Hey all. Apologies for my earlier mishap posting an empty thread, it's been a rough morning. 
Here's what was supposed to be here originally;
Although I've always liked big hoop bumpers and big tires, that level of build just hasn't been necessary for this car yet.
I never intended it to be an OEM + setup, that's what it turned out to be. Basic, simple, relatively light (if you take out all my gear), and functional without being over the top. Of course, there are downsides to this type of setup - no animal protection, minimal rock/tree protection, etc.
2007 V8 4runner with over 200k on it. Lots of maintenance, new steering rack, tranny, rear end, frame patches, needs new LCAs/UCAs, it's a never ending money pit but I love it.
Suspension: 2.5" front / 2" rear lift.
- Toytec Aluma 2.0 front coilovers w/700lb springs
- SPC upper control arms (for now)
- Toytec Aluma 2.0 rear shocks
- Old Man Emu 897 rear springs (600lb constant load)
- Durobump bump stops all around
Tires and wheels:
- 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W E-load
- MB Wheels 'Legacy' 17x8.5, -6mm offset
Armor:
- RCI steel engine, transmission, and tcase skid plates. Still need gas tank plate.
Other accessories or modifications:
- E-locked 8.2 swap
- LFD Offroad hidden winch mount w/Smittybilt x20 10k winch
- Apex Overland recovery points
- Eimkeith PCK and lower link reinforcement
- Custom length sliders
- Drawers for trunk storage with lots of tools, spares, recovery gear, and other goodies.
- Kaon ceiling shelf
-
- Cheapo Amazon ditch lights

My dad's been building hobbyist off-road rigs for 20 years, he has some idea of what works and doesn't.
