reminds me of mine. Top of the line base model.

Dont you love the 4.56s? How is it with the 33's?

dont worry pitpatt you will be that way someday. Just do the mods without your parents knowing. Early next year i might have some bilstein hds with ome 881's for sale if your interested. I have them, not installed, and hopefully going with some donahoes or sway a ways.

The 285's are cool but man are they heavy! i actually get better gas milage if i drive fast and keep the rpms up.

Is that a semi-gloss black on your bumpers? The finish looks great on them...

Nice looking set-up

Did you have any caliper rubbing issues with the wheels? I have a set of those wheels on order for a 2000 4Runner and am wondering if I will need to grind the caliper/wheels. Also, do you know the Backspacing on those wheels?

Thanks, Jason

I have 4in back spacing..... and there is no rubing issues. all though when I fitted the wheel before the tires were on they were rubbing, but of course the tire shop proved me wrong and they look and work fine
