New 4Runner - Lift, Wheels, Tires

Thanks, I'll give it a shot....I see you have Guard Dogs, I used a set of them on this truck too, they ride nice but have a pretty good hum to them....they are not quiet. I had a set of Guard Dogs on another truck, but didn't remember them being so noisy. They did balance good and are very smooth, it's my sons truck and he thinks the noise is cool...lol
They are a great tire for what they are. As for the noise, I know that any aggressive tire is going to be as loud or louder than these so it doesn't bother me.

Funny thing, I had the alignment done today and drove a 100 or so miles on these brand new tires, the humming has decreased 10 fold, it is now what I remembered them being on my other truck.....acceptable now, my wife even noticed how quiet they got, not sure why but glad they quieted down. The guy said the alignment/tow was really bad, like 1.3 degrees off/inward which may have caused the bad humming, not sure.

Makes sense. If the tires weren't contacting the road properly, I could see that causing extra noise or at least a different noise.

Yeah, that must have been the issue as they are normal now, sound like a big mud tire, nothing more or less.

One thing I have noticed is these lifted 4runners get a lot of attention where I live, already had a few guys ask me about it and the neck bending around town is surprising.....It is a good looking rig though, no doubt they are striking.

Lifted toyotas are really common here in British Columbia but the lifted 3rd gens are still pretty rare. Besides the people I know through the local clubs, I rarely to never see nicely built 3rd gens driving around.
 
I rarely see lifted 3rd gen 4Runners anywhere but on the forum.

Yeah the older toyotas, particularly the pick ups, are a lot more common to see lifted. Seeing a third gen that is doing something other than dropping off the kids or running groceries is a big deal!
 
Lot's of lifted 3rd gens in CO, fun to be one of them now. I still haven't checked to see if we have a trail running forum but it would be fun to meet some of you.
