Live from SEMA 2025: @GEARWRENCHTools Exhibit Highlights – Friday, November 7 Edition!

What happens here

Murry highlights the PEAK Suspension system, chosen because it's entirely aluminum, making it resistant to rust in harsh winter conditions where roads are salted. The suspension provides a 2.5-inch lift and includes upgraded upper control arms. He clarifies that while the 4Runner has KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) for articulation at lower speeds, it can limit extreme lifting, so they opted for a moderate lift. The wheels are Lockt wheels, which were initially machined but were custom powder-coated black due to personal preference. The tires are Toyo Tires Open Country R/T Pro, a hybrid mud tire that balances off-road capability with quiet highway performance, notably balancing perfectly with minimal weights, a testament to their quality.

Goal: Describe the vehicle's upgraded suspension, custom wheels, and performance tires
