That idiotic chrome exhaust tip is all that bothers me, stupid.

Check out this thread for blacking out the chrome,
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/63476-blacking-out-runners-chrome-13.html
More importantly or easier to do is buy this for the rear (@"Hook Em' Horns!" posted this find originally):

It's pricey but so easy to do. Rear is blacked out in about 5 minutes!

Too bad you are not in NY. I would have gave you a good deal on my n-fabs and my Nitto's.

I'm curious about that blackout kit as well....
Pricey, but I wonder if its just as good to plasti-dip them?

They have made it through about bi-monthly carwashes over the past 8 months. The heat of the summer has not faded them and no sign of the 3M double sided tape coming off.
Coincidentally the plasti-dipped and glossified roof-rails have survived just as well.

Get some plasti dip from pepboys for $12 and spend an hour of your time doing it yourself... I did, and it looks great. Have unlimited car wash and I use it everyday. No sign of wear or anything.... and if there is one day, so what? spend another hour next year or two and do it again for a new finish. It's easier than you think.

I had it before my lift if I didn't drive it for a few days then after about 30 minutes it went away.
I drive it daily, some days it's worse than others ... Still stays straight but if you take your hands off the wheel you can see it move and feel the difference ... They supposedly rebalanced the tires but that didn't seem to work

I get the same just at ~60MPH. At my first service, they rebalanced and rotated the tires. It is happening again, 2,500 miles later.
Since it seems to go away after I drive awhile, I'm wondering if it isn't the tires flat-spotting overnight. I had some Khumo or Sumitomo tires a few years ago on my M Coupe that would flat spot if I didn't drive for a couple of days...

I experienced the same vibration issue...Haven't noticed it since my 5,000 mile service last week which included a tire rotation.

From a few weeks ago -- the area where I took this photo probably has two more feet of snow (and counting) on it.
The Nittos do pretty well in the snow, but I'm considering getting dedicated snow wheels+tires. I spend a lot of my time up in the mountains, and this week, going up and down I-70 in a few storms, I found the grip to be a little squirrelly.
