NYTOP 4Runner 6th Gen Build Progress w/ Icon 2.5 shocks, +25 offset NYTOP wheels, 35's

[NYTOP]

Hi all,

We are super excited to be able to get our hands on the 4Runner early on, and would like to share with everyone what we have done to it so far!

A quick overview:

Wheels, Tires, Fender Flares:

NYTOP ADV-Classic monoblock forged (custom wrapped) 17x8.5 +25mm offset, about 23.5 lbs per wheel. They are wrapped in Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.5 inch tires. We find this offset fits perfectly with our 1 inch wider NYTOP Carbon Fiber Fender Flares.

Suspension:

We worked with Icon Vehicle Dynamics to help test fit their first set of 2.5 shocks and billet UCA and rear links on our 4Runner. It’s set at 2.5 inch front and half inch rear lift.

Hydraulic bump stops coming next.

Underbody protection and Recovery Gear:

NYTOP billet carbon steel recovery points. In our testings, we find that carbon steel is generally a better material for recovery points for safety reasons.

Full aluminum skids: fits both hybrid and non-hybrid powertrains. It’s a 3 piece modular design, and it allows for an easy removal of the front piece (4 bolts) for less messy oil changes.

On the rear, we have the NYTOP titanium axle back exhaust pipe, which Increases ground clearance and enhances the exhaust tone. We see a 5-7 dB of volume increase throughout the rev range.

NYTOP rock sliders. They are non-tubular. It offers a 15° angles for better clearance on the bottom, while maintaining a complete flat top offering over 6 inches of stepping surface.

Next week we are going to visit Baja Designs HQ to help them test some new lighting kits for the new 4Runner. We are also going to put on our front bumper in the same week. Stay Tuned for that!

Awesome build! So all accessories and parts on the build are NYTOP (besides suspension) and available currently?

I know it's probably controversial but I especially like those wheels with the red accent.

Surprised so much concavity could be achieved with +25mm offset on the wheels. Looks really good. With the Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 shocks suspension setup, what's the lift height range possible?

The front shocks are set pretty low. It looks like it could go from 2-4 inches of lift. We set it at only 2.5 inch lift, there is a lot more it can adjust.

It’s a visual design trick, by decreasing the radius of the concave surface, we were able to achieve a more concave look.

Yes. We have more parts coming soon as well!

That side by side photo shows how much better looking the 4Runner is than the Land Cruiser. Nice build @NYTOP. The carbon fiber fender flares look awesome. How wide are the flares? Same width as TRD Pro / Trailhunter flares or even wider?

Same width as Pro. 1 inch wider than the OEM flares on the lower trims.
