@brian2sun - Thanks.. Good info to know about the timing belt. I think I've seen a sticker in there in the past that said timing belt was changed at 6x,xxx miles so it's been a while. I'll have to look at it again. Yeah, I've read that the 75/16's will fit and I might just do that to begin with but I think I want to keep it close to stock height just for the simple fact that I like the stocker look and I want to try to keep it as close to that as possible, but, we'll see.

@pbcolt - Thanks and thanks for the offer. I think when I decide to go for the coils, I'll buy new. Is there a place you'd recommend? When you changed yours out did you do the work yourself? I'm a real rookie when it comes to working on cars. Changing the starter components and the antenna were my first forage into working on a vehicle.

Another question.... I was thinking about color matching the emblems to the thunder cloud cladding (I think it's thunder cloud anyway) but then I realized the 4runner emblem on the back over the plate would blend in too much. I'm now thinking about a darker gray/graphite look that's darker than the cladding but not black. thoughts?
