When you roll down the back windows though you hear/feel this fluttering sound which messes with your ears and thats from the tires,

That's called wind buffetting and it has nothing to do with your tires.

my dash only says i can go up to 110 idk about the 5th gens but i have gotten my needle way past 110 and onto where it says MPH and a little beyond..... only done that twice though and they were both in the same spot going slightly down hill

:iagree: X2

ElegantViolence: 115 in a 4runner? and you're "mad"? :nono:

good luck with that when you lift your rig another 3" and raise your center of gravity that much more. better think about beefing up your insurance.

was mad yesterday cause my truck wont let me go past 115mph it just bottoms out. Does that mean it has some chip or something in it that is not letting me get past 115?

Yep, a 'speed limiter' - different cars/trucks have them set at different points. It is not a chip but part of your ECU, they do make software/machines that can remove or increase that top limit (no idea if they make it for a 4R or not). My old 99' Durango was @118, and my friends 02' Yukon is around 98, so all depends on what you drive.

I do hope that you do not endanger anyone at these speeds, only yourself.

Thanks, I didnt know that. I always thought it was the tires, and i read the thread you linked to with people mentioning wind buffetting.

My gauge says 120 so i expected it to go 120mph but 115 is good enough for me and no i wasnt weaving in and out of traffic going 115 it was on straight aways and nobody around.

My 4runner SR5 and my mom's Rav4 limited V6... Both are blizzard pearl. The whole crew drove to the beach in our new Toyotas.

considering your tires are only rated to 106, or 112, I wouldn't be too concerned about going over 115.

R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans

unless you're in a school zone... then those ratings don't apply :nono:

I never tried to see how fast I could go, but I made it from San Diego to Phoenix in about 4 hours and 45min. I averaged about 95mph, but at times I had her up to 110ish. I never did try to max it out.

Nothing fancy here, stock runner. Everyone has seen this a thousand times but I'll post anyway. Here are some pics of my Runner.

Got the windows tinted today, only one pic with the tine and its a shitty iPhone pic.

Here it was before the tint.

I think this photo is sweet. Great ride. Those little rocks are cool. Thanks for posting.

I hate seeing those frickin gates... cuz I almost always want to check out the trail/road.
