New lift, new tires, time to play (pics)

After finally getting my new tires last week, deciding to test out my new lift and tires this past weekend was a no brainer. Was hoping for a lot more mud, but found a lot of dirt and snow instead - here are the pics:

















The bottom half of this hill was pretty icey, took a few tries before finally getting to the top. Each failed attempt meant having to slide all the way back down again:




I thought I would test out the flex here and must say I am VERY impressed! I was still about an inch away from the rear axle hitting the bump stop, but the piece of plastic on the rear mud flap was preventing the wheel from going up any further, and the front hit the pinch weld (which hasn't been pounded flat yet). Still needs a bit more trimming and pounding to get this baby to flex all the way:












Wife came along in case I got stuck :






This trail was pretty easy, the only tough parts were the snow covered hill climbs, but overall, I am very happy with my setup and can't wait to hit the harder trails. Didn't need the wife to pull me out, but glad she came anyway

Thats a beuty 4runner, Glad to hear it performed well. I like moding my runner than taking it out to test it, then when it works its awsome feeling and if it doesnt then you can yell and scream and go back to the drawing board.

They are the shocks that came with the old Sonoran Steel 1.1 system, I think they are Tundra fronts and Land Cruiser rears.
