Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

That looks great! :hatsoff: I haven't been on very much lately but nice to see you finally got everything put on. Your truck looked so much better than mine even before the tires with the wheel spacers....they make any wheel/tire combo look more aggressive. Of course, now it looks much better.

I notice you were around 37.5" with the stock tires. Thats right around my initial lift amount (~38.5-38.75 w/ 31.7" tires), before any settling. I would advise you to keep an eye on your CV boots. I'm sure you will need to reclamp as well. They started spitting grease about a week after the lift and wouldn't stop leaking until I reclamped them. Now they haven't leaked a drop, as far as I can tell, since last year.

Also, be mindful of your ball joints as mine have developed a tiny amount of play. They were leaking a little grease as well after the install but haven't done much since. Ahhh...the joys of lifting.

haha yea man, i'm real excited about the new look, its a whole new beast:hunter:

Did you already get an alignment? the tires look just a little bowed out, but it is hard to tell from a photo.

yea i did, haha, i held the camera at an awkward angle, my bad!

Thanks man! Your rig is very nice! reminds me of when i first lifted mine!!! The mobius is my personal baby! I didn't have the heart to see a 80k boat deteriorate in the salt water so I bought her a few years ago! I'm gunna bite the bullet and buy a centurian soon. I usually spend most my time behind my dads Enzo sv230 when i prepare for wakesurf competitions and i love it! Pumped for summer as well! As long as it decides to show up... LOL :cheers:

thanks man! Yea we test drove two different Centurions, GREAT wake surfing boats, they throw a huge wave with the right ballast, and a few friends in the back never hurt anyone:hatsoff:

If you want to keep your front flaps you could trim the inside like i did. Keeps all the crap off my tubes.

How many times have you walked out to look at it?....lol

hahaha yea man, whenever I'm home, probably about twice per hour... The gas drop blues have already sunk in, as you know what hill we live on haha... probably going to end up avg. 16 and half or maybe 17 over span of a few tanks. I'm so happy with it though:girl:<---:hungry:

That is very well done. I'm trying to work a deal on some FJ coils right now and top it off with a DS lift. If not I'm going the OME/Superflex route. My tire consideration is what I'm struggling with now. I'm leaning towards 275's, thought I have 17" wheels. I love how your tires have the perfect size to the fender wells. It really appears balanced out. Very nice work.

As I've combed through all the posts and pictures, I've noticed a difference in tires. I'm going with an "AT" tire and not a "MT" tire. The "MT" tires definitely appear bigger in size compared to the AT's. I've previously had Toyo MT's on my gas guzzler. Nice, but noisy and I want better mileage.

Your pics confirmed the direction I'm heading with my lift and at least tire size to some degree. Love it... same color as my 4Runner too.

[magert54]

zstampe, what do you edit with? It looks awesome!

 

[jaybird93000]

I believe he uses photomatix, which is a great program for HDR. Stamoe, for all those ddi u use the typical tripod and 3 exposure way? I never can get it right without the tripod...

It looks really cool!...:hatsoff:

Thanks magert! Yes jaybird is correct, I took 3 different exposures using my tripod. Then I uploaded them into photomatix which layers the pics on top of each other. From there I edited them for more or less effect.

 

[jaybird93000]

A few i also edited with Photomatix! haven't used a tripod yet, these are just free standing ones, so not as good as they could be! Hope y'all enjoy! Comments/suggestions welcome:hatsoff:

do they have that app for iPhone? i searched and the only thing that came up was a thing called photomatic without the "x" is it the same thing?

Not sure. I took my pics with my dslr camera and edited them on the computer. I know they do have decent HDR apps for the iPhone though if you search for that.

It is strictly a computer software, but stampes right, there are multiple solid HDR apps in the app store!
