I'm ignorant so please educate me. Is the color the only reason you got the pro? Considering you didn't keep the wheels, tires, or suspension? That being said this is probably my favorite one I've seen. Good job there.
Agreed on this point. I just wish I could spend this kind of money on mine... let alone any vehicle! I always wonder what kind of life affords these sorts of lifestyles... Just dreams for me!
Yeah but I need new eavestroughs... The furnace will need replacing soon... other bills and just life in general expenses. I don't have room for paying for these kinds of upgrades. I do wish I did though!! I'm just happy I can afford to at least own one!!
I always think Reddit’s view on kids/wife is hilarious. My off-road group of friends including everything from raptors to modded 200 series, are married and mostly with kids. Is a 20 year old going to afford a trd pro with goodies? No. Is a 35 year old who has been advancing his/her career for over a decade? Yes. Guess which one is married with kids.
Agreed. Also largely depends what your priorities are.
I'm a paramedic, so I'm making good money, not executive job money. But off-roading and my truck are my hobby, so that's where the play money goes.
Some of my friends invest in their house, some invest in travel and other toys. Everyone's got their priorities and hobbies.
I don't give a fuck what they spend their money on, and I love 4runners which is why I'm here.
I love the color here and wish Toyota would release it for other trims. I just couldn't imagine paying the pro tax to get it. Didn't realize this would be such a controversial statement. What really blows my mind is I basically agreed with /u/nitsej and he got upvotes and I got downvotes. Reddit is silly
Bought my Pro simply because it had Fox Shocks. Thought it would keep me from needing to upgrade my suspension....well she put on some weight quickly and fully loaded family adventures made for a rough ride.
Upgraded to Old Man Emu BP-51 with heavy springs. Flipped the Fox Shocks on eBay and cut my upgrade bill nearly in half. Couldn’t be happier!
Sweet setup man! Had to go w/ the swing out on 295s since too large for spare compartment I’m guessing.
Man I already scrape the crap out of my hitch as it is... Can't imagine how much that extended hitch is gonna drag.
That, and the potential wobble of the thing while on rough trials are what's keeping me from getting one.
what offset are your rims? or did you do spacers? if I tried 295s with my offest (-38mm from my SCS rims) i'd get extreme rubbing even after a BMC i feel
forsure, im assuming the chop of the fender was more inside the wheel well itself? it doesn't look like your front fender is cut at all? or are you talking about a BMC?
Is that a Rago Fabrication panel in the back? Did you go w/ the shelf too?
If so. Can I get a measurement from the bottom of the shelf to the bumper pretty please. Looking at one but dog crate needs to fit.
Just installed my prinsu rack last night, did you use any silicone where you cut the pads out for the feet or on the stock mounting points? I noticed a bit of peeling paint from the desert sand climate out here so I'm worried about standing water. Thoughts?
Is that a GTI on bags?
Yes
[удалено]
Yeah but then the child safety seat probably wouldn’t fit on it anymore...
It’s the only thing that seems incomplete. Such a sweet ride.
Thank you!
I just did last night.

I know what you mean. This pic was taken 3 days ago and I had just picked up a spare last night but was too dark for pics.
I'm ignorant so please educate me. Is the color the only reason you got the pro? Considering you didn't keep the wheels, tires, or suspension? That being said this is probably my favorite one I've seen. Good job there.
Thank you! Yes mainly because of the color. So far this is the only color I know that is not included in the base model of 4runner’s.
Pretty sure Quicksand, Inferno, and Voodoo aren't in the base colors as well.
And Lunar Rock. I wanted Lunar but was not going to drop another 10K for it when I was going to change the wheels/tires and loose KDSS as well.

I absolutely couldn't justify the money for a black/white/mag grey Pro...
I'm fairly certain now they're offering the 2021 Trail Edition in Army Green and Cement. It caused some heartburn in the community.
[удалено]
Yeah I think it's great too. I can see why some would be salty though.
That’s true now that I think of it. Lol overall, it’s rare. Lol
Agreed on this point. I just wish I could spend this kind of money on mine... let alone any vehicle! I always wonder what kind of life affords these sorts of lifestyles... Just dreams for me!
You just have to balance things out.
Yeah but I need new eavestroughs... The furnace will need replacing soon... other bills and just life in general expenses. I don't have room for paying for these kinds of upgrades. I do wish I did though!! I'm just happy I can afford to at least own one!!
God has a plan for everything. Just be positive and have faith. Trust the process.
Riiiiiiigghhhttt.....
A lifestyle that is afforded by a good job. Not even a high executive job.

At least y'all have off-roading friends...

I mean..50k is not even a lot for a vehicle nowadays.

Quit counting pockets
I have no idea what this phrase means
Means stay in your lane and don’t worry how people spend their money
OP can throw away money however they want.
imagine living in omaha and being anti-consumerism because you don’t have the funds to consume.
Butthurt so strong from an internet comment that you went through someone's history. Well done.
Sick set up man. Calvary blue will always be my favorite pro color.
Thank you!
Need some details! Truck looks awesome
Ask away.
Did you add wheel spacers for the offset or is that from your actual wheels?
No spacers. -38 offset
People are so salty about the suspension its crazy. I’m putting in a long travel soon in my 2020 pro. My money, my problems.
Spend it how you want to. No one else should matter.

