That's what I did! I post all my pics on Facebook too! (step 2 to becoming a pro)

Are there really other modes? Is that what the dial on the top does?

Speaking as a professional photographer (and on behalf of most of my friends, who do the same thing), Instagram is mostly great - you don't have to use their ****ty filters - and HDR is the devil incarnate. :vader:

The problem is, my friend, is that everyone (sorority girls) and their aforementioned kittens use the filters to post pictures of margaritas and cosmos and place them on Facebook for the world to see......

And whats wrong with HDR for us amateurs? It looks cool.

(Sarcasm is included free of charge in this post). ;-)

Dude I hear ya, there's things about Instagram that have me convinced the world really is going to end in 2012 ... the Popular page makes me want to drive off a cliff. But there's some killer photographers on there, too. Gotta dig.

Finally get to post on here!

So after some work, here goes:
2006 4-Runner Limited V8
Billstein 5100's
ProComp Springs
SteelCraft BullBar w/ KC HiLite's
Powdercoated 18" Limited Wheels
Yakima Mega Warrior
On Board air

Now all I need is some new rubber and I am open to suggestions! With minimal rubbing/trimming and the use of some Spidertrax 1.25" spacers, what would be the best? My main concern is fitting it underneath in the spare tire well, after that not too much rubbing and trimming (I will take the mudflaps off).

Probably 50% dry road use
25% packed snow/ice/slush use
20% off road use
5% deep snow use

I would like something functional more than how it looks, somewhat aggressive yet still quiet on the highway, and with a treadwear warranty if possible.

Open to Suggestions!

 

[breckenridgeguy]

I know how helpful everyone else has been to me, so please don't hesitate to ask questions about anything, or even request more pics Hopefully sunday after church I can get it to one of my spots for good pictures:thumb3::thumb3 here's one more until then!

Looking good man. I powdercoated my 18's too and now i need some rubber. How much trimming did you have to do with those tires, and did your spare fit underneath?

Thanks

I'm all about some mickey thompson's mud terrains great wear pattern (wear's evenly) 285/70/r17 should work good for ya i dont think anything bigger than a 275/70/17 will fit in the spare carrier under the truck but i've never tried i went from 275/70/17's to 305/70/16's

I think duratracks A/T's and BFg's A/T's are the more popular amongst the forum though could be wrong just what i've seen

Thought I'd finally post some pictures of my Daystar 2.5/1.5 space lift. Overall I'm happy with the results. Now, I just need another pair of Spidertrax spacers and probably 265/70/17 tires.

Before and after measurements...Was surprised to see I got 3" of lift in the front. Truck is damn near level. BTW, this is the old Daystar spacer kit requiring you to install the preload spacer.

Before:

FR: 33.5"
RR: 35 1/4"

FL: 33.5"
RL: 35 1/4"

After:

FR: 36.5"
RR: 36 3/4"

FL: 36.5"
RL: 37"
