love dark color wheels. did mine in like a gun metal color.
i would buy the one from toyota dealer. its where i got mine and it was $100+. its funny cuz i told my parts guy, order me one. when it came in, i went to pay and she told me something like $100+ i was like wtf. didnt know they were that much. i say go with oem. i changed my original one out at 226xxx miles lol well worth it imo and you will only buy once and know for sure it will work

Aw dude that's the worst.. I have my o2 sensor on the way. Hopefully that ends my engine woes for a bit.

Looks GREAT, Blake! I like it both ways, and yeah, I understand you on the 'flaking wheel' syndrome'! lol.

Best wishes that the 02 swap does the trick!

woo o2 sensor came in!
boo! misfire is quite obvious. gonna break out the o-scope to see if any of my ignition system crapped. even though it is all new and factory.

It's about time to inspect fuel system..
figuring I'll be starting with grounds... looking for corrosion.

Yep, that's the sucker! lol.

Sorry bout the misfire.... SURE it's not something that just might have been faulty from the get go in the 'NEW' ignition?

Hope you track it down quick, bud!

didnt you post a video of your new exhaust system? i talked to an MDT bout how your exhaust sounded when i was tuning my quad. anyways somethings came up and he didnt hear the clip but did say something bout the pop. i think i remember hearing some pops coming from you exhaust.

this is what he said "on a 4runner depending on serverity is most comonly a tight valve , usually when i diag. tight valves on any car i will hold a paper or cardboard up to the exhoust and if it pulls the paper in at all all it will amplify the pop cuz of the paper , and that tells me the valve is hanging open to long or is burnt . there shoukd be no vac."
