Misdirection t4r build and trail posts

Thpught I'd keep a build page going on this rig to see where it's come from. Keeping a normal budget per year for mods.

07 sport with 146k miles.

Before I even bought the t4r I already bought the 3" red firestik and a cobra 75 CB.

11/11/16 bought it



11/13/16
Got my new wheels and tires



11/16-18 did a camping/wheeling trip with a bunch of VA guys. 19 vehicles all together. Just a few of us pictured.



Picked up a set of icons with resi's and king springs (700lbs). While on that trip from @Lots2Learn58



Black Friday deals netted me a bunch of parts.

RCI skids (front , trans, & t-case)

Toytec rear shocks with the HD superflex coils. Bought from toytec.

SPC front upper control arms.

Lift was installed by apex overland up in Greensboro, NC. living in an apartment limits what I can do sometimes and it included an alignment so seemed a good option.



Ordered ditch light brackets for the firestik mounting but going to change that here soon. (Haven't taken a pic of the brackets but you can see the antenna in pics I post)

From the Colorado FS page I scored a nice caliraised light bar.



Freshly painted front skid finally dry.



Just added more to my recovery gear. Smittybilt beaver step and 2 bubba rope soft shackles to go along with my 20' smittybilt tow strap I got on Black Friday.

 

Should be looking sweet with a lift and wheels

 

Wheels and tires already picked out. Lift getting ordered in 3 weeks

 

Gratz on the 4Runner! I would have got one too if i didn't want a bed for carrying bigger items.

 

Well. I decided to grab these 31's for now. Got a great deal and pick them up in a few hours.

 

Got the wheels and tires on.

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road this guy needs some deals!

 

I've been working on it

 

guess this died like the Snorkel GB

 

So here's a few pics from the flagpole trip. Stock runner except the wheels and tires did great.

 

Just got the front coilovers. Icon 2.5 with RR and 700lbs king springs. Toytec boss rear shocks and HD springs. Spc front uca's. and extended rear break lines. Ifs, tcase and trans skids from rci. Cbi ditch light brackets. Cobra 75 CB with 3ft red tunable tip firestik.

 

I'm adding a SOS front bumper and steel skids. Plus a rtt and rear bumper

 

Sub'd!!

 

More or less all at the same time. I'll be ordering the rear bumper in a couple weeks and the skids are already ordered. Rtt gets ordered in January or march. Bumper we are working on logistics to get it from Vegas to SC.

 

I still have my 2.5 Superflex HDs but I haven't run the RTT with the new bumper yet.

I did run the whole set up off road for the first time this last weekend since I got the new armor and I really like the way the superflexes handle the added 230 pounds back there. Really a way smoother ride than before. I still think I will make the spring upgrade once I recover financially from buying the civic though.

 

Eventually I'll upgrade to the metaltech LT kit for the rear. But glad to know the HD springs are a good start

 

Subbing cause I'm the dude that was riding your ass up RML this past weekend..

 

Cool. The t4r did ok I think. But these mods will let me go farther.

 

Yeah man it's a nice looking runner dude.
