I've put 35,000 miles on this set up (tires, lift) and the truck performs great. No squeaks or other issues, tire wear seems great too. I've been very happy with the set up.
The powdercoated wheels still look brand new, not a single scuff on them still.
The ski rack was a Yakima Fat Cat 6. The box is a packasport 90.
I drove my girlfriends Ford Exploder today...all I can say is the 4runner is so much more fun to drive.
