New FJ Cruiser wheels/tires on my truck!
I got a great deal online for a set of Firestone Destination M/T tires (265/70-17) & bought 4 FJ Cruiser 17" wheels on eBay for my winter setup...

Went from these:

I'm really liking the on-road behavior of these Firestone Destination M/Ts.

I am really starting to like the look of those FJ Cruiser rims, looks really good on your truck.
I have a set of 33s Destinations M/Ts on my 4Runner and love them.

looks good man. kinda wanting to "try on" my wife's wheels and tires on her 4runner onto my truck. have been searching for a cheap set of black FJ steelies for a while, but I'm more likely gonna meet big-foot face to face than a good deal on those that won't kill the deal with shipping.

we bought TREADWRIGHT's in the winter and upgraded her size tires and really like the look and kinda really want to ditch the 31x10.5's and go with what she has. here's what I'm talking about------->>>> https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f105...runner-229005/

Both wheels look equally great! (Toyota makes some nice wheel patterns) But the FJ wheels step out because of the m/t tires. I need to get me a set of stock alloys, im really liking the wheels from the newer tacos.

Nice! I just found a set of these by me on Craigslist for $475 w/tires. The tires look to be highway tread, but the wheels are sick. I'm thinking of picking them up for my 94 runner

Yeah, well......I quit caring about how it looks a long time ago~ ....as long as it's reliable running gear, I'm good.

I wash it once a year, whether it needs it or not~

I just noticed the shot of me in the bumper on this pic....lol:
