I wouldn't take the running boards off unless you are going to put sliders on. The driver's side one was all that kept my truck from having the driver's side body on the side of a hill. I was teetering on that little running board but it held up. Afterwards two of us jumped up and down on it to straighten it out. I definately want sliders but that running board saved me a lot of $$$ in body work.

The Jeep in the background is actually on level ground so you have an idea how far I was tilted.

 

I just realized I ordered one wrong front shock

I can't believe I did that and didn't catch it sooner. I have 2 tokico dealers within 30 miles of me. I am just hoping that one will have the correct shock in stock so that I can do this install this weekend.

 

that sucks!

You should send me you wheels and lift so you don't have to bother with any of it anymore

 

WOW! Those LC's look amazing!! Great job on them, they are going to look sick when they're mounted.


Sorry about being a vulture, but what are you doing with the 5-spokes?

 

^^ ka-kaw ka-kaw (sorry I don't speak vulture? just imagine someone standing on a table flapping thier arms and saying that)

yeah, what are you going to do with them?

jedi mind trick: "I am going to send them to b.miller123"

let's see if it works................

 

Those things aregoing to look mean. I can't wait to see the final product. You going with the 3Inch OME setup?

 

That is definately not gonna happen.

Thanks all for all the props. I am not quite sure what will become of the 5 spokes. I am all up for selling them along with tires for local pickup (Maryland near Annapolis). If this suits you, let me know. Otherwise, I will probably hold onto them for a bit. I will PM you if I put them in the classified or change my mind about shipping.

Right now I am steaming thinking that I will not be able to complete the lift this weekend if I can't locate another front shock.ARRRHHHGG

 

Yup, Toytec all coil OME 3" Lift
OME3-Run on their site

 

Your 4Runner is going to be sick!! Good job with the wheels and I cant wait to see the finished product.

 

Better Pictures to come after alignment.

 

that thing looks bad!
great job on the rims.

 

Nice!! Really clean looking. Great Job!!

 

Outstanding job, man. The lips even appear to match the paint of your truck.

 

Looks good. Now get that thing out of the parking lot and put some scratches on it.

 

Rims look great.

 

Thanks all. I just got my alignment this evening, now to get offroad and get some real pics.

 

That looks great, what is your impression on the MTZs so far?

 

Goin, wheels look great mounted...they really go well with your truck. Nice job.

 

Goin, I retract my previous statement. They look good with that silver lip. Nice work.

 

Thanks Fellas!

I got a great deal on them used with about 6,000 miles on them. They show a little tread wear, but not major. I drove the truck about 100 miles without having an alignment and was regretting the tire choice, but the alignment made a world of difference. Considering the type of tire, they are very smooth and relatively quiet on the road. I took the truck out today with the specific intention of testing their wet traction on the road. It is very close to the half worn Bridgestone duelers I just took off. The only complaint I have with the tires/lift is, I got leaf crap thrown all over the side of my truck. Unfortunately I haven't been able to put them to an offroad test yet. It is hard to find anywhere near where I live that is not paved or someone's lawn.

Some pics from this evening's drive.









When she was stock.
