I chuckle every time I see your avatar.

I was wondering about the rack too.


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!

Hey, cool to see you joined YT! I hope you are prepared to stay broke all the time. YT has that affect on people...me included.

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.

Thanks.

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.

I'm sure you had a tough night Sat after that loss! I will not call it luck, but rather exceptional playing

Thanks. Can't tell you what rack I'm going with, but when I get it mounted, I'll be sure to post up.

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.

I agree, it made me sick when I found out Auburn won by a field goal! That couple with the frustration of trying to pry a 4.3L out of an Astro Van drove the over the edge. I took my saws-all and started hacking the van to pieces! Made a mess, but felt a little better.

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.

thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comps . It is a CWP (constant work in progress), yet an enjoyable one at that. And yeah, the AU plate stays 'til I can get a winch in there to fill up that hole!

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?

The after pics looks great, but I thought the before looked sweet too, you have good sense on how to mod your 4Runner, I'm sure the rack you choose will look perfect on it.

Thanks...I try to not to throw just anything on this vehicle. I do my best to take my time and plan out each part of it. It is still a ways off from where I want it to be though

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.

Yea, everything looked good until I saw that Auburn sticker. But I loved that game the other night it was awesome. It could be worse you could be a UF fan.

I'm UT fan!

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?

Thanks. I agree, this tire size matches the SS 7.1 to a tee.

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.)

Thanks Steve. It does sit very level. I love the look.

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.
