No acid based wheel cleaners. They have been chipping like that since the day that I bought it. I think that the previous owner tried to paint the calipers themselves and did a really crappy job of it. Plan on repainting them correctly one day but havent got around to it.
What tires do you have on it. I think that they originally came with BFG G-Force tires at least mine did anyways. I bought my with 12K on the clock and havent had to change yet but I was interested in a tire very similar to the one that you have without the extra cost of the lift. Name...
I also have the XS-P package on my 06 Runner as well. These are not aftermarket upgrades but it is a package that is only offered in the south east. I purchased mine in Atlanta, GA.
The truck looks great! Do you think that 20 in wheels would fit with the same set up? You mentioned that you had a little trimming to do. Where will you need to trim at? How much?

Does anybody know where you check to fluid for the automatic transmission on a 4.7 motor. There is no dipstick? Also I checked the scheduled maintenance manual and it does not show the service interval time frame to preform this maintenance. Any suggestions?
