Love your truck man

[gaterose]

Got my hard copy today, still excited about having the opportunity to share my build in a magazine.

Great build, more inspiration for me!

[gaterose]

Thanks a lot! Been kinda slow lately, but I like where it is right now and don't have reason to change a lot.

So now you can donate to the Stuck CAPS 4WD foundation?

Sorry but I'm still donating to the gaterose 4wd foundation.

Thats just unfortunate..

Sorry but I don't. I don't believe we took any pictures during the process. @A_HuL

Can't remember what trim yours is but Adam's '05 SR5 cluster was completely different with far fewer bulbs than my '03 Limited cluster.

Been sick of the 18s and E rated BFGs for a while and I found a buyer, so I went back to OEM wheels (painted graphite), Spidertrax, and some new P255/75R17 Duratracs

[birdmann]

That looks way better. sr5 wheels in graphite look pretty sick. Nice center caps too!

[wnelax04sr5]

looks awesome! what'd you do with the old set?

Oh man these pictures are killing me. They look AWESOME.

[gaterose]

Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm really happy with em, they ride WAAAAAY better and I've wanted Duratracs for quite some time.

I got the wheels for a steal but the centers looked bad so I found the TRD caps for cheap and ordered em. Saw where a couple of others members did it and liked the look. They are TRD Sport wheels from a Taco!

There's a guy not too far from me whose wife wants them for her 4Runner. I believe it's a 3rd gen but not positive. I'm going to meet him Saturday, those tires and wheels are expensive so with the deals I got on the tires, wheels, and spacers I'm going to have a little to pocket on top of the new setup.

edit - also for anyone wondering these seem to run much larger than the 265 BFGs. I believe it's only supposed to be .4", according to the specs on the BFG and GY sites, but they look much more stuffed.
