to LED ... what colors do yours light up? amber?

 

Looks good and it's good to see that you all have some snow on them mountains.

Take it out to 5-mile pass for some wheeling and see how it does.

 

looks bad great, nice 4 runner.

looks like it stuffs well and flexes great for basically stock ifs and coils

 

Hey thanks man! I can't stop looking either

Those are amber LEDs. Write-up coming soon...

 

Yeah, there's still some snow up there, but it's not gonna last long with temps around 100 recently!

I'm actually up in Logan right now, but I took it out today and it did great! Traction on the Nittos is unbelievable compared to my old tires. I'm extremely pleased with the difference. The new suspension is soo composed compared to the stock setup. I highly recommend it to anyone

 

Truck looks great with the lift!

Hate to be the odd ball, but I'm just not feeling the chrome rims...I'm just more of an alloy kind of guy.

Still though, nice 4Runner.

 

So to sum it up, you only have Steve's 7.2 lift? No gearing, wheel spacers, etc?
I just lifted my 2000 with Tundra/OME/Downey stuff and can't make up my mind as to which size tire to go with, and yours looks GOOD! I think I'm going to go with 255/85R16 to avoid the rubbing all together, but I have to ask...What's your mileage like?

Looks good brother. Post that LED stuff too if it's no trouble (photos and all).

 

i have steve's 1.2 setup and currently running on ProComp M/T 285/75/16. i did put on a pair of 1.25" spacers on the front hub to allow the tires to clear the UCA. i have rubbing problems when flex on both front and rear tires. just too lazy too hot out there right now, but it wont be some thing a BFH couldn't handle.

i think the 1.2 is taller than 7.2 in the back but i'm not sure.

 

looking good, you guys need some sliders

 

i have the same set of stock rims if anybody wants them,125 and you pay shipping

 

THose of you who have posted and are running 285's or larger do they "stuff" without hitting fender or rub when you cut the wheel? I just installed the SS 1.2 system on my 2000 4runner and I am trying to figure out what size tire will fit and what backspace I will need. I have some BFG AT's to use as my DD tires. I want to get the new km2's but they are only available on a 17inch rim in the 285 size.

 

wow someone across the US had the same idea as me to paint some taco wheels gunmetal like me...funny how that works.

 

Yep, I'm just runnin the SS 7.2 lift. As for the mileage, it's hard to say cuz I haven't been through a full tank yet. Considering how far I have driven though, it doesn't seem to be a whole lot different. I'll keep ya posted.
