I started with cutting my front plastic bumper and reshaping my inner fender liner to contour to the new shape. I then trimmed it out with 3m vehicle trim. I went with a less aggressive cut to still provide rigidity using the lower contour as a starting point. I then measured 6.5 inches down from the top of the bumper(where it meats the fender) 4.25 inches beneath the fog light contour and 2.5 inches in from the middle portion of the bumper.
Well the time has come where I want to get into some larger tires. Time to give the 4Runner a cut or two. Did a stage one bumper cut and had a good friend help with a bmc
With the nice weather this weekend and a boat load of paracord I wrapped my wheel because it was starting to show it’s wear
Hopefully soon my 4 inch lift springs and new shackles will be coming in the mail. So far all that has arrived is my shock hoops and axle rebuild kit. Got to love the waiting game.
With some parts on order I decided to use the wheels and tires off my 4Runner. The method wheels unfortunately don’t fit over the front hubs but with a little persuasion I got them on. I also got new headlight bezels. I also added spidertrax wheel spacers.

Out with the old rusty skid and in with the aluminum. Love the greenlane off-road products.

Update: I now have sliders! Little bit late but I have greenlane off-road aluminum sliders. Work great and already worth their money.
The workers at greenlane made sure I got the products in a timely manner and they showed up the day before our annual camping trip.
Well moved up from my toyo at2 tires (285/70/r17) and on to some cooper at3 xlt tires (285/75/r17). The price on the coopers was great and moved up to the biggest size I wanted without having to regear the 5th Gen.

Thanks for the recommendation! Stellar built definitely does some cool builds! I was lucky to find the core roof rack and we got to have a good talk because I had issues with core when I got my last roof rack just like he did!

So I’ve managed to keep myself busy with a couple more additions to the 4Runner. First off I added a rubber mat to the back made from a 3/4 inch stall mat then I found a core outfitters rack online and scooped it up

Unfortunately I haven’t made it out west in the 4Runner yet. Just got that one from a good friend as a gift
I also went a little paracord crazy and wrapped my worn out steering wheel and did matching grab handles
Few more pictures
some rough dimensions I used. Didn’t want to go to aggressive because I still wanted to be able to reform the inner fender.
