2. 4 new BFG 275/70/17 AT KO tires

3. 4 new Machine Finish Method wheels

4. Black lug nuts for the wheels

5. Aftermarket painted rear spoiler by eSpoiler


Am I excited? Not even close, there's no word for how ecstatic I am!! lol :biggrin2:


P.S. Special thanks to momo.75, MyToy4, mikey's2010SR5, Dawg4Runner and the wealth of information on this forum for helping me figure out everything I need to make my Runner dreams happen, I am truly grateful!

And biggest thanks to my hubby for indulging in my expensive dreams to make my truck better. =)

P.S.S. I hope you guys can stick around when it comes to installation, lol, that's going to be an even bigger headache! Hahaha

Don't think there's a sale, it's always that price. For it to be shipped to Cali, taxes and all, it was $111 bucks, not bad!

If I'm not mistaken it says sale price in red. Regular price says $359.99 unless I'm just crazy an seeing things.

Ah-ha, I stand corrected! lol. I'm not sure then how long the sale is for, but it's been that price for a couple weeks now. Hopefully it will continue to be on sale for awhile, can't beat the price.

Okay, I thought it was you I remembered having this similar convo before, lol. Well, I'm not out and bout in town a lot, since I don't have to drive to work or anything, but when I am, I'm usually at FreeBirds world burrito, that place is freakin' awesome.

What color and year is your rig? I can't remember if I've seen pics now, suppose I could search for them too, lol. Do you have T4R stickers?

Oh, and ya, CA DMV sucks! You know you've found me on the road if you get behind my runner, because I have a Florida plate with a turtle on it.

I just posted up to date ones in the lifted and photo threads at the top if you want to see.

No stickers yet. I want to get one. Freebirds is awesome. I'll keep an eye out!

Dealerships...

Really are freakin' stealerships! Dang, I just called my local one to see how much they would charge just to "install" my rear spoiler, and they said it would be $276 dollars....$276!!! The spoiler was only a little over a hundred! Freakin' stealerships. Going to call a couple body shops, if they are just as ridiculous, we'll just do it ourselves.

Who did you talk to? I worked at the Vacaville Toyota dealer for a few years. Its a good dealership, most of that charge is shop charges and labor hours. Spoilers aren't necessarily easy so i can see that being somewhat fair.

Not to mention if i remember right its not a toyota spoiler, so that will make the price go up a little as well because they cant guarantee it to be 100% like a factory one.

 

[Mytoy4]

WTF?! That's crazy! Too bad you're not closer we could get this done together.

It was the Vacaville Toyota dealership I called. I do like that dealership, but really, 276 bucks to drill a couple holes and wire a light? Redonkulous IMO. I called an Auto Hobby shop and they said $75, much more reasonable, but I am more leaning toward doing it ourselves now.

I know, it's too bad! It'd be fun to work on our rigs together, and cheaper too! =)

they gotta have some kind of responsibility amount for drilling into your car. Just to play devils advocate.

I suppose, but I'd rather take the responsibilty myself and do it for that price.

 

[Cali4Runnea]

Tires are in!

Wahoo! My BFG's just got here, and DANG these things are beast compared to the stock ones I have now. I cannot WAIT to put them on my 4R, just waiting on the rims, but those will take a least another week to get here because they're on back order, booo...

Sexy new tires...

There to sit and tease me until me until my rims come in

 

[momo.75]

Awesome!!

 

[Dawg4Runner]

Sweet! Have you lifted it yet? Get ready to trim!
