2026 4Runner TRD Pro Wescott Designs Build

[soulsea]

Hi

I got my truck delivered a few months ago, and at first I was only planning to put a little bigger rubber on it and call it a day. But as usual, and partly because all you here are a terrible/awesome influence, things quickly escalated to a full build. Keep in mind that this is my first ever Toyota of any kind so the learning curve was very steep, and so in addition to all the info on tis forum I reached out to Wescott Designs to guide me. My wife an I were going to spend the Month of May in Sedona AZ anyway so I shipped my truck to them in Phoenix ahead of time and picked it up last week when I landed, so the timing and logistics fell perfectly in place.

The vision for the truck was to strike a balance between high off road capability but also to be able to be used as a daily driver, so I didn't want to go overboard with suspension mods. Driving it both and off road for the last week I think we hit the sweet spot of the compromise, so I'm super happy with it. I also wanted to do something a little different given that the truck is black so I had them paint all the accessories (except rock sliders) gloss black, which helps my ocd. I especially like the Rago bumper because it looks as if it could be OEM to me. Thanks to @papadop88 for that inspiration and also for helping me figure a couple of other things out.

Here's the list of mods (wrap and tires were done before I sent it to WD):

- Full Xpel wrap/Full Xpel ceramic coating/front tint to match rear/windshield PPF
- 285/70/18 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W
- 1” Spidertrax black wheel spacers
- Wescott Designs Lo-Pro Roof Rack (gloss black)
- Baja Designs XL Pro Linkable LED Light Bar (for roof rack)
- Wescott Designs Ditch Light Brackets
- Baja Designs Squadron Pro Black LEDDriving/Combo Light Pods
- Rago Fabrication Center Mount Winch Front Bumper (gloss black)
- Rago Fabrication SkidPlate for Center Mount Front Bumper
- Baja Designs 20" Sport Light Bar (in Rago bumper)
- Warn VR Evo 10-S Winch
- Epic Hawse Fairlead
- Factor 55 UltraHook
- Wescott Design Molle Panels (gloss black)
- Wescott Designs Kickout Sliders
- Wescott Designs Preload Lift Kit

Pics and the associated IG post:

I think I'm done messing with it for now, the only other thing I might do in the near future is get some aftermarket 0 offset 18s to get rid of the spacers.

Hope you guys like it.

There was no rubbing under regular driving conditions. However since I was going to have significant articulation in off road conditions we decided to trim the lower edge of the bumper to make sure I have as much clearance as possible, which is how it turned out. Would not have been needed without the spacers or 0 offset wheels which is the approximate equivalent of 1" spacers.

How much height does the lo-pro rack add vs the factory roof rails? Considering it but the garage door holds its breath every time i pull in

Eyeballing it from memory they're about the same height, but a quick call to Wescott (I dealt with Tyler) will give you a definitive answer.

On my 25 ORP Hybrid with the stock tires and Westcott Lo Profile rack and Kammock awning, my total height is ~74". My garage door opening is 80.5". I got the rack so I could do a 2.5" lift and 275 or 285 tires maybe next year so I now have the clearance.

I am curious how much the vehicle weights with all that

They claim its 1.75 I can tell you that the rack is lower than the top of the shark fin antenna. So if you can get it with the antenna you can with the roof rack. Now adding any lights to that can make it taller depending on the light bar

The Squadron lights add about 1/3” with their covers on.

On a plus note, I’m told that the moonroof will still clear to open, but I haven’t had the courage to try it yet.

 

[EricGoleta]

I did grill lights instead of rack lights to keep the height down and improve air flow. I bought new brackets from my awning to move it down after this trip to the desert. So far the four lights are enough lighting for me for the few times I have turned them on. I don't plan on lots of nighttime trekking.

I can open my moon roof with the lo profile rack. It almost touches the bottom of a crossmember.

Here’s just a regular iPhone pic of the truck without all the fancy photography.
