Very good looking. Revo's are on my list but a little ways away. Please let us know how your fuel mileage and perceived power changes, if at all.

Well I already noticed a power change. It feels as if I put my ISR back in.

Hey Jamie. I noticed you have a tranny cooler. What does that do. (Yes I know it cools the tranny but why do you need it?)

The tranny cooler is great if you tow or have a supercharger but even if you don't you don't lose out on benefits.
If you can drop the temp in the tranny 40 degrees, you effectively double the tranny's life.
That was all I needed to know to put one on.

I used the Hayden because they actually manufacture for TRD.
Waskilly has a great writeup on the whole thing:

Let us know how the tires work as they break in....likes, dislikes...etc.

Those are SWEEEEEEEET tires. I just got some new shoes, and I went back n forth between those and the Michellin Cross Terrains. I decided on the Michelins because of the large amount of higway driving that I do, and the Cross Terrains are VERY quiet and stable on the highway, and killers in the snow. BUUUUT.......I'll be wish I had those Revos when I go off road. Enjoy em.

Don't let that stop you from getting Revos. They are great on the Highway and actually are quieter than the Michelin LTX M/S that I had on before the Revos. Get the Revos in the "SL" Load range for mostly highway driving and the "C" or "D" for offroad. They will be the best all around tire you can put on your Runner.

Agree agree!!! Just love them, especially offroad!!! The only drawback I perceive so far is the loss of mpg from 23 to 19 Hwy miles. Guess becuz I have 275/70/16. Guess is worth it

THanks a bunch. Right after I put them on I cranked the steering wheel to its stops and it felt smooth. I think I could have even gone to 275/70/16's without rubbing.

So far I love these things. I was running some POS the dealer pur on before I bought it and almost got stuck 2 days ago in ONE inch of mud. Granted it was Texas mud bit still. I now feel like I can conquer the world.

On a side note. Does anybody know if there is a steering adjustment. I had an accident last year and they replaced the steering assembly. With the old tires it felt a little weird but now it feels really strange. If I turn the wheels at any speed they wull stay turned until I correct it. It is as if the steering shaft has been clamped down to tight and its not being able to turn freely.
