Thanks man! I know, I live in Alberta Canada and the LC80 wheels had to be imported from New Jersey!! You should just look at Craigslist in the states. I paid $400 for the wheels after I drove across the border and picked them up. Fair price for bombproof and rare wheels IMO.
I flexed out the rear end with my jack and it looks like the tires are going to clear the fenders, but barely. So, do I buy a OME lift (dont want to cause ive alredy spent way too much on this thing this already) or drop $120 and get a 1" bodylift and eliminate my rubbing worries forever??? decisions...

Got some new audio equipment installed in the 4Runner today. I got a super sick deal from my roommate who used to work at Future Shop (and now at Best Buy). I got some Energy 6.5" for the front and Energy 5.25" for the rears. Both sets are full component setups with tweeters and crossovers. I have not heard much about the Energy car audio line-up but I know that their home audio stuff is absolutely superb, so I thought I would give em a shot, plus the deal couldnt be beat.
Fronts:
I cut the factory tweeter grills out and installed the Energy tweets in their place, looks hella clean IMO.
Rears:
Overall I am surprisingly impressed. I did not amp the speakers and may not now, considering how crisp and great these things sound!!
And a random shot of the 4Runner:

haha thanks man! No write-up that I know of on the LED's, I should have made one when I did it. It's pretty easy, even considering that I didnt tap into the rear window motor for power, i went straight to the battery. If you decide to do it, let me know and I can give you some tips.

Awesome, you cant go wrong with a canon SLR. Definitely get some good glass when you are able to, as it makes a WORLD of difference.
FYI - The 50mm f/1.8 lens aka "the nifty fifty" is only $100 new. It is known for having outstanding sharpness and image quality at a ridiculously low price. It's just made of plastic like a pop bottle. Check it out if you need something that blurs backgrounds like crazy, is tack sharp, and doesnt cost much!

VERY nice. Any thoughts of going for black lugs?
And I even like it despite you being a Canon guy.

hahah oh here we go! jks.
Black lugs would be nice but they are hard to get up here.... i would expect to pay double what you guys pay south of the border for the black lugs. However, I plan on keeping a little chrome on my rig. I like the "factory" look so I wont stray into full "murdered out" territory. I actually almost painted the wheels silver. I need to get the rest of my lift pieced together, get my sliders on, and get my E-locker swapped in before I do anything else aesthetical. (I have a crazy projector retrofit planned too... ) SO MUCH TO DO!!! hahah
One day Hepar I am gunna drive out your way and we should go wheeling! Im about ~12 hour drive from Vancouver BC(done it quite a few times in one day) and I would love to see some trails in your area.

That would be awesome. I'm wanting to now check out some of the trails behind the Britannia mine up by Squamish. Let's get a group going sometime for sure.
