Not yet. I got distracted with my new wheels and tires. Next... I need to start my grille. I have all the 'stuff', I just need to find some time. And I need to get my sliders painted and put on.
Then I have to do something with that terrible looking exhaust pipe.

 

[Mytoy4]

Looks siiiiiick T!!!

You and I are rockin' the same tires... at least for the next few days. I love the Coops. Yours are even wider than mine . You'll enjoy them. Great all around tire for wet & dry, on & off-road. Never got to ride in the snow, but I'm sure you'll find out soon enough how they handle. Only thing I've noticed is that when they sit cold for a while, they tend to flatten a little so when you warm them up, you may hear them thump for a little while until they round back out. It's not bad though. Other than that, they're barely louder than any H/T and really quite for an A/T. I only hear mine start to howl around 70-75 mph or so.

Congrats girl!

Thank you, PD! It's definitely an adjustment. It truly is transformed. Amazing the difference the wheels make.

Throw some red pinstriping on on the front grill. It's a Subaru favorite, but I think it still looks good around the inner edges. Or pinstripe your black rims!

I'd have to see the grille idea, surely can't picture that. If you have an example, post a picture.
The wheels will go untouched, for sure (well except for the center caps being added).

 

[SLDWYS]

is a pretty good example.

You could just use the red tape that they have instead of painting. I kinda think a red pinstripe around the outer edge of the rim would be awesome.

 

[Mytoy4]

Hmm... I actually kind of like that. Thanks for the idea

i found that kit i was talking about..

1/4" RED Reflective CAR/MOTORCYCLE Wheel Rim Pin Stripe PINSTRIPING TAPE Kit 6mm | eBay




It would def look awesome and its removable if you dont like it. only thing I've seen guys put the stripe on the actual rubber right up against the rim instead of putting it on the rim itself that would be the rout id take if i had your wheels. Its actually got me thinking about doing it to mine

I'll be sure to post up the process as I go. Hoping to start it soon.

Hey, do you see where I'm from? NE doesn't have much of nothing! I posted a picture of me rock crawling, that wasn't enough?
All seriousness though, we really don't have much of nothing here in NE. The closest place to go real off roading is 3 hours away. Soon I hope to make it there.
In the mean time, I hope to find someplace that I can take it this weekend just for a bit of fun and some pictures. I'll be trespassing, I'm sure... olice:

 

[Mytoy4]

Just for you RedAggie!
It's no off-roading, but it's not the driveway either

While I was out I grabbed a shot of these twin fawns. So precious!

Hey so how do you like the ride with your lift?

I really like the kit I got. It handles very much like it did before, just taller. The tires are a bit different in ride. I need to get an alignment done. The ride was a bit rough today, Just waiting for my center caps to come in so my wheels are taken off once. Hoping that once it's aligned it will ride a bit smoother.

I had to share something kind of funny about my new wheels. I have a Harlequin Great Dane. Harlequin is a color pattern (white with black patches). He often gets mistaken for a Dalmatian.

Anyways, I drove my 4runner to work yesterday and someone asked if I had gotten new wheels. Another girl standing nearby chimed in quickly and said that she saw the black and thought my hubcaps fell off. :lmao:

 

[Mytoy4]

Nothing new...yet. Just making notes.

Stock - 17.8 mpg

Wait, you're getting 15.8 MPG with your setup? That seems pretty good considering how heavy those Toyos are...
