    @Aratinga I recently experienced rubbing from similar lift and 1.25inch spacers, but 285 tires. If you don't want rubbing at full turn, reverse, and when you stuff the front end: you're looking at mudflaps long gone, fender liner and valance cap trim, and a beneficial body mount chop. Do you see a rubbing mark on the metal behind the front wheel now?

    Okay… huge shout out to ICS for showing amazing customer service! This goes to show the value they take in their customers and it explains why I am happy I chose them as my vehicles phone mount.

    Quick background:
    We were waiting in a drive-thru and I went to show my wife pictures for the day. I tried turning the mount when it was a bit tight and didn’t want to budge (oh yeah it is a SOLID phone mount). Anyways not being super aggressive to the point I thought I would break anything the back end just sheered right off. Well I was wrong and wasn’t careful enough.

    i reached out to ICS this morning with the below pictures trying to see if they have any suggestions on how to fix this.

    later that morning I get a notification from Shop telling me a delivery is on the way. I check my email and they say they will send me a brand new one. I was like shocked and this isn’t the first time they helped me out. I highly recommend ICS.

    After sheered bolt:

    I put a lot of highway miles on my truck in the summer at 80mph. Let’s just say average ambient temps are 65-85 degrees night/day. Would I see an advantage to using 0w-30? And go back to 20 again in the fall/winter?

    It's hard for me to say exactly.

    Some charts show 0w-20 good up to 85 degrees while others show it up to 104 degrees.

    I have some summer days in the 90's with the rare 100's. Some longer commutes in the 90's as well.

    0w-20 is probably fine, but I figure what's the harm in extending the oils range with 0w-30?

    I'm kinda late to this party, but assuming you did some things other people said, what about light bars, more under body armor, getting some fancy'd up tail lights, and interior racks. I could keep going forever. One thing I love about my 4runner is how i changed the third brake light. It looks so much better than the stock one and doesn't get super dusty.

    Beautiful! I have the same wheels but waiting for it to be install. What is your lift suspension? Any issues or rubbing?

    Hey I just wanted to say this is really cool and I appreciate you sharing. We all can by shit and bolt it on but to modify, paint, plasti dip etc IMO is another level and gets into the more creative side which I tend to stay away from myself out of fear of my inability to make it look good. So hats off you you. Very cool. And I hate chrome and worked hard to get rid of mine, so this is near and dear to my heart.

    Thanks for the compliment. Here they are installed. Big badge is next. To cover or pull it and dip it. That is the question.91B81EDB-E23C-4542-A145-B0AE184E9008.jpg

    Wow, hate to agree with you. What is that…a good 4 inches beyond tire width? Something to keep in mind taking corners in parking lots or gas stations with those concrete tubes sticking up out of the ground. That would be an expensive day if they dont tear off from the body cleanly. Any gas mileage hit?

    But do they help with getting in and out of the 4runner?

    If your wife finds them useful to to climb in, that’s one thing. But I have heard that the toyota version of those steps have horribly positioned steps that actually get in the way as you climb in or out. Not sure if those are positioned the same.

    I had the predator steps on mine for a while. I thought they were actually perfectly placed. Me being 6'4" I could just step in on the side of the step itself and my 5'2" partner used them to step in. And they don't stick out of the vehicle 5" lol

    Had to replace a leaking left front Eibach shock.

    Between shop labor, re-alignment and two Uber rides, I'm several hundred dollars lighter today and now paranoid about the other three corners. If the rears go, I can do those myself, but I don't mess with coilover assemblies.
