Anyone running the 5 spoke Tacoma wheels? Any information in regards to the increased back spacing, wider rim and larger tires? I've only seen the FJ wheels on the 4Runner.

Those of you with the 275 AT3s, do you guys have any problems with them balancing? I've been to Discount like 3 or 4 times to get the rebalanced because of the wobble in the steering wheel during breaking and freeway speeds.

I also started with tires, the same tires you mentioned, 275s as well. I went the C load range. They fill out the wheel wells nicely. The LT makes the ride stiffer which is nice, less floaty. Makes the 4R look more stout, just trying to decide whether or not to level the front a bit. Yes, a...

I've done that, no worries, the mod should delete it.

You'll be fine. As stated above, the 5100s will work with lifts. But you can certainly order them in a stock configuration. The ride height adjustable ones will level out the front in 3 different settings, .85/1.75/and 2.5 I believe.

I just had the 275s put on a few days agao, I'll post some pics when it's not raining and the 4R looks clean.

What would people's opinions be with either the factory mud guards or clear bra'ing portions of the rockers?

I didn't even realize a dealership would do such mods for you. Figured aftermarket installs weren't really something they did.

Quite true, I'm looking to have the Bilstein adjustable front shocks installed/standard length rears and they're booked into Oct. Anyone have another shop suggestion?

Got both the headlights replaced today, along with the rear shaft. They didn't really complain at all, just looked at them and did the swap.

Easy enough, now that I've settled down some from the shock I think it is fair. I was thinking about if I did make more of a fuss I wouldn't go there anymore for fear of problems from being "that guy." Thanks for the opinions fellas. My tires even came in today, guess those will have to wait...

Took the 4runner down for the headlight and driveline TSB. They took care of both replacing both headlights and an all new rear drive shaft no questions asked. The service manager is bringing it back from a test drive and pulls into a service bay where the forks are sitting off the ground. One...

So what am I missing here, the AT/3 and the AT/P both look practically the same.

That's the exact route I'm going. Run the 5100s all 4 corners, as stated the stock rears are terrible. The new shocks won't raise the rear at all, just a stiffer ride. You can also change the springs, though you will get more height out of the front and rear.

Aside from rubbing, what change have you noticed in your gas mileage?
