some not-so-great pics of my Runner

Been a member for a while, barely post, but thought Id share some cruddy cell pics of my Runner as it sits right now.

3in body lift
3in coil spacer
diff drop
flowmaster 40 series exhaust
rhinolined trim
35x14.5R15 Swampers
removed rear sway bar as it does nothing.

still soo much to do, but thats half the fun

Distinctive sir! Very unique. Serious meats on those rims.

Are those Bushwacker fender flares that you rhino lined?

i almost left my hood black like that, i think it looks AWESOME! yeah, that really does stand out, i think it looks nice. and those tires are mad-huge! i usually don't like red on anything, but i love the red/black theme you've got on yours, very nice.

Its a steam roller!

Why did you do such wide tires? I wonder how the 2nd gen coil sprung/ rack and pinion IFS will handle those tires.

thank you guys!

the lights are mounted on little clamp type things that are mounted on the hood.

I went wide since I got the rims/tires free from my buddy, and the 265's were looking way to undersized for the amount of lift I had.. I think Ill go 35x12.5 when I get new tires in a few weeks.

the tires on that thing would probably kill your rear fender because there is no way they would stuf cause they stick out to far. i have 35 12.5 and with 4in sus. lift and 2in body lift and it's so close to hittin the outer/top part of the fender when i flex...

Like the truck but more reasonable tires would look better since it looks like the tires of those old Stomper 4x4 trucks of the '80s.
