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

Next will come sliders and front and rear gears 3.91's which will include a rear elocker. After that to just go out and use it a lot for wheeling and camping. :reddance:
 
Very nice........I'm still happy with my Nitto Trail Grapplers if you're looking for new tires.
How is the road noise in these TG's and what kind of mileage you get out of these? Tread wear?

I've seen no reply for you here so I thought I'd step in, keep in mind I am running 35's and brady is running a 32.6's

These tires are an offroad tire. Fantastic on rocks, mud, dirt and so on. They are one of the tougher tires on the market. Not a snow tire but can handle some snow. Not great on the highway, especially in the rain. They do make noise and they do wear realtively faster then other tires. I love the tires, but I only drive them on the pavement to get to the dirt and I like the sound of noise.

Whoops......first day off of work and checking messages. Road noise is minimal - I expected it to be a lot louder with the size of the knobs. My mileage isnt the greatest - I get about 300 miles to the tank, but I don't do a lot of highway driving. The tread wear appears pretty good too - and they were very effective in our snow last year. Never had any issues with them at all, but I agree with HUSKEY, if you're going fast on the highway avoid the big puddles. Not scarey, just wakes you up - I don't think it's much different than the stock tire, as being up higher may a bit to do with it too!!

A10: bad ass runner on 35's! you have all of the out fitting i want!
im going to get sliders and roof rack next. then someday shrockworks front!!
Thanks man! I would have gone SW but the wait is horrid and their Customer service is pretty crap from what I've heard too.

I love my perkins bumper!

Your rig looks good!
 
Here's my new setup.

1. Bilstein 5100's, OME 885 front coils + 1/4" topout spacer, OEM rear air bags adjusted for 2" rear lift, also have 1/2" 4crawer body lift for a total of 4" of lift
2. 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's on stock wheels, plus Spidertrax 1.25" spacers.
3. Love the setup. The OME's are a little stiff over bumps, but they make it completely flat in turns and no dive when braking, worth the trade off for me.

What's up fellas! Here are some pics of my 05 Runner. Been lurking on here for a while, and finally decided to post some pics. Runner has been lifted since 2006. Thinking of switching to an Icon lift. No problems with the Donahoe setup. I have no complaints. Just want to switch things up. Only problem I am experiencing now is my tires rubbing the front body mount right behind the front tire. Previously had on 285/70/17 and never rubbed. I can adjust my lift to go up another .5-1", just need to put the time aside. Pics are from when I first had the new wheel sets put on.

Debating a 1" body lift. Can anyone with a body lift on your Runner tell me some pro's and con's?

Welcome dezhoncho! Your stance looks perfect. If you're happy with your Donahoe Racing setup then there's no need to change to Icon Vehicle Dynamics since they are essentially one in the same. They restructured the company and changed the name a few years ago.

As far as the rubbing goes, you're rubbing now most likely because of the change in offset in the new wheels. The aggressive sidewall tread on the Toyo MT's might also be contributing. Unless you're rubbing on the body parts (fender, wheel well), a body lift won't benefit you. The body mount will always be at the same point regardless of how high the body is. You're gonna have to chop the body mount. It's a relatively simple process with a little welding involved. You can read about it here on 120: Body mount chop - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum

Here's my body mount chop
