I know, I know...I've got to get down to your shop soon! Working on saving up for the brake upgrade, so hopefully I'll be heading your way then
Yeah, tell me about the modding part...guys that see my truck think I've done a lot to it already. I keep telling them mine is just the tip of the iceberg compared to so many others out there!
Hope you like the rack, I know I did. You are going to laugh when you see how I boxed it up...that was the largest box I could find . Oh and the mounting brackets are already assembled, so you should just be able to mount them on the roof rails, tighten them down and be set to mount the rack. And again, PM me if you have any questions or need more pictures of it mounted.

Yeah, that AU game was so, so sweet. I am still on a high from that win! Nothing against Tebow, but as an AU fan, it was so great to see our team shut him down . I can't say enough for our 3 true freshman starting on the offensive line as well. Entire team did a great job. Okay I will shut up...I could go on and on about that game.
Thanks Ric! Your 4Runner was one of one's that inspired me to got this route.
Haha...and I'm sure you had a tough night too after that loss against FL St and then seeing us win

And I'll be sure to take pictures next time I go out wheeling...even though I do not know when that will be. These wheels just look so good clean
Thanks, and yeah, I am sure they will be. I noticed that when I sat down to clean the wheels the day I got back home from having them mounted. No bid deal though, I will just have to take my time now when cleaning them.

You can bet that UF will be even tougher to beat now that they've had their wake up call!
BTW: The tires and wheels look great, I like those wheels a lot better than the originals. Let me know how those tires perform off-road, though. I'm trying to pay attention to what others are running for my next purchase.

that is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen! i'm a fan of the rack as well, can't wait to see what's next. every single thing on your truck is perfect and reading your mods it sounds like the guts match the greatness of the exterior. love that TJM, and what makes it even better is the Auburn plate! i rarely chime in to agree with 20 other people on how great some one's truck looks but your pics have made me weak in the knees, something to aspire to for sure!
thanks for sharing.

oh yea i forgot to comment on your rims and tires, nice setup.
and yes it was rough, i turned off the Bama game over to AU/UF right when Burns ran that touchdown in, i got amused though out of Wes Byrum doing the gator chomp after the field goal.
btw, are you goin to the Vandy game this Saturday?

Thanks for the comps.
That was a good game. Nope, can't make it this weekend to the game, got a wedding I have to attend. You going? Should be a decent one.

now i just have to get out of debt from the gears and locker so i can go back in for new wheels and tires!

Thanks Kyle. Hurry up and join the club.
I agree, the words 'debt' and 'toyota' go hand in hand.

Nice, verrrry nice. I am still very happy w/ my 265/75s. Yours look great as well. You keep changin it up man, if my wife ever decides to give me crap about the changes I make to our 4Runner I am going to make her read your threads.

Looks good. 265/75 is a good choice for the ss 7.1 lift. Your speedometer will still be accurate, and you won't have an issue with rubbing. Just out of curiousity, will the backspacing of the trd wheels let you use 285's?

yep, i go for bama but i've been to every auburn home game this year... even picked up an Auburn University shirt from Tiger Rags at the New Mexico St. game to show some support. I doubt though I will have any Orange and Blue on though come Saturday, November 24th

. Yeah, my wife gives me grief about it all time. I always get the look from her. Oh well.
I would like to get a GPS to confirm that. With 4.10 gearing and 32" tires, I have heard the speedo is off by about 2mph. While that is still very minimal, it can mean the difference between not getting a speeding ticket and getting one.
And Yes the BS on these TRD wheels will allow me to run 285s . (This was just one more reason I wanted these wheels. I do not plan to run 285s just yet, but when I do, I wanted to be able to do so with very little complications.)

I want a winch w/ synth line so bad I can't stand it. For some reason, other mods just keep taking precedence . (Still a few more to go before I get a winch though.)
And even thought I bleed orange and blue, the tag will come off once a winch goes in.
