New (Used) Tires and a quick photoshoot in Gilbert, AZ

Picked up these 285/75R16 Pro Comp Xterrains off craiglist for $300.00. They were in excellent shape with roughly 90% tread remaining. I washed the rig tonight and ventured over to old town Gilbert and found some cool spots to take some photos. Enjoy.

And in case you missed it, those are genuine Team Karate Panda Dirt Drift Squad tow hooks in JDM green.

No, not really.

Thats actually a good idea with the tow hooks, makes them easy to find when off roading for people that dont know where they are on 4Runners.

Those look Great I am going to get the SS #7 lift as well. Are you getting any rubbing with the tires? How is your a-arm clearance? Any changes in power? mpgs?

Regards,

BWJ

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

No rubbing anywhere so far. We had this back on the RTI ramp and no issues. Tires are noisy and you can feel the friction on the road. Also I've tried to drive more "gingerly" overall as you can feel some strain on the drivetrain. I want to make this rig last a long time - as well as the tires themselves, so no more hard acceleration or spirited cornering
