took them in the dirt for the first time...went over this really steep hill at about 5 mph consistently with no spin or anything, perfect traction...too bad that's the only kind of test i have the time for right now

I think the truck is off the ground in that pic...maybe 1 or 2 inches though so its pretty close still

I agree. Looking good RooRRunner. Rated your thread a 5 out of 5 in the "check out my truck" section of the community forums.

mines the same height if not a little taller then a 4x2 excursion and just an inch shorter then a 4x4 excursion.

your 4runner doesn't count because its a beast

haha just kidding

i just thought i would add this instead of bringing up my old thread. i just used the 4 parts vinegar and 1 part water with 0000 steel wool for my windows...holy goo! my windows are back to sparkling new, it's all in the technique! i tried it yesterday: dipped the wool in the mix and scrubbed then washed off and wasn't too pleased. today i washed the car from head to toe, then spent quality time with each window starting around the perimeter then diagonal strokes with a little elbow grease. turned out so great i did the sunroof window and windshield. i'll wait until i have a hi res camera to post some results as my camera phone won't be able to pick up the awesomeness....well see if you can tell and then i'll get a real nice up-close later



looking at it on this picture doesn't do it justice, just you wait until i get the nice ones

got some pictures with a good camera this time...sorry still driveway shots

Painted half of the front emblem black, the other half was sanded with low grit sandpaper to achieve a more stainless steel look rather than the chrome, same thing I did to the fender trim a while back. Also did the 'Toyota', '4Runner', and 'SR5' emblems on the back

















I, Weston Miller, solemnly swear not to post any more repetitive pictures until I have found an off-road setting where I can get my shoes dirty. hahahahaha

well wait!....after this one

I hear 285/75/16 is the closest you can get to 32x10.5?
If I still want highway speed or speed in general would 4.30 gears be more suitable for this tire size or 4.56?
Looking to LSD my 2wd as well. Daily driven 22re.
