Actually planning to sell them along with the wheels (mounted but no sensors). Shoot me a message if you're interested.

Only gone about 50-60 miles on them so far, but doesn't seem much different. Nothing dramatic.

I dont have the same set up, but I went to 275/65/18 and I am taking about a 1.5 MPG hit.

You should've got the headlight spacers painted body color. It would look a lot cleaner. It would cost around $50-$75 to get it painted.Looks awesome though.last weekend at otay.

Welcome,
Nice to see another 4Runner in Seattle, the Prius is multipulying hourly out here. I like to do business at that Northgate Discount Tire.
You going OffRoad? Or keeping her street only?
The heated cloth seats an aftermarket mod? Or oem?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the warm welcome - And I hear you on the Prius point. I hate those things! Funny that you knew that was the Northgate DT... They actually screwed up pretty badly, twice, in this transaction, but they've made up for their mistakes so, despite the issues we've encountered, I'll definitely continue doing business with them.
The only off roading this one will see is some winter snow on the passes and camping in the summer - No true off road action. Would've gone with the Trail, like yourself, had that been the plan!
I've had a pretty good experience at Affordable Tire & Brake in UD near the Audi dealership... while you wait the guys at ATB actually walk you out to the neighborhood and show you where you could go!
U know where I could get the wheels painted in the seattle area?

I actually know a guy that does amazing work for really cheap. He works out of Tacoma but does work in the Tukwila and Renton area quite often. Shoot me a message if you'd like his contact info.

They came with the 4Runner when I purchased her. I purchased used, so not sure who installed the heated seats.
You don't want to just use Plasti Dip like so many others on here? I'm thinking of going that option, have to wait until spring and it warms up. Is that want Danny's guy out of Tacoma is doing maybe? Maybe if the price is right I could just go that route.
Congrats on your First Home purchase.

Hi All,
Brand new here - Just bought my brand new classic silver metallic 2013 4Runner Limited a couple of weeks ago and love it thus far. Although I liked the way it looked from the factory, I wasted no time getting some new shoes on her. Went with 275/55R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on 20 X 8.5" Black Rhino Pondoras in black with a polished outer rim. I think it made it look 10 times better! Plus, the ride has improved quite dramatically.
I look forward to getting to know you all!
:cheers:

My guy actually uses paint - Super high quality work with no steps skipped. Last ones he did for me he sand blasted, primered, painted, then cleared. All for, if I recall correctly, around $60-70 per wheel. This included repairing gouges in a couple of wheels from curb damage.
Same guy does amazing and inexpensive mobile paint repair for anyone that has any kind of non-structural paint/body damage. Happy to share my connection for anyone that needs it.
