Q for owners: Do you have lots of play at top/back of rear doors and vent windows (triangle pieces)?

This 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport Premium came into 8Runner Off-Road for a suspension and wheel upgrade that would give it more clearance, a tougher stance, and the right fitment for larger tires. The end result is a build that looks sharp and performs with confidence. We started with a Westcott Designs preload collar lift, raising the 4Runner about 2–3 inches. This not only leveled the stance but also opened up room for 33–34 inch tires and improved ground clearance. A coilover assembly and alignment were completed to dial in the geometry and handling. Why the Westcott Lift? Levels the stance while maintaining factory ride quality Provides clearance for 33–34 inch tires Increases ground clearance for off-road use Next up was the wheel and tire package. We mounted 285/75R17 Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs (measuring about 33.8 inches) on KMC Torx wheels in matte black. The +25 offset keeps the fitment tight, avoiding unnecessary trimming while still delivering a bold look. Extended black lug nuts finished the setup with a secure, clean fit. Why this combo works: Toyo A/T IIIs: excellent balance of traction and durability KMC Torx: aggressive blacked-out styling to match TRD accents +25 offset: perfect fitment with the lift, no excess poke Future upgrades are already on the way, with a set of Westcott sliders ordered to add protection and function. With the lift, wheels, and tires now complete, this TRD Sport Premium stands taller, clears bigger rubber, and is dialed for more than just pavement. Would you start your 4Runner build with suspension and wheels, or focus first on armor and lighting? 8Runner Off-Road & Overland Outfitters 10160 Southwest Nimbus Avenue, Suite F2 Tigard, OR 97223 Phone: (503) 352-4629 Email: nathan@8runneroffroad.com Website: www.8runneroffroad.com

Hi All! Wanted to run this by you to see if any of you have the same issue. The vent windows on both rear doors seem to have a lot of play along with the top outer portion of the door itself. Attached a few photos below to show what I’m referring to. Does yours have the same type of issue?
