well i hade a nice road trip on the new tires today. they ride awesome!!! i started with a full tank and put just over 120 miles. 80 highway and 40 around town. the fuel gauge is sitting right at a half tank....not bad. i had the cruise set at 70mph and did not have any trouble with the tranny down shifting to get over the overpasses..i am very pleased.

i will let you know what i get out of a full tank. now i just have to figure the true miles and miles per hour with the larger tire...i need a gps. *note to myself for christmas*

just make sure you find a 16x8 wheel with at least a 4" bs. the gap from the UCA is less then a 1/2". i think this will get better when i install the 882's. right now the spacer lift has such a down angle on my UCA's.

i would love to have your third's when you go to the 4.8's....i see a road trip in the near future.

Yeah, you're going to have to do some trimming...... heh..

The rear wheel wells will need a lot... I had to trim mine pretty good.

4Runner202020: i am running stock 4.3's with a 5spd. put as of this weekend i will have 4.88's
You'll have to let us know how much of a difference this makes. I'll be doing the same thing come Jan/Feb some time and swapping on a set of 35's.

new pics....

882's / N91SC's installed. it is going to take a lot for these tires not to rub when flexing.... but for as much wheeling as i do they are fine ( for a pavement pounder ). i have been pleased with the fuel mileage also...250-270 miles per tank when topping off at the pump with 15-16g. so i figure 17-19mpg...not bad. source = garmin gps

so i found a big hill (for florida) to play on...

That is stuffed! That's what my 33s looked like the other day when I got stuck in steep sand hill. I have a 3 inch suspension and body with limited flairs.

4runner looks great man, now get a body lift on there.

My friend has all of the action shots from our recent 4 wheeling adventure but here is a good side shot of the lift with my 33s.

I am sure glad I had that body lift on there because I had those wheels stuffed on the last trip.

This was on Nitto 295's which measure 33.27 X 11.73, you maxxis BigHorns @ 315 measure 34.6 X 12.8 per the Maxxis site. That being said you may be on the right track with a 1.5" BL though Sonoran Steel pulled it off with 1" only.
