This page needs some pics.

Hung out with a few friends, one has a 93' (i think) 4Runner with a 2" body lift and the other has a 2001 Ford F350. The Ford couldn't make it where the Yotas could. I was on 30x9.5's my friend in the white 4Runner is on 33x10.5's and the Ford is on 35x12.5's lol

Brain, ....just saw YET ANOTHER Yellow Runner hahaha. It had a brown top and brown inset on semi polished rims(alcoa style?)....looked REALLY good!(was like a milk chocolate color...not DEEP dark brown)

I, too, really like the white. I guess being that I camp in 120* weather at times....it just seems more logical! hahaha. But yeah, black would look good too. Have you done a paint shop w/different colors?(seem to remember so.....just can't recall exactly). Black, I would think, would be best if not SUPER BLACK, lol... not sure that made sense, but maybe like a Primer Black color with gloss finish is what I mean. Charcoal Color? Anyway, I'm sure it'll look good, either way.

Seems to be quite a few yellow 4Runners out your way. I saw a nice red one today, i was quite surprised as you don't see many first gen 4Runners out here that aren't destroyed by road salt.

As far as the top goes, i did a few quick photoshops and the color that really stood out the best to me was a flat black. It looked way better than a glossy black would and i think it looks better than white.

Hmmmm, sounds like you might have some other issues, B! lol. Unless, of course, you drive an LS1 Vette by day, then jump in this one at night and feel STARVED of go go? hahaha.

Mine, with 31's, get's up and goes just fine. Even does around 90mph, fairly easily.....Oh yeah, it does so WHEN I'M NOT TAKING IT APART DUE TO SOME FLUKE/FREAK THING, every other week!!!!! hahaha.

B-yota,

I have to agree with Mark (ChefYota). My 4.10's did pretty well pushing my 33x12.5's and even on hills they aren't so bad. But i don't run them for daily driving (want to keep the wear on them to a minimum so i can use them for wheeling only). For daily driving i have a set of 30x9.5 BFGoodrich M/T's
