Hello,
So I was going to buy an used 4Runner when I spotted the new LC in person at the dealer and just bought a trail dust FE. It just looked awesome and ticked all the boxes for me.
So far, just a wrap and 275/70 R18 K03s with RWL on the outside. Never driven on the stock tires.
Had the truck for a few months now and have been loving it more and more. I wasn't originally a big fan of the hybrid turbo at first since the throttle response felt weird but I've gotten used to it to the point where I feel really connected to the powerplant. I live the heart of the city of Boston and it feels really nimble and quick around town and its very easy to parallel park. So far been out off-roading quite a bit, worked awesome at the beach in Martha's Vineyard, the muddy ATV trails and all the crazy hill climbs around my hometown. I am only getting around 14mpgs with these tires and with the small tank, only about 200 mile range which is a little annoying, otherwise I'm very happy with it.
Here's my plan:
I love the look of the larger tires with a slightly wider stance so I think I'll do the following:
315/70 R17 K03s (need the white lettering!) on Method 703s +35s for a touch of poke. Tires are "only 34.4" so I'm hoping I can keep the FE mud flaps.
I also want a high clearance low profile front bumper with a winch so I think I will be springing for a Dissent bumper.
As for suspension, anyone know when the ARM OME kit will be out? I am looking for a small lift only, something around 2" or so in the front and whatever will make it level in the rear.
Truck will be experience a fair amount of off-roading but still needs to be ready for a long ski trip and weekend use.
Would love any suggestions on suspension alternatives. I could be convinced to spring for some kings.
