    I have a set of 255/75/17s KO2s on some TRD offroad wheels and Falken Wildpeak MTs in 285/70/17s on sequoia wheels. Both are basically the same 17x7+15 for the TRD offroad and 17x7.5 +15 for the sequoia wheels. I will say that the car feels far more planted with the wider wheels and less...

    You might be able to remove that hockey puck but you would need to test if your shocks will bottom out before the bumps do. I'm running a 3" bump stop extension with a wheelers bump below that. Keep in mind that more wheel stuff might result in rubbing.

    I wouldn't worry about the mark on the axle. That's pretty normal and the wheelers bumps that I put in have done the same thing to my axle although I had more lift before I added my drawer. If it feels comfortable send it

    Yeah that’s where I’m at right now. I think the 677v would be right with gear in the drawer that’s always in the back of the truck but I’d definitely want a bit more when I get a bumper

    Did you switch to those Apache off-road springs?

    I was already planning on doing this but it also echoes what @GXO has been telling everyone for years...keep the rear, ditch the front

    Yes I have the full budbuilt skid plates under my rig front to back. If you're running the stock gas skid you may run into the same thing with the driveshaft but I would just send it and it'll cut its own clearance pretty quick. The 3rd gen 4runner had really bad issues with driveshaft gas tank...

    You'll for sure see a few inches more. Be careful as you will run into other clearance issues. I ended up cutting and rewelding my gas tank skid plate to avoid the driveshaft hitting. Also had to trim the plastic bumper slightly as the tires were hitting on full flex

    I have wheelers and am happy with them so far. They're similar to the durobumps. You can buy 2 front sets if you get wheelers since you don't need the mount in the rear with a bump stop extension. Also if you message them they will give you a discount code but its also posted on T4R somewhere as...

    Its definitely a lot lighter than a bumper but its still around 100lbs in front of the wheels

    Just don't add any front weight. I added the budbuilt hidden winch and now I need new front coils...

    3D printed parts can be very strong and durable and this listing is probably pretty good quality. The listing says PETG which is the best material choice for anything that will be outside. It has better impact resistance and is more UV stable than ABS which used to be the best choice. Still...

    Since that's 3d printed you'd need to paint it or its pretty guaranteed to fall apart within a year or 2

    Restricting articulation can be good if you're having tire clearance issues

    Bilstein does not make long travel. Only an extra inch or 2

    Everything has long lead times currently...Icon and Bilstein are backordered globally. Metaltech @helocat is your best bet for Icon and if they don't have it no one will. For a comparable shock, only Bilstein and Icon have shocks with digressive damping so Bilstein 5100s would be your best bet...

    Be prepared to trim the gas tank skid if you disconnect the rear sway bar or you'll need longer bump stops for sure. If you still have the stock gas tank skid it will most likely self clearance the tin foil but the noise it makes does not sound good...

    I have the same setup and went through this exact progression but that was due to parts being backordered and installing things as I got them. With tricked airbags and stock shocks the rear ride was terrible compared to now. I no longer hit the bumps stops over every speedbump but it was bouncy...

    Add some leather conditioner once a year and it will do wonders. I applied some griots conditioner and the leather and seats went from a hard and shiny surface to soft and pliable. Massive difference and it smells nice

    Thats what I've done so far. I was wondering if you figured out anything else on LT bump stops. There seems to be no good consensus on them. I'm going to try this and see how it goes https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2484318-post3.html
