Any holiday sales on cup holders?

I need to do this to mine. My woodgrain is losing all of the clear plastic coating and is starting to look terrible. My plan was to heat with a heat gun and peel it off.

I don't suppose you still have your ome suspension kit and want to sell it do you?

Whats the tire size/lift combo? It looks great

Do you have a rough idea of a total materials cost?

I know it looks good now but unless you cut the rust out it will come back behind the bondo and be much worse than before. You might try a small sandblaster to blast the rust out but it will be very hard to get it all out.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you know when the catalytic converter is bad? Mine is a 97 with 115000 miles. Im coming from a couple of z71s and an old ford bronco so im used to v8 power.

I went with the FJ wheels. It was definatly the right decision! I think she looks great with the black wheels. Will look even better when I put a plate bumper on the front! The tires hum pretty loud but no louder than I would have expected.

How much lift would that give you?

I started looking for a 2nd or 3rd gen 4runner last year. The more I read about the 2nd gen the more I leaned to the 3rd gen. Mostly the headgasket problems. A lot of people said the 3.4 had quite a bit more power than the 3.0. I ended up finding a 97 SR5, leather, one owner, dealer...

I got my new mud tires in. I went with an Eldorado MTZ mud terrain. 265/75r16. Made by cooper in Texarkana, AR. The price was cheap, hopefully they will last ok. (at 5000 miles a year it should be fine). Here is my question. If the guy doesnt sell them out from under me, I can get these...

Has anyone bought from Simple Tire? It looks like they have pretty good deals. I can get the ElDorado MTZ sport, which is the same exact tire as the multi mile I linked earlier, for 598 shipped to my door. From what ive read, these tires are built by Cooper in Texarkana TX. I think thats...

Has anyone ran a Wild Country MTX? Pretty good looking tire at a good price. 4 New Wild Country MTX Mud Terrain Tires M T 265 75 16 265 75 16 2657516 C | eBay

Someone correct me if im wrong here. Ive been told that on newer engines that were designed to be used with catalytic converters in the system, performance and mileage can actually suffer from complete removal. Something to do with losing too much back pressure. Not to say you need the...

After doing some searching I realize I asked a very common question. Apologies. It does look like ill be better suited with 265/75r16 tires. I did see some pictures of rigs with those tires. With and without lifts. If anyone would like to post some more, (especially with a winch bumper) post...
