Wow! Nice additions!
I am a HUGE fan of Shrockworks products - very stout and look great!

All editions of the 5th Gen T4R can run 17" and larger wheels. Not 16"s though, won't clear the brakes.

Finally!! Suspension is on and alignment a success. Threw on some Falken Rocky Mtn ATS tires- 275/70-18 (33x11x18 equivalent) with no rub on body mount at flex in turns. Install went without issue, took me 6hrs start to finish. XREAS removal is easy.
ICON 2.5 Remote Rezis in rear with the ICON springs
Threw in a set of MetalTech offset Lower Links for stoutness
Front has the billet UCAs and 2.5 Ext. Travel Coils
Decent rear droop with the sway bar still attached
Rails on washboard and small rutted roads like its riding across butter, feels similar to the XREAS on the roads, front swaybar is removed. LOOKS like it should.

BudBuilt Front skid in 3/16" Stainless Steel, finally installed.
Install would have been simple. Take off oem front skid, leave front bumper/crossmember support braces, bolt on Budbuilt, wheel.
But i have a Shrockworks front bumper and skid. The SW skid tucks under the crossmember braces and bolts to the frame, blocks the entire front lip of BB skid at front of frame. Does not interfere with any mounting screws of either. Easily solved by trimming the BB, but did require some fab tools (in my case a plasma). Once BB was measured and trimmed, it bolted right up with no issue.
Easy to identify notching at front edge of budbuilt, under the much thinner alum. SW skid.
Have not beat on it, but certainly is MUCH beefier than the tin can skid the runner came with. Looking forward to affording the rest of the undercarriage set to the transfer case, at some time. Looks GREAT!

Man, i sure have neglected this thread 
Runner is still killing it, no issues. My wife neglects and abuses it as much as she can, rain, snow, or shine.
Bumped the tire size up. Cooper Zeon 275/70R18 Love these tires and they are amazing in the snow.
spare fits in oem space.
Been running with Budbuilt sliders for a couple years. BOMBER!!! no shopping cart is safe. and we don't worry about the rockers when cruising the Desert or Mtn roads and trails

Guess i could add that i replaced the oem acid battery with a sealed 27F Northstar.
27f Fits perfect. Worked excellent all winter with below zero temps, runs our ARB fridge regularly
tray to fit under it:

drilled a hole in the tray on one side so i could use the stock mount bracket. holding strong.

I like those BudBuilt sliders. Been trying to decide what route I want to go.
It's been a while since I've updated my thread too. Just been enjoying life and the 4runner but one of these days I'll sit down and update it.
Runner still looks good! Great vehicle! Good on you for updating

I love them, thanks. Great support plates and mandatory kickouts. Have used them to lift the Runner a few times, and scrubbed a few rocks and stumps with them. No SERIOUS use, just your average ride. This IS my Wifes rig, after all
Check out C4Fabrication too, they have some amazing high quality looking sliders, id love a set.
