thanks for the info....oh, and congrats!

No issues at all. I just had to replace my front brakes and the dealer wanted to charge me 50 bucks to take the spacers off, but after a little complaining they ended up not charging me. no other hassles though.

I got the spacers from http://www.spidertrax.com. The WHS-007 spacers are for the 5th gen. 4runners. The transaction was smooth and the shipping was fast. The spacers come in sets of two, so for all four wheels you need two sets. It comes out to about 217 (I think, or 232, cant remember) with shipping.

Oh, and if the site says they are out of stock... just email them asking about them. Mine were "out of stock" too, but i emailed them, then ordered and i had em like a week or two later.

Sweet looking rig man!! Congrats on 4ROTM.



Just as an FYI, another easy way to debadge is to go to a body supply store and get some "plastic razors" these have a near razor sharp edge and will scrape the adhesive holding the badges from the paint, without marring the surface. Be sure to use some WD-40 as a lubricant as you scrape so that any dirt particles stuck to the adhesive do not scratch the paint, and to keep the adhesive from re-adhering to the paint if you release your pull for a moment. WD-40 is harmless to the clearcoat and helps to dissolve any leftover adhesive left after you remove the badge.

Thanks for the compliment. As far as the spacers go... i was pretty scared at first too, but thats why i went with spidertrax... not ebay... they are really nice products.
