It looks like it is coming together quite well. I guess he won't be ready by the 12th for the Miami Boat Show. I would like to get down there for the show, but it may not be in the budget.

When there is a full rig put together, post a pic or two.

He plans on having a completed boat for the show, let's hope he makes it. I'll be down there for at least one day., it's a great show. Let me know if you make it down.

Hey I see you are looking for wheels. I would recommend looking up Mr. B because he has the same color combo as you and has an awesome setup. He has the polished wheels which is what I say you should go with IMO.

I was looking at the pro comps 15" but in the matte black finish. Only way I could afford new ones would be if I sold the ones I have now though.

[96BladeRunner]

Yeah that would probably look pretty good. I have the 1069's 16x8 and they cost me just under $500. I still have my original wheels and am having a hard time finding a buyer. Are you selling the tires as well?

[SRQ-Runner]

Right now I'm keeping the rims and tires I have. May get some new rims down the road though. Have some other stuff in mind for the T4R.

[96BladeRunner]

Well I guess in the mean time you can drool over these

This pretty much fits your current stance (username: jwillo7)



Lifted but you get the point (username: Mr. B)

I was looking at the rims in the first picture, found them for $92 a piece. One of my friends has them on his jeep and they look really nice. Those would probably be what I would get if I were to purchase a set right now.

Did a quick wash and detail today. Also waxed up the rims which I haven't done in a long time.

[96BladeRunner]

Looking good. I need to get mine waxed at work soon too.

Did a MPG test, 270 miles of all city driving and averaged 17.3 mpg. Can anyone confirm if this is good or bad for a 2.7L? I know there is a lot of people that discuss MPG for the 6 cylinder, but haven't seen much on the 4.

270 miles of all city driving? That must have been fun.

IIRC, you have a 2WD and according to the EPA, you should get about 17 in the city so you're right in the sweet spot. What's the weather like right now? If it's pretty warm right now, you should see a little bit more MPG. Then again, you do have that CAI.

Oh it was a joy, I hate tourist season. Thanks for the information, I'm surprised I'm actually still at the estimate with my tires and leveling kit. I guess it's not like I have a 3" lift or anything. In the mornings it's upper 40's, low 50's and the high is in the mid 70's.

That sounds a little low for the 4 cylinder. That's about what I get with my V6. I even have bigger tires than you and a slight lift.

EDIT:
Just ordered 1.25" wheel spacers. I figured since I cant go up, mine as well go out a little bit. Hopefully with my leveling kit I wont have rubbing, but if I do ill just get cutting!

Got 8 stickers from China for $1.35 and free shipping. Figured I mean as well put some on the Runner and see how they look. Think it turned out pretty cool. Worse comes to worse I rip them off and I'm out a dollar.



Also got two LED light bars I was going to use as AUX backup lights. But a friend is going to buy them from me. I'll probably go ahead and purchase anther set from EBay if I can get another great deal.
