Magnetic Gray Thread!!!

What wheels are those?

 

They look like Level 8 Guardians.

Clean and looking sexy!!!

 

Curious, what's that thing in the middle?

 

Looks sharp man I like it

 

Are those 20's? And what is the crane?

 

If I were wanting to get a small lift on my truck (I don't want it all jacked up cause then I need bigger tires) I want somewhat bigger tires but not huge ones. What is a good price range to bank off of? So I know whether I am getting ripped off or its a deal. Preciate it!

Haven't seen a crane mod yet! Write up?!

 

You should do your research on TW. There are more threads here on every type of lift imaginable. Step 1- decide what type of use/abuse your truck will take. Step 2- start to research applicable types of lift per step 1. Step 3- buy and install your lift.

4WD Toyota Owners magazine recently did a write up on a sick 4 Runner for a guy in a chair. All hand controls, dude wheels some hard shit.

 

It was Birdman's FJ.

 

That's the one!

 

Great read on that article. Great magazine too been getting it for about 5 years now.

 

From last weekend the day after I installed my Icons. Had some fun running down Trabuco Wash to get quick test of the new suspension:





Today after I had her washed and then Plasti-dipped my grill and badges:

 

Yep, it's a swing lift (looks like a Bruno brand) for a wheelchair. I worked in the mobility industry for years. Some of the set ups we did were amazing. We actually built a dodge pickup (used a body lift and dropped the floor pan) that had a hydrolic platform lift, similar to what you see in vans, that slid under the cab of the truck.

It was similar to this truck

There is a pin on the bottom of the guys wheelchair that goes into an automatic locking base mounted in the drivers position allowing him to drive from his wheelchair.

 

i love this thread... its awesome being able to see what your truck would look like with all of these different mods. here is my new '13 Prerunner

 

they will fit with minor trimming.
but i'd go with the 5100s alone and set them at 2.5 and forget about the spacers.

 

I keep goin back and forth between a 2011 tacoma. Would love an access cab 6MT. I love my 4Runner but there is a ton more aftermarket for the Tacoma.

Yup the level 8 guardians. Good looking wheels just a little heavy. Wanted something different then black wheels.

Thanks for the kind words Andrew.

 

There's a lot of good shit you can do to your Runner. I think the aftermarket is slower to catch up because not many people feel like cutting their new $40k investment into pieces. Take your time with the build, the market does now (or will) provide what you need when you need it. And there's something to be said for a rig that'll keep your camping gear and your groceries dry.

 

Yes that is correct it is a lift for my wheelchair. It just stows it in the bed of the truck then I'm off...

Wheels are 20" XD's..

 

I was looking to go this route then I changed my mind. Price was a small part but I didn't need a UVL because I'm in a manual chair... Also you lose A LOT of ground clearance. So I transfer my ass in my truck..
