Can we get another pic of your truck and the Armada with your new tires? I wan't to see how big I will be next to my dad's X when I get bigger tires.
Are you running 33's?
Also nice rig!
Thanks in advance.

Ya man I can do that. I don't have any pics of them next to each other on my Mac you'll have to wait since she's parked at school until I can drive her again when the parts come in.

The tires are almost 33s, there 32.76 load range E1 speed rating R.
I had to cut the square (inside wheel well) off of my mud flaps since when I turned the tread would barely bump into it.

And Thanks for the compliment.

He's did you paint your wheels originally? And what did you paint it with?

I painted the stock rims with Black Plasti dip Spray. Plasti Dip update

The paint has held up really well besides the wheel weights were making it bubble a bit.

Plasti dip is like a rubber paint. You can peel it off whenever. Just be sure to watch some youtube videos on how to apply.

3-5 coats. One coat every 30 minutes. Dont pour it on either, stay nice and far away when youre spraying it. Dont rush it!

My bumpers and rims were painted at the same time and as you can see the bumpers are doing fine fading yes but its not too bad so far.

I read on another thread that armour all works magic on plasti dip.

I threw 3 coats of rust oleum matte black on my grille, it looks amazing and applied well with extremely high humidity. No bubbles and dried pretty quick

Looking good. Always dig the white. Especially when it's clean.

Rack and pinion bushings
Outer tie rods
LCA bushings
LBJs
UCA Camburgs
Front brake lines
Extended rear brake lines

Looks really nice Kyle. I can imagine the money well invested and now you can put it all to the test! Good luck with your 4Runner, she's still a baby even with those miles!

 

[kmiller93]

Heres some pics of the Camburgs installed.

Next on the fix list is the sway bar end links. Ether make my own (can't find the thread again) or get extended ones.

 

[kmiller93]

Heres some comparison pics. I parked a stock 2013 wrangler sport and 2013 Ram next to my T4R.
