    Hello everyone!
    I am anxiously awaiting delivery (hopefully this thursday) of my silver 2019 TRD premium 4runner!!

    I sold my 2015 wrangler unlimited Rubicon to upgrade to the 4runner.
    My jeep was built on 37s with all the bells and whistles: gears, custom drive shafts, axles shafts and trusses, bumpers, dual battery etc
    I loved that jeep but it was just too small. I also kinda rushed the build and was never happy with some of the mods.

    So... for this build I plan to try and take it slow and and pick exactly what I want.
    I have for sure decided on fn fx pro wheels with 285/70/17 falken at3 tires (I think).
    I thought I was set on a icon stage 5 or 6 kit for the lift but after researching it a ton I think I will go a different route. So I'm looking for suggsuggest on quality components for the lift.

    Man, that was a long first post!!

    Welcome and did you opt for the Off Road or the SR5 Premium?

    King’s. If you’re going to spend the money on Icon. Get Kings, some UCA’s from Camburg or Total Chaos!

    Welcome! :thumbsup:

    Being your first Toyota you will realize how boring they are, meaning not a lot of bells and whistles and so reliable it just does the job day after day. Sometimes you get the feeling for something new. Resist that feeling. ;) Have fun with your build and look forward to the pics and where you take your 4.

    Update!
    I got my T4RPOR on April 4th at midnight (long strory)!
    The next day I ordered:
    king coilovers with external adjustments (extended travel, 600lb springs), matching rear king shocks, Dirt king boxed uca's, icon 2" rear coils, ome rear packer (for lean, if needed). I also ordered the xenon HID high and low beam kit, yellow led fog lights and full interior led replacement bulbs.

    Everything but the king shocks have been delivered, hopefully they get here in a week or 2!

    Now I am just trying to decide on a rear bumper! I'm torn between CBI, expedition one, and c4 fab. Any help on deciding is greatly appreciated!
