Just as the title says, these are used black steelies, will fit on 2010-2011 4Runners and of course the FJ's. These come with the black center caps. Wheels come with 4 tires that are worn. Rims are in good shape no dents and have never off roaded them. Local pickup only. $300 for the set...

I thought I'd do a cost benefit comparison between these two oils as a number of us are using the 5-20W. I recently did my first oil change at 1700 miles on 2011 SR5 and used 5-20W mobil 1 because it was sold in bulk 5 qt at walmart. I'm now currently at 4400 miles. I've noticed mpg has...

I changed mine just shy of 2000 miles and plan on doing another one at 5,000 and then regularly changes at 6,000 internal thereafter. As the others have posted the steps to DIY at home was a PITA and not easy at all. I only have a 2 inch spacer lift on front and it was hard to get under...

I really like the way you grayed out the chrome. Where did you get the paint and what color is that? Thanks

I just installed 2" spacers in front to level out the front and now in need of an alignment. Took it down to Firestone and Just Tires and they say they don't have the software yet. They ONLY have it for 4Runner models up to 2010. They asked me if 2010 and 2011 models were the same. As far...

Having owned the 2nd and currently still have a 3rd generation the decision was easy. I like the lines and more rugged looks of the 4Runner over the others in its' class. Other features/advantages I considered were 4.0 L with towing capacity and body on frame construction. The pilot is...

I just purchased 2" levelling spacers to install this weekend. Do you guys think 285 70 17 are a bit too big and will cause rubbing? I've done the search on here, lots of info on lifts but no info on combination of 2" front level and 285. Is anyone using 285 70 17 tires with just a 2"...

You ever thought about painting the center caps an off color to make them stand out a little? I just picked up an identical set as yours and will be repainting and mounting. They are going on a metallic gray SR5.

Also did these rims have tpms in them? Is your tpms light indicator on at all times?

Phil, I always like black with white or dark gray body. Have you noticed a sacrifice in mpg as I've heard these are heavy rims?

I would like to get black rims for my metallic gray SR5 and believe the FJ steels are the cheapest alternative. Not the best looking but within my budget. I'm picturing the FJ OME with BFG goodrich white letterings out. Is anybody running FJ OEM 17" steels on their new T4R? They are...

I'm thinking of picking up some OEM aluminium FJ from a 2007 to put on my 2011 T4R. Anyone know if the TPMS is compatible with the 4runner? I heard some compatability issues on the 4th Gen while doing a search but thought someone might have circumvent it on 5th Gen. Thanks

Did you paint these yourself? Looks like original OEM painted flat? Looks nice, might do my own if it's easy :guitar3:

There is a guy that is selling a set of toytecs for $400. Would this be a good deal for what he has? They come with the coilovers and springs per below. Would there be concern if they've been rebuilt? set of Toytec Coilovers. They are adjustable coilovers which have bilstein 5100's and...

I'm jealous of the many pics members have posted of their new lifted T4R. I have a stock SR5 recently purchased that I would like to raise about 3 inches without breaking the piggy bank. I will not be doing any serious 4wheeling but more to get a higher ride and look to the truck. Can...
