2024 4Runner TRD ORP Upgrades

This is the story of me upgrading my 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Offroad Premium.

What to do first?  Suspension

Since I am using my 4Runner primarily for daily driver and offroad anytime I can I went with a suspension kit that I believe will cover me in whatever I tackle.

      I’m now leaning for more protection which looks like the cost of the bumper with addons is around $2800 without install

      I like this rear bumper option.. at least today I do. It can carry two jerry cans, spare tire, hi-lift jack and ham antenna as well as it has a fold down table and rear lights.

    Checked with Ken (Expedition Vehicle Outfitters) and they have everything but the black Dobinson springs (backordered). As soon as they arrive he said the would contact me to schedule dropping off the 4Runner.

      Very very happy with the Dobinson Suspension Upgrade and it looks great. Completed on June 18th 2025 and in time for my trip from Michigan down to Clovis NM to see my son stationed down there. It drove great and yea I lost a little on fuel economy but when it looks this good I’m fine with it.

        So what’s Next?

        Need a winch and roof rack so carefully approaching how I want to do this with what products. A huge fan of companies that give any kind of military discount and both C4 Fabrication and Cali Raised both offer a discount for military.

        PARTS LIST

        ELECTRICAL

        • AUXBeam AR-800 (8 Gang) and Power Tray $358.85 – purchased 2025.10.29
        • Left Mount from 4Runner Lifestyle on left $110.76 – purchased 2025.10.29

        Really like the Middle Mount to utilize those cubbys that don’t really get used

        FRONT BUMPER

        C4 Fabrication LO PRO w/Full Height Bullbar Powercoated (SKU: 1100-1114-30-FH-01NA) & 30” combo beam lightbar (PN# 70-3013) ($885) Front Bumper with Warn VR EVO 12-S winch (PN# WAR103255) ($1070) Factor 55 Fairlead (PN# 00016) ($110) Winch Shackle Factor 55 flatlink black (PN# 00050-04) ($160) —total from c4fabrication TOTAL without install $3500. (C4 offers military discount)

        ROOF RACK & LIGHTBAR

        CALI RAISED LED PREMIUM ROOF RACK (part# CR2836) with 43”Lightbar (part# CR4292) with 360 Lighting kit (part# CR3818) plus wiring harness (part# aaa9290) TOTAL without install $1998. (Cali Raised offers military discount)

        KC Universal Wire Hider $25 – https://www.kchilites.com/universal-wire-hider-kc-6300.html

        PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER

        So I could possibly install all of this myself but the difference is I need this to be a solid install so when I’m in the middle of a tough adventure I don’t get stranded due to a loose wire or something not working like it should especially the winch. I decided to go with Yota Xpedition since they have a pretty great following and they are the closest to Michigan that I like for the install that specializes in Toyotas

        Yota Xpedition — 8007 Quarry Rd, Alburtis, PA 18011 (9hr drive)

        They only install what they carry and they are not fans of Warn Winches and I don’t see any winch as reliable. Never had any issues with my warn 12k winch on my K5 blazer

        DECISION: no. Willing to drive to a toyota focused facility. I do not want to drill holes to do this install and want high quality.

        sent email asking for a quote evening of 2025.10.31 (anders)

        Kens Kar Kare

        called on 10.31 and the lady who answers the phone is super rude. I like the work done but that lady needs a vacation

        Called on 11/14/2025 for a status on parts coming in and Kathy let me know that they are still waiting for CaliRaised Stuff and the C4 Fab front bumper. C4 says they build when order is placed. When I called C4 they stated the process takes about 5-6weeks so that puts us middle of December for C4 Fab products. Not sure how CaliRaised is running yet.
