Finally cleaned up the 4Runner over the weekend:

-Removed big ugly factory decals
-Debadged rear (I like the smooth butts)
-Re-finished and polished rims (bling-bling)
-Buffed and waxed paint

good work man looks nice way to rock the kumhos... nice choice

 

very nice. I'm afraid to remove my decals because of paint fade...

 

Pretty sharp!

 

unlike you!



hahaha, just kidding

 

nice runner!

 

Not to highjack the thread but I've asked about these tires several times. How does everyone like them?








And that is one very beautiful 4Runner, nice work. I'm dead scared to remove my decals because I'm afraid of what kind of mess will be left behind.

 

NCIE! I likes. Verra clean. Looks prety. Lkie the debag. What kind tires them ther be?

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

The tires are 31/10.50/R15 Kumho MT KL71.
I love them. They are a nice balance for street driving and basic off-roading.

I was worried about my paint fade too since its black. I was pleased to see that there wasn't any fading. The only thing noticable was the paint under the decals didn't have any brush scratches The buffing fixed that though.

 

those look way bigger, at least wider then 10.5. maybe its the offset of the rims or the deep dish design but they look wider. not saying you don't know what size tire you have, just saying.

 

I agree. They look like 33x12.50x15 to me. What kind of wheels are those? I may just have to take your lead and do the same thing...they look AWESOME!!!

 

Nice looking runner!

 

I actually do not have any specs on the rims. I bought them used. They have a crazy offset though. I am not running any spacers.

Here are a few more pictures:

 

Damn, that's one hell of a clean 4Runner!

 

Sweet looking ride!

 

i cant take off my decal because it was painted over by the PO. it kinda sucks cause you can see it but its the same color as the truck. it just looks cheesy

 

well, i guess i need ta start savin for them kumho tires, cause those are badazz looking. need ta get me some rimes too.

 

hmm, maybe i should come visit you. i have some trail pinstriping that im pretty sure wont buff out! not to mention, someone clear coated over the original paint without prepping! nothing the pressure washer didnt start to correct!

sharp looking rig!
