1999 4 Runner, loved it!

I work for Toyota in the paint shop in Cambridge Ontario. I believe the Black colour is coded "202" and does have a clear coat. Some other colours ( White / 040, and Red [not on 4Runner] ) are called "monocoats" because of the weak pigmentation that whites / reds / yellows have ( ability to hide...

Read a thread on AutoSpies.com in the last few days from a Lexus dealer who had just attended a product roll out seminar. He stated that the new GX would be launched in January 2010, ( can only assume 4Runner in September of 09 ) Anyway the information given there stated a new 4.6L engine would...

The negative offset would push the wheels further out from the wheel well ( sticking out from truck ). Installer said this was illegal in Ontario ( debatable, certainly not enforced by the looks of some of the Dodge Rams around here ) Secondly and most importantly I was worried about increased...

Yeah, left the TPMS sensors in the OEM rims / winter tire set up. I did ask the dealer about installing them in the new rims; he said he would try but likely to cause a bigger pain / mess than either of us wanted. At least the low pressure warning indicator turns off when I park next to the old...

rook; LOL so true.... 2003-4x4runner; you'll be the first person that I PM if I'm forced to liquidate!

17" MKW rims and 265/70R17 Mickey Thompson ATZ tires. Slight scrub on front mud guards at full turn lock, but very minor. ( no lift ) Yeah, Borla exhaust, great sound. Thanks guys, difficult to find decent rims that were mid off set. Tires are nice; louder than the Micheline C/T's on the...

New wheels and tires recently, and Borla cat back exhaust. Otherwise your standard '04 Limited.

After some new wheels and tires...

Wow, I can't believe they filtered Mr. Cepek's first name!

Wheels are Mid offset; +10 mm I believe. I had one hell of a time finding rims that I liked that were not negative offset (ie **** Cepek DC-1 [ black ] )

Thanks for advice; do I take that to mean that your X-REAS is still hooked up / functional? If so, that's great news, what brand of lift did you install, if you don't mind me asking? Hayn4R; no worries, that's why there are different rims out there; pretty boring if we all liked the same thing.

Yeah, I'd love to get a lift; only two things holding me back. 1/ The truck's got X-REAS suspension and I'm not too sure what's involved if I opted for a lift. ( I'm imagining the tear-down of a lot of hydraulic suspension components) 2/I paid extra money for the X-REAS when I bought it, and I...
