Locked, Blocked and Ready to Rock (almost)

So i did some today. I decided there is no better way to spend a monday and tuesday than making the runner locked front and rear and slapping on some 35s. Here are pics--- (im still working on the front bumper brackets, i have a TJM, so just use your imagination, ill post pics when both bumpers and fixed up nice and tight)------

BTW: Thats my new 02 DD, i havnt posted pics of her either

Are those the new BFG MT's? I like that tread pattern a lot. You need to report off road impressions and some sidewall pics with them aired down. Looks good.

The only thing that I see on his back rim is an ass load of lead to balance it.

you win the prize of being exactly right, sometimes it takes alot of weight, and guess what, they ride smooth as silk because of it

Nice to see a hardcore wheeler down in the South and not out West somewhere

I doubt you care, but you could always spray paint your wheel weights black to blend in better w/ the rims. I ran 35" Swampers on my previous '86 4Runner w/ the same black rims as yours. Each wheel was covered in weights. I got so tired of the silver on black contrast, that I just painted them black. Looked much better IMO.

My motto has always been, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you look doing it".

Nice 4Runner though.
