Magnetic Gray (MGM)Thread

They will work good, have Mickey Thomson Baja boss a/t to, was in soda springs last month. tires did well, no issues.

 

Eibach stage 2r, rrw rr6-h with stock size MT Baja boss at(for now).

 

very nice..

 

What's the lift?

 

Bilstein 5100 F/R (front clip is on the lowest setting), Bilstein rear springs 1.5, OME 2887 front springs and trim packer to compensate for the lean.

 

-38 scs?

 

17x8.5 -10 285/70r17. Had 17X9 -38 w 295/70r17 Geolandar on my (now sold) taco. Looks good and all but I didn't want to go through the process of BMC, cutting, trimming and hammering the pinch weld on the 4r.

 

I took the dog to the park this morning. Turned around and snapped a pic. Still on original tires. I'm looking forward to changing them out.

 

MGM gang in AR

 

Hello all!! This is my 1st post. Just got mine a few weeks ago. I added BFG's to the stock wheels and think they look pretty good! Roof rack and Bumper are next!

 

MGM

 

Just realized what MGM stands for...picked up this 2018 OR with 93k miles. One owner, Dealer serviced locally in Tulsa it’s entire life every 5k miles oil changes. Happy to be here. 2/1 cornfed kit in the mail. Long term: RCLT Kit from Marlin and 37s

 

Looks Sweet-- Do you rub at all? Have you done a leveling kit? I'm in the same boat as you. I had 35s on my taco that I had chopped up and done all kinds of cutting and welding. Avoiding that for a bit until I go big with a RCLT kit and 37s

 

Just realized I asked if you had a leveling kit. Nevermind. Where did you buy this setup?

 

Found some trail SE wheels on FB marketplace…they match exactly.

 

Looks great!

 

Thats a fantastic find!

 

23, OR with bilstein 5100’s front set to .85” factory coils.

 

Greetings from the chilled midwest. Recently found this 2014 Trail Premium and decided it was time to have another 4Runner after a Tacoma and FJ. First was 1988 that was losing the rust battle. Tough little truck, wish I had a bigger garage.

Looks great for a 10-year old truck, congratulations.

 

Thanks! Pretty sure it lived it's early years in a garage and it had a regular service, oil change, maintenance record from the first owners. Interior is immaculate. Bare minimum undercarriage rust. Bought from Boland Ford in Hannibal. Wow, they detailed it to perfection. Even re-balanced the wheels to stop a slight steering wheel wobble.
It will spend the rest of it's days in our garage for sure. Huge ride improvement with the Eibach over the tired OEM. Nice to sit on heated seats when it's 19 degrees in the morning!

 

glwood54,

Just noticed your Albuquerque connection. We're out in Corrrales at least once per year, usually in the fall, before or after the balloon fiesta. Enchilada's, chili relleno's and tamales for days. We always bring home at least 25lbs of frozen green & red chili's.

 

Glad to have you here. That's pretty much the best time of year to visit Burque. Our daughter and her husband have a home and casita near Old Town that are AirBnB, and they're always booked solid during the Balloon Fiesta.

The wife and I were just at her sister's home in Corrales the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Pssst- if you get red and green here, it's called chile. Chili has beans and comes from Texas.

 

My bad. Been away too long. I've always heard Texan's never put beans in their chili!

Fifty years ago I lived in Old Town. Good times! Low rent! Safer than North & South Valley or up in the Canyon. My brother & his family had a nice place out in Placitas before it was subjugated and civilized. That was before Rio Rancho had gobbled up the entire West mesa and started pushing out westward.

Not sure how '25 is going to shake out for chile shopping. Trying to coordinated scheduled vacations among family can be challenging. Besides visiting in Corrales, we try to visit the Jemez area and Valle Grande. Now, we're also trying and get back up to Navajo Lake to fish the San Juan and enjoy the wine festival. That's an overly ambitious travel plan to cover roughly 3K miles.

If we can nail down some specific dates, I'll let you know & maybe we can meet up for some tasty relleno's with red chile sauce!

 

After lunch pic today MGM is still my favorite Toyota color

 

TBH MGM was my 2nd choice after white. But in retrospect glad I went “gray man” with MGM. Looking pretty factory / OE but just a bit more capable.

 

No rubbing even on full load (wife, 2 almost teens and whatever I can stuff in the back). Just trimmed the front inner plastics and front mud guards.

Bilstein 5100 F/R (front clip is on the lowest setting), Bilstein rear springs 1.5, OME 2887 front springs and trim packer to compensate for the lean. 17X8.5 -10 / BFG 285/70r17.

 

I know, I know, but whats your mpg like that high? At least what shows on the dash.

Looks great either way

 

What wheel is that?
