06 StormTrooper's '06 4Runner Build-up Thread

This is when she was stock, for the most part. All i had was the 5% tint, and a head unit.

Next I got a Kenwood Double Din 7" Head unit and PIAA lights put behind the lower grill.

Sign up for a photobucket account and upload them as medium pics 640X480. It will automatically resize them for you to fit perfectly into the forum. Then you can click on the link with the [IMG] tags and insert the link into your post. You can put a lot more pics into one post and they actually show up as a picture not an attachement.

Then a couple buddy's and I put a Cornfed 3/2 lift on and squeezed a set of 33x12.50R20 Nitto Mud Grapplers on 20" Rockstars on her. About 2 weeks after the lift and tires I put some police lights in just for fun. Also, the last two pics show the truck de-badged with the new decals. [IMG][/IMG]

Next was tail light tint and then a new front bumper (Shrockworks). Then I replaced the stock running lights and turn signals with LED's. Also, got a HID kit.

Next are some off-roading pics. Also, I put a magnaflow muffler in with just a turn down under the truck.

Next, and as it sits as of 7-25-10, is the Overland Warehouse Radflo 2.0 kit put on as well as blacked out headlight housings. The guy that was making my satoshi grille accidentally backed out and the hood hit his broken garage door so hopefully I am going to have a new hood and a satoshi grille by Friday.

Not a fan of 20's? Some people aren't that's ok though. If it was a offroading truck only then I would not have put 20s on it; but it's not, it is a daily driver so I want it to look good on the road too. When, in about 3 years, it is an offroad truck only then I will be going to 17s or 18s. and not the same wheel or tire.

Wow, no compliments at all just a straight up dont like your wheels and tires? Why dont you like them? That's too bad, because there are a lot of people that do like them. They are not for offroad all the time so keep that in mind.

Don't be offended.

Rockstars look retarded on any toyota. And you put 20's on a 4Runner... should have gone with a 17" wheel max. You have no sidewall with those 285's or whatever they are. Not to mention, it looks like your rims are 10" wide and your tires are 12.5, they look ballooned like a hawaii truck.


My truck is a DD.. the stock rims look good on the road too

Other then that, I vote you ditch the side steps and get some sliders..
Your junk has potential, and I wasn't trying to be rude. I like that front bumper, too rich and heavy for my blood though.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But I will say this if i am not mistaken most wheels are narrower than the tire that's on it. If the rim is too wide than it looks Mexican where it bows to the top of the wheel. My sidewalls are literally straight up and down I don't see what your talking about ballooning out? I have Shrockworks sliders on order; I plan on going down in size when I start actually wheeling it. A 17 inch wheel is the smallest wheel I could fit on it because of the brakes. Thanks for the compliment on the bumper though, it was the lighter option over the ARB thy still offers a lot of protection both on road and off road. The sidewall is not an issue as i don't really take it off road that much and I am moving up to 35s from these 33s.

i think the 4runner looks pretty dang good! and i'm glad to see you ACTUALLY use it ofroad!!!!!

i say Ditch the rockstars....just because i'm not a fan of rockstars. buddy has em on his dodge, and so does about 50other trucks in the 3 or 4 small towns around us.

i see atleast 5 DIFFERENT sets of rockstars everyday.

i'm more of a stand out kinda guy, against the grain when it comes to my trucks

I totally agree, when I got them they were not as overpopulated as they are now. I say it everyday to myself, but I am trying to decide what I want and then save up money for new wheels.

I like it dude. At least you actually use your truck with 20" rock stars. A lot of guys just have pretty road queens. You have a mud queen my friend.
