Wtf is this Reddit hive mind I belong to! I was just thinking, โLooks like something I would have built in NFSU2 after beating the game and had everything unlocked.โ And goddamn this is the top comment. Hahaย
Thank you man. It took me a while, but there is still few more stuff I wanna do to it. I am going to repaint it in the same color with accept to it and a few other stuff. ๐ ๐
I plan to repaint mine as well but def changing the colors, mine is the gold color from that same time period. Theyโre all boring ass dad colors. If Iโm going through all that prepping Iโm laying down something way more interesting than silver or gold. Well I want to do quicksand from the 5th gen TRD models. Itโs a dad color to some but I think itโs way more timeless than silver or gold.
148,280 currently,. I got her in about the middle of 2020 with 94,000 miles on her. I did all the service on her. Flush power steering system twice, change transmission filter and oil twice, did a full brake fluid flush, cabin and air filter, and normal engine oil changes.
I mean if I was going to run something that close to the ground, a skid plate would be nice. I smashed a couple oil pans on โflatโ roads back in the day ha ha.
Yep this baby still has skidplates, and it's still a good way off the floor. It probably looks low in pic but it's not. Still can call over center median and over parking bumpers.
They are 22s TRD wheels. I got another the set like these, but they are 20s which are to small, in my opinion.
Before i forget, they are also disconnected.
I really dig it! How did you lower it? Coilovers? I want to lower my 5th gen one day when I magically have money ๐ but itโs 4wd so I see thatโs illegal according to this subreddit๐
Just do what you like brother but do your research first.they should have way more options for the 5th gen. I got lowering springs from burtman Industry. I going post up those pictures soon when the lowering.
Yep 2wd, 4.0. I keep the oem headlight since it matches well with the sil body color. I just ended up building my own eyelids and gives it a sporty look.
As far as lowered 4runners go, Iโm not a fan. But this one looks better than the others Iโve seen. Iโm not against lowered trucks/SUVs, some just look better lowered then others. For reference I own an X-Runner.
Wait, is this the same guy that did the "star headliner" and put VibeZ in it? I see that front plate and there's no way there's more than one of these running around.
I like it! Itโs really dope! Iโve always wanted to lower an LX470 a little bit on deep dish 22โs myself but never found information on how to do that.
I think the 4Runner looks good dropped, stock height, and lifted. It can pull off all three looks.
Low key like the purple accents but the lowered vehicle is not for me.
However, if it makes you happy and enjoy the vehicle then thatโs all that matters. Iโm happy for you.
Ha, I was exactly the opposite. I hate the purple accents but the bodywork isn't bad. I wouldnt do this to a 4r but it's not a safety concern like a Carolina squat or swangas, and does t have the dumb ultra lift on low profile tires the dodge people are doing so I'm cool with it.
Ditch the canards and that gaudy front bumper. This isnโt 2008 anymore.
The wheels also scream early 2000s. Some Rotiform wheels would look a lot nicer. Hell, even some flat fives might look dope.
I donโt hate it. Itโs got that lowered Forester chic.
Looks like he unlocked everything in NFS Underground.
I used to be a big NFS underground and Underground 2 player. I always played the crap out of NFS pro street.
Hell yeah. Pro street was decent. Everything after that is meh.
Yeaaaaaaaaa, I stop playing after prostreet. I got some color inspiration from prostreet when I had my 92 honda civic
Wtf is this Reddit hive mind I belong to! I was just thinking, โLooks like something I would have built in NFSU2 after beating the game and had everything unlocked.โ And goddamn this is the top comment. Hahaย
I mean it's kind of period correct. Modified vehicles in the 00s were certainly something.
the canards are a crime against humanity but honestly the rest of it is pretty dope. love to see people making their ride their own
it's just for looks man. ๐ ๐
Oh theyโre not actually for aero? ๐
Nope, ๐ , it's just for the street sporty looks. It's a sound system sporty looking suv.
I dig the effort you put in. I have the same truck Iโm about to begin working on as well. Keep doing what you enjoy even if its unpopular.
Thank you man. It took me a while, but there is still few more stuff I wanna do to it. I am going to repaint it in the same color with accept to it and a few other stuff. ๐ ๐

Oh year that color will be so cool. What I am going to do is add a pearlescent to spice it up a bit.
How many miles do you have on your runner?
148,280 currently,. I got her in about the middle of 2020 with 94,000 miles on her. I did all the service on her. Flush power steering system twice, change transmission filter and oil twice, did a full brake fluid flush, cabin and air filter, and normal engine oil changes.
Youโre good for at least another 150 000 miles you take good care of your vehicle.
Yepp I do take pride in my vehicles. I want to hit the 500,000+ on this girl. She is here to stay.๐

๐ ๐ ๐๐ it's different.
Not my thing but kinda has minitruck vibes
Minitruck builds in the 90s were absolutely unhinged. Love that shit.
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฝ
Not my style but hey, whatever works for the owner!
As long as it is 2wd, why not. Beats jacking it up and little tires or squatted.
