Bump! Great looking truck

 

Looks amazing did you get a lift on your truck?

 

Yes, it's about 3". And thank you!

 

Truck looks really nice. How are those Dakars treating you?

 

Subd. Love the suspension. Will be doing the same to mine before summers end.

 

Really in love with everything. Installed the RCI skid today

 

I'm sorry man, I didn't see your post. I really like them! The whole setup and Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road really know their stuff and are super helpful

 

Found a fellow adventurer about a week ago. I'll tell ya..if I ever sway from a truck..those 4Runners look awesome!

 

Need more lights! @CaliRaisedLed. Tired of finding places/ drilling into my dash for switches let alone all the wiring! Perfect solution by Switch Pros

 

Definitely keep me informed and get pics of what you get!

 

thank you so much

 

First tow for my girl! I think I'm too excited about my truck haha.

 

Rewired my RGB Rick lights so they are all in the same position in all four corners, mounted the Bluetooth module for those lights right under the driver seat and switched them to the Switch Pro panel. Waiting to install a few white leds that aren't courtesy lights for when I offroad at night or am just chilling around camp. Also installed a third blue led in my console.

 

I really want to do the BHLM, but am definitely worried to do it myself. Did you do yours?

 

Sorry really new to lifts and had a couple questions. Did you go Bilsteins on the front and Fox on the back? I was also wondering how stiff the ride was. I'm trying to get a lift without breaking the bank that still functions well and yours looks really nice. Could you put a couple links to what you got I can't seem to find the right ones. Thanks!

 

Well..update. been super busy this past month. Moved to Washington and am loving it. Did some exploring. Before I moved I installed the Prinsu Rack with a 43" slim light bar. Safe to say..I'm done modding my truck unless stuff needs to be replaced haha. Completely happy with this truck. If anything, I'd cut the wind deflector do I can flush mount the light bar.

 

Awesome truck and hello from another Spokane member! Is that last picture taken from around Spokane, and if so, where at??

 

Thanks! Yes it was, up by Colville. Was just driving around and found a public back country fire road. Can't remember the name of the turn off though
