Building, Driving and Adventuring the MTN4RNR

Great design. When I'm done with my kids, I think I'll be deleting the rear seats and begging, pleading and even perhaps bribing you to make me one.

You let me know when, and we will make it happen sir. In the mean time, the mountains are calling...
 
After the exhaust tip was a bit... squished... after the last trip, I took it upon myself to knock out 2 birds with one stone; cut the exhaust back for better clearance, and turn the tip out to the passenger side to eliminate exhaust fumes from entering the back window. The stock piping is 60mm, or 2.38" more or less. We made the tip out of 2.25" pipe, and the direction/angle is spot on. The fumes have been eliminated, but I am going to have this tip replaced with one that is 2.5" because when I get on the skinny, it makes a nice (and by nice I mean unappealing) whooshing noise which I think is because the tip is just slightly smaller than the stock piping. Oh well, live and learn.

Love the rear "pin stripes"
Does the side out all together eliminate the sulphur? Even a little, is tempting, I feel bad with the pooch in the back, he loves the air thru his ears but I'm sure he doesn't enjoy that smell

I earnt 'em.

So far as I can tell from today, it's 95% gone. A little wiff here and there, but not as bad as before. I will be putting some good miles in this coming weekend, so I can update you after to let you know. Fresh air for pup is a good thing.

Congrats on the new rig!

Those aren't the OEM wheels, they are copies I think.

The original Toyota wheels are 7" wide, The price is great but I would do some research about offset and rim width. I'm sure they would fit and stick out a bit more than stock with that width and offset. But I'm so OCD I'd get the real deals.

Congratulations, [MENTION=145751]RollTide2414[/MENTION]. [MENTION=143464]BS Goodwrench[/MENTION] points out a key factor. Make sure that the wheels you are purchasing are legitimate, either being a verified Toyota product, or through a reputable manufacturer such as FN Wheels (who makes a TRD look alike). Wheel strength and material are pretty key factors considering the loads and stresses that are put on them during everyday use, let alone off-road. Personally, having looked at the link you posted, I wouldn't trust those wheels, but that is just me. Good luck!

Ouch! I went by the Toyota dealership and they said they would fit but I don't think they really looked at them. A little worried now but I guess if all fails I can return them and I'm just out of shipping. If these fail as from what I'm reading good chance I'm returning them can you purchase these through Toyota?

I should have addressed that as well, from the looks of it, they will fit. But with such little information available from the link that you provided, and the seemingly low price, I would proceed cautiously.

You can purchase them from Toyota. Here is all of the information that you will need on those wheels.

I would trust you on that, despite your low vertical clearance and lack of ICON stage 6 lift *cough*

Does anyone know the correct lug nut to use with these wheels the stock lug nuts do not work and if I return these rims and go with the actual TRD black alloy wheels from Toyota will my factory lug nuts work?
