Thanks man! That's what I was thinking too. Added that extra unmf to it.
Yeah a little bit haha. I let Sean ride with me so he could see what the ride felt like with the lift. I think I got toytec some more buissines haha.

They are the SR5 flares. They came on the base model too if. I'm not mistaken. Are you looking for some?

Haha no problem man, and yeah I just got the itch to do it again when I saw the mud hole. Didn't do anything serious though. Also a small update, after some serious consideration and researching, aka Singtoe's build among others, I'm going to end up doing a v8 swap. The reason being that I want more power and I feel that I can't justify buying the supercharger and for the money I would spend, I might as well go with a v8. I will be following Singtoe's thread very closely after I find a sequoia. I walk to work everyday so not having a vehicle isn't a problem for me at all.

Yeah I was thinking about the rear turbo..but I like the thought of having the v8 power with an actual v8.

Curious how much the 285/75 tires rubbed at stock height? Need tires come spring and thinking of bumping up.

Alright so for those if you that are curious gather round because the story is there and I'm going to tell you what you need to hear, it started a month ago when I got back from deployment you see...okay seriously, I got back from deployment and had shit for tires, the kuhmos I had were just terrible. So I took my happy ass to the discount tire near base the day after I got back. I told the guy I needed to get new tires and I want to get 285s, that being said I figured they wouldn't put them on because of rubbing issues. I said I wanted a test fit so we put em on and they actually cleared the UCA with an about 1/8th inch gap. Good enough for me beings my drive to Texas was due in the next hour. So driving around town, I didn't have any rubbing, driving 23 hours straight to Texas, minimal rubbing till I got about 23 miles from my parents house I started hitting the UCA when I would go above 55mph. After that I had to reroute because they were doing work on I-10 I hit a sharp turn and rubbed the inside of my wheel well pretty good on the passenger side.
With all that being said I would say that it's safe to run them IF you're only doing daily driving, I wouldn't keep your truck at stock hight for too long if you're going to run 285s the least you can do is get the front 1 1/4 inch coil spacers from toytec. Or if you want to keep it at stock hight, the 1.25inch wheel spacers also work wonders. At the very least of what I have explained I would say that there are precautions to take into consideration when going with 285s at stock hight.

Sorry about the really late reply, but thanks for the schematic for the cab lights! I've been doing a wiring project myself, setting up the 4runner for a Code 3 MX7000 off a wrecker. $30 bucks for the lightbar, none of it worked when I got it until I rewired it. Now most of it works. Annnnnd I believe I have justification to build a plate bumper now.
