Not exactly the same. Mine is 100% OEM and my ww look more filled.

 

Looks slightly lifted to me. Might be an inner coil spacer or similar if there's something resting in the perch. There shouldn't be anything in there.

 

I saw it wheels off and on a lift, didn't notice anything in the rear coils. Front definitely has a spacer, it being rubber I thought was odd but I have zero experience with them.

Nothing in the rear at the bottom of the coil perch, at least.

 

Intriguing.

Also yes, 4x4. 2013 SR5 with 38k miles. Local car it's entire life.

The other contender was a 2016 SR5 in the same color, but 4x2 and 18k miles. Was $2k more, but not a huge fan of those front ends for my personal car.

 

I'm pretty positive it's a regular, run of the mill leveling spacer. It is identical in appearance and size (best guess) to this one. Orientation included.

The only odd thing was it seemed to be rubber, not metal like I'm more familiar with for spacers.

 

Yeah, which I don't mind and wanted to do anyway, just figured it'd be 5100s. Keeping the spacer for now.

Not planning to do much with this one. Hoping to sell the wheels, tinting front doors next week same as my Tacoma was, and smalls like WeatherTech mats and the like.

 

My truck was fun to build then I got bored, was taking it back to stock.

So this one will be way more tame. New wheels, a good AT when these new Bridgestone Deulers wear out, tint match to rear windows..

Not a huge fan of the stick on visors or the bug deflector, so might get in channel models and toss the bug out. Or not.

Really at this point, I'm just glad to have it. The last 2.5 weeks since my truck was totaled have been a hell of a ride, and I'm so glad it's over. Time to enjoy the new ride.

 

Snow fell on the cab. $20k in damage.

Got paid just shy of $30k for it with 57k miles, which is $5300 more than what it was brand new in 2013, so used my check to put $10k down on the Runner, the rest into savings and a little chunk to take our daughter on a little trip this summer before baby #2 pops in August.

 

Hopefully you don't find out. Lol

The process was easy, but a stressful situation. I have no complaints and now have a new love for my insurance company.

 

I considered a 17 DCLB, but I'm a bit tall so the cab was just too small. I can't fit a car seat behind both front seats, and that was a problem. Might not be a problem until my woman's car breaks down and shits the bed, but it'd be a big problem then.

Tried an Outback next which I loved, except that it wasn't a truck. Need more towing ability to haul a car project I have later this spring, so in a bit of a Eureka moment, I thought 4Runner.

3 days later this one was mine.

 

BAMF is having a tax return sale, to order sliders?

 

Do it

 

hows the ceiling height in the 5th gen since were fairly comparable in size.

 

$256 pre-shipping. Waiting on shipping quote

 

i love my BAMF sliders and him being right down the street has become dangerous to my wallet.

 

His kickout 3rd gen sliders are my favorite. Figure I'll order them and likely wait till summer to have them welded on

 

Even with the sun roof I have tons of room.

Seat is all the way down, out of habit. I'll experiment more today but it feels like a cave inside, Tacoma felt like a car. You can check it when I see you next.

2016 I test drove had no sunroof. Seems like headroom was pretty much the same in it.

 

i dream of more headroom. Im typically good with mine now that i fabbed a little on the seat brackets. Which i plan to do a little more with. Ill have to check it out, i love the interior on those.

 

Get at me, tall boo.
