Here's the newly lifted Runner!!!! Check it out! many pics!

K&N Cold Air Intake, Flowmaster Super 44 muffler and tires. I LOVE the way my truck sounds when getting on it.

The GYSA's are good...not my cup of tea but people like them. I'm running the GY Wrangler MTR with kevlar and like them a lot. Definitely going to buy them again when I upgrade to a bigger tire.

But if you're only doing some light off roading I'd stick with an all terrain

Ha, ya I usually like a more agressive tire too, but the gysa's are such a damn good price!!! Ha ha. Maybe I'll end up getting something else, we'll see when it comes time to pull the trigger on tires. Thanks for the comments too, I love my hid's!

Truck looks great! I am really wanting to do the headlights like yours but I want to get a paint matched grill first. The interior LED's would be a great next mod; if you don't want to go into the detail of doing the soldering and all that you could just replace the stock bulbs in all the overheads, flip down mirrors, doors, etc. very easily and cheap! maybe tint the tail lights a little, to complete the tinted lights look.

I don't know if cheap is the way I would describe it. For quality LEDs like from superbrightleds.com or v-leds.com, it's pretty expensive (as far as little light bulbs go. But quality bulbs are worth the money if you are going to do it. Trust me, I bought ebay LEDs for one of my cars, and a year later, i had a strobe light party car inside and out lol

Well, it's cheap in the scheme of vehicle mods. Superbrightleds is the way to go for sure, get all of mine from there. I did get my dome lights, door lights and license plate lights for mine off of ebay and there is only two that have gone bad; one being a license plate light and the other being a door light (that strobes just like you said haha). But for $20 for all the lights, it's really not a big deal

Well I really want mud grapplers and a damn shrockworks bumper but the damn lottery hasn't been paying out too well!!!!!! ;-) being a fireman hasn't been paying out too well either, ha ha. So maybe the led mod is next after some new rubbers, thanks for the compliments on the truck they're very much appreciated!

I hear ya. If I ever get around to doing it (after I get some more important maintenance stuff done), then I'll more than likely be going with superbrightleds for the stuff you talked about (dome/map/etc). Hopefully I'll get this soldering thing down a bit more so I can do the dash too.

Haha I can relate. Being an unemployed college student isn't paying well at all these days. :violin: Must be the economy Anyway I also don't know where I'm pulling the next set of MG's out of. They are so expensive that I set up another savings account at the bank just to put money aside for them little by little. Is that sad?

Well if you want some really loud tires that actually last a pretty good while then the Mud Grapplers are the way to go. I am actually looking at (when I move up to 35's) getting a set of PitBull Rockers instead of the Mud Grapplers again. The PitBull's look SICK! and there really is no one that runs them so...

And no Kyle that is not sad, at $350 a pop that's what you have to do!

Those pitbulls are unique, I must say. I still like the look of the MG's though. Are you thinking of getting the radial or the bias? If you were going bias...why? Just wondering.

Looks great!!!!!!!

Nah, definitely radial, the bias are 14.5" wide and I think really wide tires look, not so good. 12.5" is really as wide as, I think, a 35" tire can handle

Looks great!!!!!!!

Thanks my man! It'll look better soon enough even, i hope at least!

Almost a year later here's how she sits. Its come a long way in my eyes.

Since then I've added the rack, lightbar, spidertrax, recovery gear, bike mount, cb radio. Led interior, scangauge 2, tires, weathertechs, fj stuff with my daystar kit, and the airlift 1000. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff too. Been a great truck for the last year and I have many more mods planned for the future. Next up is going to be a headunit, ome lift and hopefully a demello bumper.

Thanks for a kick ass year with this thing.

Nice looking truck Zach. I really like how the wheels turned out too. The center caps look great! Good job!
