momo.75's '03 Sport 4.7L V8 Build

I personally loved the all blacked out look you had going on with the black wheels, but the machined wheels look great as well. What matters most is it looks the way you want now :thumb:

I liked it to but has gotten old. Every time I would see pics with the machine wheels on it I wished I still had them......if only there was a button that could switch them back and forth depending on mood....lol

Yep, machined wheels all the way. Those look nice. I Still have the original wheels on my '03 Limited.

Nice look Momo! For the Cladding, did you have to buy them from Toyota or find them elsewhere? I'm trying to color match my green early model similar to yours!

Thanks. I had looked at ordering the panels from Toyota but it was going to be really expensive. I got lucky and found a 4Runner in a salvage yard with good panels and pretty cheap. Then I had them color matched. I did order all new clips and adhesive strips when I put them on.

I had also looking into having the gray cladding painted but had seen mixed reviews on doing this. They have to be prepped just right or the paint with flake.

Black wheels or machined wheels, looks great either way! Sometimes you just need a little refresh to keep things interesting haha.

Thanks. Yeah, i wish i could just keep a few sets of tires and wheels for different moods and just press a button to switch them out….ha

Would you happen to know or have pics of how the rear tires fit in the rear wheel well when the suspension is fully compressed? Contemplating moving up to a 285/75r17 tire like yourself.

How is the acceleration with you V8? Any plans to regear?

Sorry, I don't have any stuffed pics. As far as acceleration there is no noticeable difference between the 285/70 and 285/75. I had already done the body mount chop. I just had to trim just a little bit on the front fender but not much. If you want to see some more pics my IG is [MENTION=138036]Urban[/MENTION]_overland

Thanks.
