Setup with TRD/890 and Xtreme MTs(pics inside)

Ok, finally got a few projects completed, so thought I'd post a few pics since people were asking. Background is:
99 "Highlander" Edition with TRD/890 setup with OME struts/shocks all 4 corners. Just put on some Pro Comp Xtreme MTs 285/75/16s and I am VERY impressed with these tires, especially the on road manners. Haven't gotten them offroad other than some dirt roads yet. Also, added some Stubbs sliders which I highly recommend. I still need to install the steering rack bushing kit I have and add the Sway Bar bushing kit as well.

Nice. The tires make that truck stand out. Your dark green/black lettering is one-of-a-kind and I love it.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I'm very happy with this rig and can't see getting rid of it any time soon.

The tires look good on the 4Runner Aviator. I knew you would like them. How did the tires fit with your stock rims? If there is anything else you need give me call at the store.

Worked out well, but I need a 1/4" spacer too keep from rubbing on the A-arm with it flexed. I have to thank Paul again for a great deal, if you guys need anyting from
4Wheel Parts I'd talk to him, thanks again Paul!

I had the gold package to begin with. Just took the badges off, sanded them some to make the paint adhere a little better and then cleaned them really good. I used the Hammered paint on them and it has held up really well so far.

That's where a Father-in-law with welding skills comes in handy. I'd say around $100 was the going rate I got quoted.

Wow, those 285 MTs really do make the truck stand out.

Nice additions

Dude it's looking real nice! Now it's time for us to go wheeling. If nothing else we need to get together just to check out the rigs.
