My soon-to-be-wife had her camera on hand this weekend at a motocross track so I was able to snap a few quick pics of my 06 T4R before unloading. Yes, I know she is dirty (the truck pervs..) but I usually put in 100-200 miles per day during the week and washing gets old. However, from the distance in most of the pics she does look amazingly clean... works for me!

The truck currently serves as my daily work vehicle and spends almost every weekend at various MX tracks and riding spots, along with bi-monthly trips to the Carolina coast and local scuba diving holes. After 45k miles the T4R has been a great vehicle so far!

Current Setup:
2006 4Runner Limited V8 4x4
Nautical Blue Metallic/ Stone
Navigation/ XM, RSCA, 3rd Row Seats
Old Man Emu (Front- OME885/ N140S & Rear- OME895/ N141), Spidertrax 1.25" spacers, 275/65R18 Cooper Discoverer STT (with full-size spare!), OBX pedals, Valor exhaust tip, Weathertech floor/cargo liners, 40% front tint, and one cheap azz flimsy oem brush guard that will stop even the most aggresive spider webs.

XenonDepot HID setup is on hand, but I have been too lazy to install. Next up is a nice set of sliders/ skid plates and some sort of mild but at least a little aggressive exhaust.

I love this pic for some reason:


#127 is my Honda CRF450R




Why yes, that is a home-made trailer built by yours truly..




Yes, I know those trailer fenders are fugly and not complete...




It was a very tight fit but I was able to fit the 275 spare up there. As you can see in the third pic, it is pretty close to the rear sway bar but I haven't had any issue over the last 3 months. Keeping a full-size spare was important to me, so it was very cool when I found out it would work!



Now you can really see how clean she is!




I did have to do a little trimming on both the right and left sides which included just the very bottom corner of both fenders as well. In case you are interested, my caster is set around the mid-way point on the cams for both sides. I coated all the wheel wells with that rubberized underbody coating, one can per wheel. It actually helped reduce a lot of the additional tire noise from the STTs.

 

What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

 

My mileage has dropped around 1-2mpg on average after taking into consideration the change in tire circumference and it's effect on the odo. Hope that helps!

 

Wanna trade rides?

 

Can she cook, clean, and not talk all the time?

 

i was just wonderin how you like the stt's

 

hahaha

 

So far I am still very pleased with them. Cranked out over 200 miles today, mostly highway of course, and they are now pretty much invisible. There was certainly more road noise at first, but now I do not notice anything at all. It is probably a combination of the rubberized coating in the wheel wells and several thousands miles of getting used to them. Still listen to my radio at the same volumes, 7-12, and can carry on a conversation using the built-in bluetooth at 75mph without any problem.

Wet weather traction has also been a non-issue. There are two fairly slick on/off ramps that I use daily near my place. In the rain I will often push it faster and faster until it breaks loose and the tires are very predictable and do nothing scary. No issues yet with hydroplaning, even in heavy rain, but that one is still up on the air until I can hit a few large puddles to check it out. Ice and snow is still up in the air as well.

Did a little off-roading two weekends ago taking laps around an old motocross track that had grown over. No more rubbing was felt even with many hard hits and running all four tires through their full range of travel.

Hope that helps!
