Third post updated with the deets. White letters out this time and I dig it.

They're 265's. Cmon Speedy, you gotta be quicker than that!

The wheels are turned and it's not a full on side profile. But from what I can see, with as stuffed as the rear looks to be, I might say they are actually 285's.

Don't keep us waiting!

Edit: Aha, I did guess correctly! They turned out great man. The truck looks great as always.

Just finished watching the YouTube video. I definitely agree with your statement about size vs. type of tread. My St Maxx's appeared larger than my AT3 XLT's despite both tires being the same size.

Well done man.

Yep, good guess. I was very surprised how much larger these Toyos looked than the Revo2 I had on before. The Revos were well worn so maybe that was some of the difference, but in the end I got exactly what I was "looking" for and I didn't have to lose any performance in the process. I had forgotten how quiet new tires can be.

Next up are some fluid changes. I think I'm gonna build me one of those DIY pump sprayer fluid pumps.

Getting ready to do some fluids so I built a diy fluid transfer pump. Hopefully it pumps the fluid quickly.

Video in third post of this thread if you wanna see my version. Can't take credit, saw it online and here as well.

Starting to plan ahead for some interior restoration. My arm rest cover is toast and I already have a leather replacement for that, more to come there.

However, the steering wheel could use some love too. Original was scratched so years ago I put a leather perforated one on from Performance Products (anyone remember that place?). It's now also worn.

Looks like some much better option available now and I'm eyeing something like this. Can't decide on all leather or if the top and bottom should be suede?

Thoughts?

I am digging that wheel, Speedy. Would be cool if you could get the red, orange and yellow stripe like the Toyota colors. But overall that is sweet looking and will really modernize the truck.

That's what I was thinking, modern sport trucks have wheels like that with the center line etc, kinda like the Raptor as an example.

I've been building mine sorta how I thought Toyota might have done a sport version of the 4Runner.

Now I gotta decide on that suede. It looks good and probably feels nice, but I wonder how it holds up vs regular leather. For what these cost I could get one of each and just keep one on hand for down the road I guess.

Leather wears very well and will last a long time. I'd stick with the leather.

Suede leather jacket's & shoe's don't stay looking good for long, seat inserts either.
Checking out the care and cleaning procedure for it might clear up that decision.

Red (or any) strip at 12 o' clock is more suited to race/rally cars and ricers, not a 1.75 tonne SUV! A visual accent too far IMHO. Speedy I hate to break it to you man but you aren't 22 any more.

Yeah the suede not holding up was my major concern. Leather it is.

Not so sure the 12 o'clock mark is only for rally cars and will line up with future changes I have planned ;)

2023 Raptor Interior different strokes for different folks as they say. It's technically for removable steering wheels in race cars to get alignment right during installation, but is a nice touch IMO.