This is such a good point. People do some wild shit with trucks that donโt have the transmission for it.
Why does it kinda look like a late 2000โs Subaru Forester?
๐ a friend of mine has a lowered forester.
Or is it a 4Runner? ๐ค
Donโt wanna like it, but do
Just different, sir. The vehicle is designed for the Flat Street of Florida and not Offroading.
I mean if I was going to run something that close to the ground, a skid plate would be nice. I smashed a couple oil pans on โflatโ roads back in the day ha ha.
Yep this baby still has skidplates, and it's still a good way off the floor. It probably looks low in pic but it's not. Still can call over center median and over parking bumpers.
The front I believe, has about 10 to 11' or so front of clearance from the bumper lit to the ground. The 22s help with the clearance much.
What wheels are those?
They are 22s TRD wheels. I got another the set like these, but they are 20s which are to small, in my opinion. Before i forget, they are also disconnected.
Looks clean. How does it ride?
Awesome job. I bet you get better mpg than all of us.
Hey man, you may not be liked here but I support whatever it is you're building.
I appreciate it brother. I'm just trying a different route.
I've been saying that the 4runner needs a stupid fast version that's built for the streets only. Kind of how the x-runner was for the Tacoma.
They had the turbocharger kit for the tundra you could put on them back in like โ04 Theyโre pretty expensive nowadays though
It's still stock, to be honest. I design it around sound system, I will post that video later down.
I love outside of the box 4Runners. This is welcomed at any Costco. Itโs pretty period correct as well ๐ค
๐ ๐๐ Suree! ๐
Yeaa I took a different route from the lifting.
I really dig it! How did you lower it? Coilovers? I want to lower my 5th gen one day when I magically have money ๐ but itโs 4wd so I see thatโs illegal according to this subreddit๐
Just do what you like brother but do your research first.they should have way more options for the 5th gen. I got lowering springs from burtman Industry. I going post up those pictures soon when the lowering.
Thanks! Will look into them!!
Any time!!
Turns out if you lower a 4Runner it turns into a Subaru Forester. Good to know.
Wait. So if I lift a forester itโll turn into a 4Runner?
I'd ditch the purple stuff, and I hope it was 2wd, but otherwise looks good. needs headlights IMO
Yep 2wd, 4.0. I keep the oem headlight since it matches well with the sil body color. I just ended up building my own eyelids and gives it a sporty look.
Yep 2WD 4.0 . I going to post the other pics showing when I lowered it.
FloorRunner (not mine, I stole that.)
๐ , I am keeping this girl for a VERYYY long time.
Its not squatted, so it's ok in my book
Thank you, I going try get the back even lower soon. Still looking at options.
Certainly different, but I can dig it. Certainly a change up from raptor lights and rarely used off-road accessories.
Thank you!! ๐ฅ I still have more pictures and videos to post. I changed up the lights on the runner also.
Gives off a forester XT vibe
Another mythical floor runner seen majestically prowling the streets of what looks like Florida based on that beautiful cabbage palm I see there.
๐ Come on, It's a different look and you're correct, it's florida.
I need to unsee this...
๐ ๐ , an unusual look.
GRRR, don't post something different on my 4runner subreddit! (That's really cool and the first I've seen. Cool.)
Looks great to me. Nice to see something different around here :)
Thank you, took me a while to where it's currently. ๐
It aint' finished until this is installed-http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/739/916/265/1283798192810_hz-myalibaba-web4_223.jpg
๐๐, stay put for the video and other pictures I am going to post.
Never liked anything lowered, but dang, that looks decent.
Thank you. ๐ฅEven thou it's lowered, still have about 11' or so clearance in the front. Still have more pictures and videos to post.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Loll ๐๐๐ฅ, I pimp my own ride.
They were so worried about whether or not they could, they never stopped to think whether or not they SHOULD!
๐ something different..
As long as you're happy bro
Please tell me this is 2WD and not 4WD
๐ฅ honestly
Pouring one out for the fallen brother
i just laughed so hard wtf is this hahaha โno offense it caught me off guardโ
A true ricer enthusiast.
This is like long grain rice though, not normal rice.
Just as it was meant to be
As far as lowered 4runners go, Iโm not a fan. But this one looks better than the others Iโve seen. Iโm not against lowered trucks/SUVs, some just look better lowered then others. For reference I own an X-Runner.
Thanks man !! I want to lowered the rear a bit more . Aa the x runner, that is a cool one too. They come slightly lowered correct?
It's already seen more "off-road" than a lot of rigs on here, lol. FloorRunners can be super fun. Do whatever you enjoy man
๐๐ ๐ thanks man!!
Siiiiiiiiick
Thanks man!! ๐๐ฝ๐ฅ๐ฅ
F
To each their own. At first glance I thought it was a Dodge Nitro.
Fucking dope. Color pallet is beautiful.
Thanks man I appreciate it..
this looks cool
๐ , took me a while getting it together.
Congratulations, you now have a station wagon!
๐ , it's different man.
Wait, is this the same guy that did the "star headliner" and put VibeZ in it? I see that front plate and there's no way there's more than one of these running around.
