Sold it. :sadwave: I has a sad. But it went to a good home with a coworker. So I'll still get to see it.

I'm the same way. I put off buying stuff because I go OCD on the details and possibilities.

If you plan on staying with a 265, I personally don't care for the look of a 3" lift, too much fender opening. The Tundra front coils with OME 906 rears and a nice square shoulder 267/70-17 tire like a BFG AT would be a good look and do well with occasional trailer and hitch loads. Make sure...

What are the wheels? I like them.

Fronts will be fine. And the rears will work with an adapter like the one pictured here: http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Rear-Bilstein-Shocks-for-96-02-4RUN_p_64.html#

I'm running them now on Taco 5100's and am really happy with the ride and stance.

I ran this setup for a while with a .250" top plate spacer. Ride was not great but it gave about 2" of lift. Enough to clear 285's pretty well.

I've been running Tundra TRD strut assemblies w/ .25" top plate spacers for about a year and have been extremely unhappy with the ride. I just installed a set of Tacoma Bilstiens with the ToyTec Eibach coils up front and kept my 890's out back, and the improvement is tremendous. It should be...

Taco Billies all around and ToyTec Eibach coils up front. It rides soooo much better and sits fairly level. Wish I would have started with this setup, but live and learn, right?

Dude, your runner looks killer. I love the wheels and tires. And the red and black looks cool, pretty unique on one of these. afg, you're right, it's tough to find anything but an E rated 285 for a 16" wheel. There are a few D rated tires out there, but not many. Step up to a 17" wheel and...

I may have a set of 890's available fairly soon if you're still looking.

Yea, interested. I'd also like to know time/mileage on them.

Not sure how, but today was the first I've seen of this thread. Just went through from beginning to here. What a badass build! The rear bumper/tire carrier is too cool for words.

Thanks for all the input. I don't smoke, so that's out. I have only applied the Rain-X once, so I'll give it another application or two. And I know I have the air source set on recirculate, so I'll change to outside air and see if that helps. I know the A/C comes on automatically when I go...

Whenever it is cold out, my windows fog like crazy. It's all the defroster can do to keep the windshield clear and the sides still fog 'til I can't see out of them. I've tried Rain-X antifog stuff and it didn't do squat. Any suggestions?
