I've got the Firestone Destinations too, they rock. You've got 12.5" s on a 7" rim??? What's going to happen when you deflate for wheeling? I've got 31" x 10.5" on a 6" rim and think I may go get 8" just so I dont blow the bead when I deflate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

There are a few poeple running 33ish-inch tires on 7" rims. General consensus is there are no problems as long as you don't go super soft. My previous tires were 32s on the same 7" rims. I aired down to 12-15PSI when wheeling and never had any problems. I'm thinking 15-20PSI should be fine with the 33s... just gotta be careful and see how things go.

4.5 lift (2.5" OME, 1"cornfed front spacer, and 2" RB bl) Stubbs sliders
How does that work? I add that up and I get at least 4.5" of lift, if not more?
How much lift are you actually getting out of that 1" CF spacer? What OMEs do you have up front? How is your CV angle with 305s? I've got the exact same lift as you seemingly w/o the 1" cornfed, but I bet I got 882s and you don't. Just looking at options to go to 315s on down the road. Thanks! Nice pics guys!

I agree with Sabre, that looks very BEEFY. Nice job, I am glad your site is back up again. I refer to it often. I am still in the 32" tire club. I really like what you have done to your 4Runner.

The other issue I see is that if you do a body lift of 1" it will fix your sliders that bang on the pinch weld, seems like I remember that being an issue, but if you go 2" body lift it migth look a bit awkward. I'd still vote for the 2" body lift and see how the sliders look and reweld them if necessary cause the more clearance you got for those tires the better, especially since you are running a 305.
IMO stepping up from a 32 makes a big difference in the stance and looks of your rig, big difference!

Yea... I'm leaning towars the 1" BL right now, basically for aesthetic reasons. I don't want a huge gap between the body and my sliders or my TJM. The 1" BL should be enough to eliminate all rubbing up front, but I'll still rub in the back at least a little, but only when stuffed. I figure I can trim/bang/grind things enough to get me past that if necessary.

On a side note... it looks like I might be in Tucson for Thanksgiving. If you are planning on doing any holiday wheeling and I can get away from the family, I'd love to ride along with you... see what things are like out there... if ya don't mind.

4Runner4Me's rig is pristine. And it'll stay that way. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to convince him to wheel with us, and as such, nothing's gonna rub his wheel wells!

Guys, wide tires on narrow wheels makes it harder to lose a bead. I ran 12.50's on 7" wheels at single digit pressures a lot. When the wheel is narrower the bead has more pressure on it. Wide wheels suck
Jackson...looks great man!

Really? So I shouldn't be concerned about replacing my 6" tires that have 31 x 10.5"?

Jackson,
The tires look sweet. I have a friend who has a set of 305 70 R16 tires that have been up for grabs for quite some time. He's selling cheap so I may have to get them after seeing your rig. I just need another set of rims. I can't understand how you aren't getting tons of rubbing with the backspacing of the stock wheels.
