    We just gave our 2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 to our daughter. She recently turned 16.

    I drive a silver 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road 4x4 double cab.
    With American Outlaw wheels and a Bilstein 5100 lift in the front.

    My wife has a white 2012 Toyota Tacoma Texas Edition 4x4 double cab with 28,000 miles on it. Hers has brand new Falken Wildpeak A/Tw3 10ply load rand E.

        My white ‘18 CM came with those wheels, couldn’t take it so I had them powder coated black and left the center caps chrome. Like my best good uncle says, “I got to have a little jewelry”. Came out super sharp. I’ve seen a few other guys do it, too. I’ll try to post pics later, all I have on this phone are pics of pics on my old phone. Pm me and I’ll text ‘em if you want to see ‘em.

          What are some opinions on the best cost effective way to achieve 2-3" of lift while keeping a slight rake and not killing ride quality? My TRD Off-Road Taco isn't a pavement queen and I'd like to get a little more tire clearance for when I go up in size. Also, with a 2.5" +/- lift, what tire size will clear without rubbing issues at full lock in turns? I see some guys just cranking up some Bilstein 5100's and achieving a couple of inches.

              Bilstein 5100 is the answer. Buy the toytec kit to make it easier.

              My old taco had bilstein set up and I can't honestly say the icon stage 2 I have currently is worth the additional $. Tome will tell.

              I also had a uniball fail in less than 35k miles. Icon tried to say uniball is unreliable and tried to sell me the delta joint upgrade. I got my kit before delta joint was a thing. When I bought mine they sold the uniball as the greatest UCA ever. I told icon if another fails before 100k I won't be buying icon again.

                I got right at 2 inches in the front with 5100s and they're not cranked all the way.

                265 75s fit and dont rub and I run it like a ranger in the summer filling feeders

                  If I go taller and wider with the 20” rims with the current wheel offset I’ll be pretty close to hitting the upper control arms. Going to go down to 18’s with a +25 offset and 295/70’s.

                      For those with the four runners, do the back seats lay down and make a large flattish space??


                      Well I just went back to a Taco after having a third gen and then going to an F-150. This time around I looked hard for a second gen. I prefer the way the 4.0 and 5 speed auto combo performs to the 3.5 and 6 speed auto. Both solid trucks. I just prefer the 4.0

                        2016 Trail with Bilstein 5100's and Wheeler springs. It's been on all the Ouray jeep trails and a lot of other trails in Colorado and Moab. It doesn't wheel as well as a jeep but that's mostly because of the way the body sticks out. Lot's more cargo area though and I can sleep in the back of it stretched out and I'm over 6'.

                            Good thread!

                            I've got a 2019 TRD Off Road 4x4, Double Cab, LWB, in the Quicksand (like pictured above). What are your opinions on leveling kits? I've had just the blocks up front on a previous Ford to level it out and I think I'd like something different. Looking at the 3 and 1 leveling kits and upgrading the stock Bilstein shocks.

                            Don't want to say money isn't a problem but I'd like to do it better this go around and not go cheap to save a buck. What do you guys think?
