They quit selling out of the "scrap" pile. I tried before the crawl and ended up having to buy a 24' stick to get the 4 foot I was needing.

1900 miles in 11 days. The 4Tunner is an impressive machine. The TRD Pro suspension is firm. Seats are comfy. Power is more than enough.

Almost 20 mpg to Tuscaloosa and back. Speed limit
 
^nice Nolen. Saw you coming up 43 south of Canton. Guess you couldnt see me in my camo.....
 
Is the 3rd row optional or standard? You should probably drop the 100.

I love those new 4Runners. That's what I'd be driving if I had the dough.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the front end. I don't understand the new design trend that mandates the grille encompass 95% of the front of the vehicle.
 
I'm thinking about doing a leveling kit on my 4Runner. I don't plan on getting bigger tires anytime real soon but wanted the more level look and option for the future. I don't want to jack up the ride or make it too rough. There seems to be several options.

Billstein 5100 all around with adjustable shocks in the front: Bilstein Height adjustable front and matching 5100 Rear shocks

Toytec or equivalent leveling kit: 3" lift / leveling kit for FJ & 4Runner- Works with XREAS

Low range: 2003-2015 Toyota 4Runner | 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser LRT 3" Lift Kit by Low Range Off-Road (LR-LRFJ4RU)

I like how the last kit has a diff drop. Shouldn't they all be used with a diff drop or does it not matter as much when just leveling the front? Any advice on these or other options? The last kit is also supposedly easier to install because you don't have to compress the spring...although I'm guessing I would end up having the guys at 49 tire do the job. @wct49 let me know if your guys have done these and how much labor may be.
 
Mine has about 2" more lift than your truck I would think. The 31's seem about perfect for the powerband and I run about 2000RPM at 70. I like the setup. You should watch the 4Runner board for some dope that is taking this setup off

I have that line on a m8000. It's nice but keep it out of the UV. 303 sells some UV protection spray that you can use on any exposed areas to the sun; helps it last a lot longer
