Last pic is what it looked like when I first purchased it












How it sat when I purchased it.
It previously had 2” spacers in front on top of the TRD shocks.

 

Very Nice!

 

Looks fantastic! Love the matching Lexus as well. I drive the RC-F, but it doesn't match my MGM.
Jim

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks, yea I love the Lexus Nebula Gray paint color! Awesome on the RC-F! For a while we had Infiniti/Nissan and are switching back over to Toyota/Lexus. Wife still has a Nissan Pathfinder though. Trying to get rid of that soon but not sure what to get her.

 

I’ll just leave this here for your wife:

 

Truck looks great, but honestly I drool over the house more. Well done sir!

 

Sexy build!

 

Damn that’s badass!! I’ve been trying to talk her into one! She’s trying to go more luxury though
She loves driving the Tundra, and wants a Sequoia if they’d ever update the front end more than just headlights.

PS - those are the wheels I wish I would’ve seen before purchasing my Method Mesh! Love em! Very well done 4runner

 

Lol! Thank you! Designed by me (hence the nearly OD and Black paint theme lol)
360 days, 4hrs a day I was onsite during the build making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to LOL
Got a rainbow shot coming home the other day

 

Thank you!

 

Front Kings off of a member on here - they were new though. But I did have an issue with no Nitrogen in one of them which led me on a wild goose chase. (No issues now and they ride beyond amazing)

The rear Kings I ordered through SDHQ.

On the method bolts I just removed them all, and found some cheap set-screws on Amazon and screwed them into the holes (just do dirt/debris wouldn’t get into the empty holes). All the set screws rusted which now gives a unique look LMAO.
Method now sells a “black bolt kit” but it’s $100+. I was going to go this route but might swap over wheels to the ones on that 4runner a few posts up.

 

Awesome! I designed and built this pathetic in comparison house when I was young. Built by me completely, started Framing Memorial Day, moved in Labor Day. My current house is named sold, cross every day off the calander till then(soon). Thought I could be happy, nope has to be all me, can’t think of any reason not to.

 

Great looking truck. Awesome build!

 

That’s impressive!!!
Has to feel great knowing it was all done by you!! Very nice!
I’m trying to finish a 30x40 shop with me and another guy. I definitely could never build a house. I’ll be lucky if the shop comes out straight lol.

 

Awesome truck! With 13 turns on the Kings’, how much lift did it get you? Just looking for a baseline before I install mine.

I know the CB shims give you an extra 1” driver and .5” passenger.

Thanks

 

It was 2.5” Kings and then the CB’s add the 1” and .5”. So 3.5”ish

 

Yep! Method NV - just a tad different than the Mesh.
I would pull these bolts out too.
I had real bead locks on my old 4runner (red one below)- and didn’t realize these Method Mesh that I picked out for the Tundra were nearly identical to my 4runner wheels - so it almost feels like I’ve had the same damn wheels for 12 years! LOL

 

Yea, you’d get away with it. I ran them for 10 years (although it wasn’t my DD).
I actually blew a bead on Hwy 6 going up to Browns Camp on a wheelin trip! Thankfully I had a full sized spare - ran back down to Discount Tire in Tigard and they fixed me up.
I don’t recommend real bead locks for DD.

 

Yep! I used to take my old 83 solid axle toy on 36” SX Swampers up there all the time. I’ve flopped it a few times

 

Dude, build me a house in the Bay Area!

 

Nice! Yea, the older smaller rigs do great up there. I wouldn’t take the Tundra, unless it was pulling a trailered TrailRig lol.

 

Thank you very much sir!

 

Of course your truck is spot on!
'Love the house and land tho….Super nice place man!

Talk to me about those spacers up front...
I think I remember reading somewhere that the left (passenger) side rides a bit higher??? That your reason for two on driver and one on passenger?

I'm currently running a 3" level kit up front. I've got some ICON coilovers sitting in the box waiting for install. They can adjust up to 3", but I was thinking about running a 1" shim, so as to not dial them out all the way. Sounds like that's what you did with your Kings?

 

Yep, that’s exactly why I did it. Some recommend it, and some do not.
King doesn’t recommend it, but I think DirtyDeeds and DirtySouth did.
The reason is compressing the King spring by cranking the coil over collar down, gives a shitty ride.
The thought behind the shims is to maintain the nice King ride but also achieving a 1/2” lift.
I actually might crank my front King collar down two or three turns. My CV angles aren’t ideal.

And thank you very much - appreciate the comments

 

LMFAO!!

 

Thank you! I’m shopping full springs packs next. After hauling 1500 lbs a few times in the bed (hundreds of miles and let the product sit in back for a few days), the factory springs aren’t exactly in like new condition lol.

 

Thanks brotha! That's exactly what I've been thinking and worried about...ride quality and CV angles. Good info!
