I can't find my original post. Anyways, I have some new pics.
Thanks
This is when I first bought my Runner in Dec. 2007. It came with 20" wheels and the stocks wheels.

With the FJ rims

FJ rims painted black, no running boards, and black painted grill.

Sold the FJ rims, 2 inch spacers and lifted the Runner on 3/2 Cornfed and 265/70/17 Maxxis tires.

Wheels are painted black

I like the factory wheels painted black with the black rear view mirrors and front grill! Looks great! Keep it up!

 

[bren_speed]

Thanks. I thought the chrome grill looked a little off since that was the only chrome part on the vehicle.

Both of those wheels look good in black. Were you bored with the FJ rims? Those looked really nice

I liked the FJ wheels but I really wanted the sport wheels. I had the SR5, 20" Demoda (came with 4Runner) sport and FJ wheels. I sold the other wheels because I needed the money and the space. The only other factory wheels I like are the Sequoia (5 star gunmetal) and the FJ TRD wheels.
Thanks

bren_speed,

Wow...you went through a lot of wheels.

 

[bren_speed]

Yeah, the 4Runner originally came with the 20's and the factory SR5 wheels (worn tires) and I traded the 20's for the FJ's. I really wanted the Sport wheels and bought them with brand new tires. So, I sold the FJ's and the SR5's because I wanted to recoupe som of the cost for the new tires and rims and needed to make space in my storage.

Where did you get the 2in spacers from?

VERY NICE!

 

[bren_speed]

Thanks for the comments. I bought the 2" spacers at a local off road shop here on Guam. I bought them for $300 for all 4. I still want to do a few things to the runner and eventually upgrade the suspension for harder driving.

A couple new pics from a charity car show. There's also 1 pic of my friends FJ Cruiser w/ 20" wheels.

What kind of paint did you use on your grill? It looks awesome!

 

[bren_speed]

I used Evercoat satin black paint. They have black in satin and matte. Satin works best because it has a bit of sheen and the dirt cleans off well.
Thanks.

I took a few pics while walking back to my car from the drag racing track.

Thanks man. Hafa Adai. After driving my 4Runner for three and a half years in Guam (tropical climate) and SoCal; I've finally had a chance to hit a little bit of snow. It's been in sand, red dirt, brown dirt, mud and now snow. I didn't even have to use my 4WD. I wasn't planning anything major. I just figured I'd head out the mountians to play in the snow. I was only able to take a few pics since I was doing other things. I'll upgrade more stuff later. I have to say this is one of the best vehicles I've owned so far.