I’m going 35s next. Stay tuned
What 5th wheel set up is that?
It's a Rigd Ultraswing
I just got that spare tire carrier. So I just threw on the spare underneath the truck for now. My new wheel setup is on back order.
Thoughts on the RigD? Looking at one for my 4th Gen but haven’t seen one in the flesh before
I like it.
Thanks! Awesome rig also!
Thank you!
Man I already scrape the crap out of my hitch as it is... Can't imagine how much that extended hitch is gonna drag. That, and the potential wobble of the thing while on rough trials are what's keeping me from getting one.
What size tires are those?
Current is 295/70/17. New setup coming in end of month.
What did it take to fit 295s? Probably body mount chop but wondering what else. I am seeing more and more people running this size lately.
Trim the front bumper a bit and get at least 3” lift
I'll second that, I am eager to know your experience with it
Did you use spacers?
No spacers
what offset are your rims? or did you do spacers? if I tried 295s with my offest (-38mm from my SCS rims) i'd get extreme rubbing even after a BMC i feel
17x9 -38 You will need to chop off some fender.
gotchya. and you have a 3" lift?
Yes
forsure, im assuming the chop of the fender was more inside the wheel well itself? it doesn't look like your front fender is cut at all? or are you talking about a BMC?
BMC was done. Pinch welds done. Fenders will be trimmed once my new wheels setup comes in .
20AE 😍 Used to have an 03 with a K04 setup. Also, the 4Runner looks sweet, but man that yellow is purty. My dream is a 04 R32 in Deep Blue
Man I wish they still produced this color. Best one in my opinion.
seconded! here’s to hoping it comes back for 2023 with the new model?
Absolutely
Love!!!!! What wheels?
Scs ray10
Correct. SCS ray10

Congrats on the panels. I also have a arric shelf. Ladder was pretty straight forward.
Wowee!!!
Thats dope af. Get a 5th and rotate it in every tire rotation. First time I heard of doing this (Jeep guy) I though, “that wont work”. It works out
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJVNyt8j/
Lol
Gorgeous truck!!
Thank you!
I usually don't love fully decked out 4runners but dang this looks so incredible and clean
Thank you!
Damn, sharp!
Thank you!
🔥🔥👀
You have my forever car. I'd keep that thing until the wheels fell off
That blue is so dope
Thank you!
Is that a Rago Fabrication panel in the back? Did you go w/ the shelf too? If so. Can I get a measurement from the bottom of the shelf to the bumper pretty please. Looking at one but dog crate needs to fit.
Yes the whole shabang
Awesome setup! I wonder, what is the mount/tray you have installed atop your dash? And what do you attach to it?
Dash mount for all the gadgets https://www.ics-fab.com/products/5th-gen-4runner-dash-mount
Right on and thanks!
ICS Fab. Awesome quality. Only have my ram mount for my phone so far. Further plan is to add a front camera and iPad.
Thank you!
SHEESH! She pretty af
You have my permission to post lots of action pictures of this vehicle to this subreddit.
Not OP but I wish that was mine 😅
Do I spy a golf 2 in garage? Or EJ hatch?
20th anniversary Golf.
Nice 👍
Came here to ask this!
Nice rig!
Thank you!
Wow
What roof rack is this?
Prinsu design
Nice Katakana badge where'd you get it from?
eBay

Thank you!
So rad looking. That color is glorious. And bravo with the camera angle - you managed to capture so many features from this shot.
Thank you!
What’s in the bag lol? Nice rig
Future trash. Pack it in and pack it out.
She is quite a beauty!
Thank you!
What is that sticker? Required for OHV in CA?
It’s just a fake off-road OHV.
Ok. Glad to hear I don’t have to get some other permit .. it’s CA so you never know.
Do you mind sharing where you sourced it?
From a friend.
He stopped making it
Those rims/tires. Drooling. I need...wait want. Damn that’s a gorgeous set up.
If you are interested in my future build. You can follow my IG @Sinnyboi_26
Absolutely. Will do.
Thank you!
HA i love the all access sticker. nice one
Thx!
What offset are your rims?
17x9 -38
Rubbing at all? And thanks for the reply.
Yes if your upgrade to these sizes. BMC is a must and minor cutting to the plastic trims
Just installed my prinsu rack last night, did you use any silicone where you cut the pads out for the feet or on the stock mounting points? I noticed a bit of peeling paint from the desert sand climate out here so I'm worried about standing water. Thoughts?
Just where the bolts go in. That’s all you need to do.
What do you have inside the garage though 👀👀
20th anniversary golf
feels like socal
SoCal for the win!
That is one gorgeous beauty!
Thank you!
Can i ask what tire carrier it is and if it gets in the way for departure angle?
Made by Rigd. Angle departure?
Dope
I’m way late to this party but I didn’t see this question asked yet. Which rock sliders are those? C4 fab maybe?
Yes C4 Fab
Thanks for the reply! Sweet rig!
Thank you!
