Do Work Son.... (pictures inside)
Finally cleaned up the 4Runner over the weekend:
-Removed big ugly factory decals
-Debadged rear (I like the smooth butts)
-Re-finished and polished rims (bling-bling)
-Buffed and waxed paint
Here are a few DIY links I used:

Not to highjack the thread but I've asked about these tires several times. How does everyone like them?
And that is one very beautiful 4Runner, nice work. I'm dead scared to remove my decals because I'm afraid of what kind of mess will be left behind.

Thanks for the comments guys!
The tires are 31/10.50/R15 Kumho MT KL71.
I love them. They are a nice balance for street driving and basic off-roading.
I was worried about my paint fade too since its black. I was pleased to see that there wasn't any fading. The only thing noticable was the paint under the decals didn't have any brush scratches
The buffing fixed that though.

those look way bigger, at least wider then 10.5. maybe its the offset of the rims or the deep dish design but they look wider. not saying you don't know what size tire you have, just saying.

I agree. They look like 33x12.50x15 to me. What kind of wheels are those? I may just have to take your lead and do the same thing...they look AWESOME!!!

I actually do not have any specs on the rims. I bought them used. They have a crazy offset though. I am not running any spacers.
Here are a few more pictures:
