Papadop88's Underground 2025 4Runner TRD Pro 6th Gen Build

How are you taking your measurements? Those numbers don't add up from fender to center hub.

Sorry, I have that info in the description of my YT video but forgot to put it in the thread. I’ll add that.

I usually do bottom of fender to center hub, but for this application I do bottom of rim to bottom of fender. I do that because the sidewall of the tire pokes out so much I can’t get a steady reading using gee center hub as it distorts the measuring tape. By clipping it to the bottom of the wheel, I can get a better reading.

It’s the same effect except that the measurements this way will be 9” higher than doing it from the center hub. So if you’ve been measuring from the center hub, then subtract 9” from my measurements. (18” wheel divided by 2)

awesome! That’s what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. I am kinda in the same boat as you with my Pro. I took a slightly different route though. I have Dobinsons rear springs which net just over .5in higher than your setup in the rear and I have a 1in Peak Suspension top spacer on the front which nets about 1in less than yours. This result is about a 2in front rake. I’ve been waiting for Eibach to release their TRD Pro springs but the WD collar only seems like it would set me up perfectly.

Cornfed Suspension also makes a 1/4 thick top spacer that results in 1/2in of lift which would correct the driver side front lean. I’m planning on doing that as well.

Gotcha. Ya since you already have the Peak puck up front see if they will sell you their preload collars specific for the Pro only (they have less preload). That should give you 1.2” of lift in the front and give you that perfect rake. But not sure how that changes with your Peak spacer up top…

Dobinsons springs are so damn tall.

If needed or wanted, I have my top hats I didn’t install for sale so just let me know. Swap the Peak pick out for the top hats and add a preload collar…but I also believe Peak makes a collar, just not sure of the lift it gives you.

Peak isn’t going to make a collar for the Pro. I will take the top spacer off if I get the WD preload collar. Then I would have the same specs in the front as yours and 33in in the rear with the Dobinsons which would be perfect.

The Dobinsons spring lift numbers are based on the lower trims. On my pro, I’m only just under .5in higher than you

Here are the videos showing the install of the VViViD Air Tint film I used to wrap my Rigid fog lights to selective yellow, and the follow up video showing the beam at night. I love selective yellow as I've always run that lens on my Baja Designs lights.

Wrap job took about 20-25 mins. Pretty easy install using this film.

My OCD though is creepin into my thoughts about the mismatch of the amber DRLs and Raptor lights and the selective yellow fog lights now...may pull them the off...may not. We'll see.

Thanks for the videos. I love your content. Does the VViViD Air Tint film come in an amber color?

Very welcome. VViViD does not, but Lamin-X does and I'm sure a couple other Chinese brands on Amazon might.

If you want Amber, use Lamin-X as they are legit and amazing quality. I'm just not a fan of amber fog lights otherwise I would have gone with amber.

Thank you. I actually decided to order the amber from Lamin-X. Pretty inexpensive and easy to undo if I don't like it. I kind of like the idea of the fog lights matching the DRL's. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

...and here's the video explaining everything and why I did what I did by not installing the top hats. Math is math.

Thanks for posting the review of the WD lift and the details. Do you have any side shots of the truck demonstrating how the front vs rear sits? Agree that reverse rake is no bueno.

 

[papadop88]

Sure thing. Here's a side shot of how she sits currently.

As you can see, it's almost exactly level, with an approximate .5" front rake, which is absolutely perfect. At least for my truck. That's why I'm saying...adding the 1" top hat which gives you an additional .5-.7" lift in the front would give me an absolute reverse rake.

Can nyone out there give me their best estimate on the lead tim for the Westscott Design kit like John has installed after placing an order? They don't list just the bottom pre-colllar lift and rear pucks on their site as a kit and I have not heard back if they will just send me what I need.

DM'd you.

So, this post is for the benefit of the TRD Pro owners out there, but you'll have to believe my words as the pictures don't really show what it truly looks like. I haven't spent any time thinking about my fog lights until @papadop88 did a video of him putting a yellow tint on his fog lights. I watched the video (thanks @papadop88 for your content), but didn't really like how the yellow was different from the amber DRL's. But, it got me thinking that I thought it would be a good look if the fog lights were amber and matched the amber DRL's. Papadop88 let me know that Lamin-X does have amber fog light covers for the 4Runner. They were inexpensive (like $15), so I ordered them.

I put them on yesterday. Here's my thoughts. I do like them and I'm going to keep them on for now. They are amber, but they are not a perfect match. The fog lights, with the amber tint, are a lighter shade of amber than the DRL's. The DRL's are darker. I still like them and are going to keep them on, but they are two different shades of amber.

Here's where you are just going to have to trust me. I took a few pictures to post and in the pictures the fog lights look a lot more yellow than what they really are in real life. In real life they DO look amber, but are a lighter shade of amber than the DRL's. In the pictures they look more yellow than they are in real life. My phone camera did not do a good job capturing what they really look like, but I thought I'd make this post anyways in case anyone is interested. It's a cheap mod that you can easily take off if you don't like it and it's inexpensive.
