They should fit on your rims but then the issue will be fitting the wheels on your Runner. I had to get aftermarket rims with a width of 8.5 in order to alleviate all the rubbing and was told this was because of the factory rims had a positive offset while the aftermarket were negative offset...

Cool, I figured that the majority of guys on the thread worked emerg services in some way or another.

Maybe a dumb question, but why install emergency lights in your 'Runner? I can see it if you're an emergency responder (ksneubec) but other than that..... I know up here it's not legal to have red or blue emergency lights installed in personal vehicles, police and other emergency vehicles only.

Ya, this year has been cold, but when I first for up here, winter '05, we had a couple of weeks in -40 celsius. The disply just showed dashes, no temp. -30 C does seem to be the cut-off for the disply.

Ya, as far as my 2 cents goes, Nokian make some of the best winter driving tires around. I think that they are such a secret becuse Nokian doens't do much for advertising. More word of mouth I guess. JP: I did some more looking at work and we are also running Nokian WRs on one of our cars...

I don't know about the WRs, but I've been running the Hak SUV (non-studded) for a couple months now and they are great. Lots of grip on snow, loose and packed. Haven't had them on ice too much so can't really say how they handle there. I also have the Hak LTs on my work truck and they're good...

Hey guys, i know there's got to be more than one person with the "muffler only" MOD. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, will do.

I have searched the forum for an answer to this question, but havent been able to find one yet, so here gos.... I want to upgrade my exhaust but don't really need the full cat-back system (want to save a bit of $$$). What size/model/series of muffler (Magnaflow preferably) will fit? Also, any...

thanks eddy. the tires and rims came to just over $2000 Canadian. one more pic:

Well the suspense has been killing me, but I finally got the Runner all washed up and ready to show off it's new additions. First came the Cornfed lift and then came the 18" Core Racing "Attacks" wrapped in 285/60/R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've removed the mud flaps for now as they were...
