Hey, don't be throwing in different days of the week here! I'll leave Saturdays Chanel #5 out of it.

You forgot the skid plate like yours.

You don't have to worry about me getting a bumper or roof rack like yours though.

Twins are cute

I should be welding up some sliders this evening if Fed Ex doesn't fuck up the delivery.

Got rid of the running boards to get ready for the Shrockworks sliders. Now just have to wait until January.



Also added the RCI filler plate between the new skid and stock bumper. Not really digging it. May take it off and put the stock plastic one back on. It tucks up a little higher and stays out of sight better.

Are you talking about when compared to the OEM one? My advice (not that it will be heeded) is that OEM will give you better fuel mileage if only by 0.1 mpg. :)

Come on January.... but dang you are taking the running boards off early. I'll probably wait till after I come back from Big Bend unless they ship earlier. In that situation I'll go buy a couple of lottery tickets.

I've had them sold to my cousin for her 2014 SR5 since the day I bought my 4Runner.

I tactfully 'bugged' them every week for about three and BAMMMMMMM!!! They screwed up someone's order who had been waiting a year and I got a discount and picked it up within a day locally. :) Lotto Tickets not so much. :)

Nice! Wish I had skipped the group buy on T4R and just straight up ordered my sliders at this point. Three months wait time isn't worth ~$60 IMO anymore. Live and learn right? Also I went to Discount Tire today to play musical tires with my 4R and Tacoma. I am moving my 265/75R16 KO2s to my Tacoma and putting some 235/85R16s on my 4R. Yep - tall and skinny pizza cutters on the DD. They didn't have 4 tires in my size in stock so I have to go back Monday to get them mounted and swapped around. The new tires are pretty much the same height; but at 5 lbs lighter and 1" more narrow per tire I am hoping to see a decent bump in my MPG for my DD.

Let us know what the bump in mpg is if you can. :)

I spent 60 hours total the past two weekends installing all of this new stuff. I bought all of this with the intent to build it with my stepdad since we never got to build an old truck like we had talked about. After I ordered everything, he passed away from brain cancer. It's amazing how fast it can spread once the chemo stops working. So I had tapped into my "Oh Shit" account to purchase all of this stuff (an account I've never touched before).

Before anyone asks why I didn't do long travel. I don't want to deal with those modifications and its a long, expensive rabbit hole to go down. I just want a dependable, comfortable mid-travel setup that I can wheel or tow with.

Front:
Icon 2.5" extended Omega CDC coilover with #700 spring
Icon 2.5" Omega CDC secondary shock
Total Chaos secondary shock hoop
Total Chaos Stock control arms
Total Chaos alignment tab gussets (4 of my OEM were shot, truck was having problems holding alignment)
Total Chaos spindle gussets
Icon coilover covers (condoms lol)

Rear:
Icon 2.5" Omega CDC rear shocks
Icon 2.0 hydraulic bumps
Icon U-bolt flip plate

Passenger side

Sooo...yeah. 10/10 do not want to do again lol

did I miss all that sex?

The front looks like mine, minus the Pinup Model stuff. :)

Since I have yet replace front wheel bearings on the Taco, I took the Ferd out on some of the offroad trails on base and checked on my hunting area, gonna need more meat on the 20in shoes and couple inches of lift and/or smaller shoes with bigger meats.
I could tell a big difference on the downhill decents on the small rock ledges and going uphill was much more pleasant.
