Icon "stage 2" with KDSS pan hard bar.
I had an early version of this on my 2012 and really liked it (nose dive reduced, lots of freeway miles vs offroading, no issues in 30K miles) so I went with the same again. Thumbsup from me.

Any fitment problems?
My suspension guy is telling me to keep my backspacing closer to 4.30"
You running spacers? how tight is it to your UCAs?

No spacers.
No UCA issues (Icon Delta Tubular)
285/75/17 KO2's
Alignment set to Toyota stock (no aggressive camber/caster/toe built-in)
Icon Stage 2 Suspension not up all the way (but close).
Did rub on front mud flaps; removed them and all good.
Did rub on front body mount; had that chopped and all good. Could have also solved this through aggressive caster and/or going full-height on the Icon's. But went CHOP and it all works just fine.

Hard to tell by the pic, but who makes them?Thoughts on the new Method 703 wheels? They claim is that they grip better when running low pressure. Is that a gimmick?

lol totally understand your sarcasm. :biggrin1:
well, you know, everything is overly brandified these days. Look at everything in your sig, all have one to five logos on them (depending on scale). Can't really blame them all that much either in a sea of sh!t knockoffs and other garbage. *shrug*

Wow thats so great to hear!!!
Seriously thank you so much for the reply, really appreciate it!
Ps not sure if you've seen the messages I have left on your page. BUT.. I would love to see some more photos of your 703s if you dont mind!
Method released the 703's in "gloss titanium" yesterday. I wonder how these would look on a Super White 4R...

Also added a Bahia Blue option as well:
(oops, the blue is for the 701's...)

701s, but made a TRD center cap. Really simple, just sanded down the method center caps and found someone that made aluminum decals.
Been on since last July with no issues driving a mix of trails and highways. I really like these wheels and never had quality issues with Methods in the past. Have aired down to 10 PSI with no concerns.

I was trying to figure out why no body was running this color.... Someone get these on a super white.

I have a white 4Runner.. I like the blue a lot but think it might be too flashy.. reminds me of lowered sports cars. I like the 703 design better.. but I can't tell from all the pics if the gloss titanium is more like SILVER or is it darker like GUNMETAL.. I prefer darker...

Both colors look to be on the subtle side, which is nice esp for the blue so it's not so in your face bold.
They have the 701's in blue on a white raptor in this ad pic. Also the 703's do look a tad lighter than your typical gunmetal wheel:
Icon's in and Method 703's on.
NICE! is this with 285/70/17's?
