Build Thread: Sixstringsteve's 2005 4Runner Lorenzo

^ I love those. I wonder what the bronze ones would look like.

 

[sixstringsteve]

bronze looks amazing. I think the 8.5" width would end up being too wide. Too bad he doesn't make them in a narrower size. That definitely makes me want bronze wheels now.

this nasty bumper ruins it, but it's the only bronze wheels on 4runner i can find.

I kinda dig the 5-spokes too.

I have konigs on my miata and I love them. Check out these sixshooters. It looks like I can even get them in a 8" wide. I'll have to check the backspacing.

I love those Black FJ TRD wheels you posted up earlier. Those are what I've been planning to go with on my Tacoma when I do new wheels and tires. I've also toyed with the idea of the bronze TRD wheels as well. My only issue is I would prefer to stick with a 16" wheel and the TRD pro bronze wheels are a 17".

I'd prefer to stick with a factory wheel personally, but I also like the Konigs too. I've considered them for past vehicles.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Those look great. I like factory wheels too.

Excellent truck. We had a 2004 V8 Runner with OME, ARB bumper, sliders, dual batteries, and just slightly oversized tires (265/65/17 was stock, we went to the 265/70/17). Not a single issue with that truck. Tons of power, great sound system, lots of luxury goods.

You'll love it. Keep it awhile.

I really like it. it's super comfortable for long distance trips, whether on road or off road.

i just ordered my 2.5/1.5 daystar spacer kit from amazon. $133 with free shipping. At that price it's worth experimenting with to see if I like it.

In case you need an action shot...

Indeed, I will be curious as well how you like the spacers as I have never used them.

So did you figure out if this has the xreas shock system?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I don't think it does, but I need to double check when I get home.

I also dig the 6-spoke FJ wheels.

I've got the PFran LED's in my 100. Much much better compared to stock, and I'm not the one to like those super blue headlights and such. The kit came with an extra Red LED map light, so put it in on one side. It's nice for hunting/camping outings when you don't want to mess up your night vision. Back up lights are so-so. They illuminate pretty far away, but not stuff that's up close--ie, too focused. I would just get the interior lights.

 

[sixstringsteve]

thanks for the feedback cackalak

x2, I've installed a handful of PFran kits, very happy with them including my 100.

Kurt, do you have any stock 6-spoke FJ wheels for sale?

I may have a set in storage but I'm not there to check for a while.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm quickly realizing that the double decker storage platform in the back is not useful for me since it can only hold 66 lbs. I plan on removing it and gaining another 1-2" of height. It doesn't sound like much clearance, but I could use all I can get here, especially with a sleeping platform. My wife's honda fit has more storage room than my 4runner. I'm still loving it though.