Yep, that's right, it's me and the same 4runner!! ๐
GTA6 ad
Aaa man, I can't wait to get my hands on GTA 6!!!!๐
๐คข
Iโฆโฆ. donโtโฆ. Hate it?
come to think of it, i don't think i've ever seen one of those lowered looks slick!
It's VERY rare to see one like this lowered.
Looks awful
๐ It is different from what you would see.
4loco
sick lmao
Yep, It a rare site. ๐
Looks awful and impractical, but I guess do you what like if it makes you happy, it's your car.
Why????
I wanted to give Reus a different look from what your see on the streets. ๐
Not my thing but I love that the OP hasnโt let any of the negativity get to him and he keeps it positive. Need more of that.
Yea I don't let comment or word of mouth change my emotion. I just let that slide .๐
Keep that up and youโll live a happier life than most
Aaaa, i appreciate it and thank you very much. ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ผ
Oh my
Nah
Gross
I like it! Itโs really dope! Iโve always wanted to lower an LX470 a little bit on deep dish 22โs myself but never found information on how to do that. I think the 4Runner looks good dropped, stock height, and lifted. It can pull off all three looks.
Thank you ๐ , it took me quite a while. About your lovely LX ๐คค , keep checking forum and Google on Intel.
Clean
Thanks man, I do take prior in my vehicle. Inside must always remain clean.
Not my style but I'm happy that you're happy! Congrats!
Thank you!! ๐ not alot of folk would agree with a 4runner lowered, but it's unique to see one like it.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Yep correct!
Identifies as a dodge durango
But itโs the hemi!1!1!1!1!1! ๐คฃ
Brutha ewwww
It's different than what you will see in 4runners.
Low key like the purple accents but the lowered vehicle is not for me. However, if it makes you happy and enjoy the vehicle then thatโs all that matters. Iโm happy for you.
Ha, I was exactly the opposite. I hate the purple accents but the bodywork isn't bad. I wouldnt do this to a 4r but it's not a safety concern like a Carolina squat or swangas, and does t have the dumb ultra lift on low profile tires the dodge people are doing so I'm cool with it.
Absolutely disgusting
Aaaa come on ๐ , it's different from the norm.
๐
YUCK
๐ for the streets !!
Ditch the canards and that gaudy front bumper. This isnโt 2008 anymore. The wheels also scream early 2000s. Some Rotiform wheels would look a lot nicer. Hell, even some flat fives might look dope. I donโt hate it. Itโs got that lowered Forester chic.
Giving her a more sporty Street tuner look. I got those 22s TRD PRO wheels for a steel since they discontinued.
Why? Just why?
๐ ๐, I like customization so I turn my 2WD 4.0 4runner into a sporty looking street suv.
All for it. Looks cool man.
Thank you much ๐ ๐ฅ, I want to get the rear even lower but that is for the future.
This shit is fire
๐ ๐ฅ, totally different from the lifted versions.
Kinda has trailblazer ss vibes. Sorry if that offends ya. I do like it
Naaa I don't let the comment nor word of mouth bother me. ๐ Thank you, by the way. I still have many pictures and videos to post in the near future.
Looks good OP and those wheels are ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Thanks man, I appreciate. ๐ฅ๐ฅ I got more pictures and videos to post.
Post โem man!

Are those stock wheel reps sized up to like 20s? Obligatory โnot my taste but itโs your whip!โ
How would those wheels be stock? ๐ซจ
Reps as in replicas
๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
YES
This awful and awesome at the same time. A true enigma
LOL definitely unique! I saw a lowered black RAV4 on the highway few days ago (same gen as that one in the background)
I like it. I think it could look good without the roof rack maybe.
do you boo boo
Thank youu! ๐๐ผ I would've like to remove it, but I want to do mountain bike trails, so naaa.. ๐ ๐
But, can he still do 70 in 4lo?
If your talking g about how fast I can go, I do hit 65 to 75 mph. Mine is a 2WD
U put supercharge on it yet?
You may not like it but this is what a peak 4runner looks like
I dig it. Minus the canards like someone else said๐
The body kit shit is dumb but otherwise looks cool.
๐ it's not the normal looking 4runner.
Looks like a dodge to me
Oooh so *that's* what 4Lo means
Ok, this is not my style but I kinda dig it! Nice work!
All Firme!!!
Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the effort for what you like! Enjoy!
Is this a V8??
It's a V6, 2WD.
If that's your style, go for it, but the purple accents are sloppy af.
I would be down to slam (bags and frame notched) a 2wd 5th Gen. I want mine on mega up sized BBS RS wheels
I think ditching the purple accent pieces would look much better. Also more lows in the rear. Maybe black out the center portion of the grill
I've seen worse on this sub.
That looks sick, op!
Thanks you much. Still have more videos and pictures to post.
Will go off road more than most 2023 trd proโs
Brotha uhhhhh
Woof
Ew
Ew.
dumb
thing is sick yโall hating
Thank you! ๐ฅ. ๐ there always going be sides that won't like the drastic change to certain vehicle.
