    White 2014 4Runner Trail Edition - Sold

    It's honestly such a great car. I polished and waxed it two days ago and was driving it today. Not a squeak or rattle. The thing is sooooo nice to drive.

    White 2014 4Runner Trail Edition - Sold

    SALE PENDING Those of you who browse ExPo's front page will probably recognize this 4Runner. It's been in a slew of articles and for the last three years has been my daily driver and camping vehicle. Unfortunately with new projects in the works it is time to say goodbye to this trusty Toyota...

    I've driven the XOverland Icon trucks briefly (just over 100 miles) and a 200 series equipped with BP-51s at length. (six weeks and thousands of miles) While both suspensions are fantastic at high and low speeds, I didn't feel like their performance at lower speeds justified their expense...

    So I got the suspension installed and holy crap what a difference! Rides so much better now. I'll get a good photo soon and post it up.

    Oh so side note for those who are looking to upgrade their suspension. The rear shocks have an interesting surprise. The top mount for the rear shocks in an f250 is simply a normal bolt through a bushing, however the excursion utilizes a bar pin. We didnt realize this until the truck was up on...

    So good news, the suspension came in and is being installed! Please forgive the interior, in the process of finishing it out.

    I bought mine from sinister diesel and then had it painted at maaco. The gril was just over 100 i think and the paint job cost 75. It does come in black so you dont HAVE to paint it

    Ill be running an old man emu suspension again. I did consider switching things up, but I love how effective and reliable their lifts are. I dont drive fast enough for an ICON lift or something similar to make sense. We shall see, maybe some day Ill switch over, but the more complicated the lift...

    Thanks everyone! These Falken MTs ride great and are insanely quiet for their design. Cant wait to see how they do off-road. Right now they dont rub due to height, but thanks to the offset on the stock wheels. Im about to do the unspeakable... run spacers. After talking with someone running a...

    Well Im still waiting on some parts for the lift, but a friend was in desperate need of the tires currently on my truck so we figured what the heck, lets try 35's on no lift. Turned out pretty well haha. Two pics with the running boards, one without!

    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    In terms of the 4Runner it will do fine. Certainly heavy when loaded on steep grades, especially in the mountains, but it gets the job done. Heres more details on our review. http://expeditionportal.com/schutt-xventure-xv-2-the-wrap-up/
