I almost got the guard dogs, but with Michigan's weather I went with the wardens. Are you going to have a winter set of tires and wheels?

I plan on getting them with "Kedge" grip and seeing how they do. If really bad, will have to get a winter set. I will keep the current tires as a back up though, at least for a bit. The Kedge grip is supposed to really help, hopefully.

Let me know how you like them. I might get a set for summer tires.

Will keep you posted. I forget who, but someone here has been running them for a while now and likes them.

I like the upgraded shocks! That's what my next "ToDo" is.. in terms of ride height.

Thanks! Glad to see you back man!
Now, if I could just get the contractor to finish this job so I could finish the painting, and the weather would cooperate so I can paint the outside.... I could get paid and afford the Headers, Tires, Body lift, Spacers, Brakes....Sheesh

So the contractor I am working for has a newer Tundra that is lifted with 35's and 20" rims. He has his old TRD rims sitting in garage. I asked him what he wants for them, $150 for all 4 with half used BF Goodrich AT's! Getting them Monday. Whoot Whoot!

I thought the newer tundras had 5 lug wheels, while the 4runner has 6.

Doh! They are buried and I snapped a quick pic, but looking at that pic again I think I see only 5 holes.... Damnit. If so, that makes a crappy day even worse. Either way, I looked them up on eBay and they go for around $1400 a set! O.o so if I have to sell them at least I'll make some money.

Ok, did some searching and since I need wheel spacers to fit the tires anyways I found ones that convert from 6 lug to the Tundra 5 lug. They are 2" and I only wanted 1.5", but they will do. Will keep looking for the 1.5" though.

Anyone know the difference in offsets between the Tundra 5 bolt and the 4Runner 6 bolt?

Ok, getting closer now. I sold the tires that came on those TRD rims to my mom for $200. They will be going on her FJ real soon now. They had more life in them than originally thought, and they are going to be a summer tire for her.
I stopped at the shop that is going to build my headers and he is swamped. He doesn't want to build headers from scratch now, but we went over options and decided that I am going to order a set of Tundra headers for the VVT-i motor and he will make them fit. He is also going to make me a custom Y-pipe and bend my tailpipe so it comes out the side and exhaust won't come in the cabin with back window cracked open. He already knew about the spark plug defouler trick to fool the ecu that there won't be any Cats anymore, so that was nice to not have to explain. He wanted to put it on his Dyno and tune it some, but being all wheel drive he can't get it up there. Sucks. So he will be doing the exhaust middle of July for me. Gives me time to put on my Body Lift, tires and new brakes though. He wants the B.L on first to give some extra room which is cool with me.

Well, that escalated real quick!!! In a good way though....
