The 2018 Toyota 4Runner is well-equipped to take on any destination, be it a crowded school drop-off zone, local construction job site, or secluded trail somewhere. It delivers everyday comfort, versatility, and proven Toyota reliability in a rugged full-size SUV that remains highly popular three decades after its initial launch. This SUV features projector-beam headlights and LED rear combination lamps to deliver the visibility you want and need. The 4Runner’s strength stems from its tough-as-nails, body-on-frame design with a 4-link rear axle and coil-spring suspension. But you never have to sacrifice a tough chassis with comfort, because the Toyota 4Runner delivers the best of both worlds. And while the do-it-all SUV looks great when covered in mud, it certainly cleans up nice too.

Vivid Racing got its hands on this 2018 Toyota 4Runner SR5 looking to receive some upgrades in the form of AlphaRex headlights and taillights as well as some tough Bilstein suspension. When it comes to lighting, nothing comes quite close to the crisp and clear visibility offered by AlphaRex’s LED lights. We treated this SUV to AlphaRex LUXX-Series Projector Headlights in midnight black. These Toyota 4Runner headlights come with a switchback DRL, sequential signal light, and the signature activation light feature, which is a sequential light show when you unlock your vehicle.

The polycarbonate lens is extremely durable and has been coated to prevent oxidation and fogging for better light output in poor weather conditions. These headlights are certified to ISO standards and compliant with SAE and DOT regulations. To round out the look, this 4Runner also received AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black LED Taillights, which delivers an aggressive look with full functionality in a highly durable package built to last throughout all your adventures.

Now that this 2018 4Runner SR5 received an improvement in aesthetics and lighting, it was time to give it an upgraded suspension. The owner opted for the Bilstein B8 5100 front and rear shocks, which gave it a nice 2-inch lift. Bilstein’s B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) shock absorbers are designed for SUVs and trucks with a front OE coilover style suspension. The monotube design provides consistent fade-free performance for optimal ride quality. Multiple snap-ring grooves in the body allow for different spring seat positions, delivering 0-2.75 inches of front lift with OE springs (depending on the application). The monotube shock absorbers feature a 46mm digressive piston with a self-adjusting deflective disc valve setting. These front and rear shock absorbers also provide increased wheel travel and improved handling for a difference you can see and feel. Installing Bilstein’s B8 5100 series shocks is the simplest way to level out your vehicle for the enhanced look and handling you want.
