Pics of New Lift, Weels & Tires, and More

[dheeter]

I finally got my lift installed so i could put the new wheels and tires on. I have never posted pics of my rig so here is everything that is installed. Its a 3/1.5 Toytec spacer lift, with 275/70/18 Toyo Mud Terrains (33.6x11), and 18x8.5 KMC XD Series Spy Wheels. I have the front windows tinted 20% and the windshield tinted to 50%. The pic is not very good of the HID's but they are 6000k and are a light blue color. The tail lights are tinted, running boards removed, and Toyota was shaved off the back. I also replaced the chrome grille with the limited one. The exhaust is a custom dual system with a magnaflow muffler.

I still have not installed the Toyota skid plate, I am waiting for it to get powder coated. I am also getting a black powdercoated billet grille. As well as all emblems and the headlights blacked out.

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions. Thanks

Thanks, yeah my last truck was black. I loved it when it was clean, but hated it when it was dirty. I just couldnt do the black again, I couldnt be happier with the color choice.

Looks great!!

I am thinking about doing something like this to my 2005 whiter sport v8 4X4.

Do you have any tire rub?
What is the offset on the rims?

Thanks, at full crank it barely rubs on the upper control arm, but it took some trimming to make them fit. The rims are a +18mm offset. I had the spidertrax to push them out further, but it required more trimming than I wanted.

Wow, looks great!! Love the white!

Bro, that dual exhaust is sick. Where did you get it and how much did it cost? It looks bad ass!

Thank you. Its custom, I got the muffler online and had a shop in Idaho install it. All together it was just under $300. I got a pretty good deal on it. It pays to do research.

Incredible looking 4Runner. Love the exhaust system.

Sweet rig man! You're ride is what I've been trying to plan on doing to mine; ~33's, 18" Black wheels.

Quick ques, how are those Toyo MT's on the road? Noisy or not too bad?

They are the best tire I have ever owned. This is my second set of them and I would recommend them to anyone. They are by far the quietest mud tire I have had experience with. They balance very well and if rotated and maintained properly can last for 50k miles. They are expensive but definatley worth it in my opinion.

mike, also pay very close attention to backspacing and offset. Even with a fair amount of trimming 33's barely fit.

By far, you have the nicest looking 06-08 4Runner I have seen yet!

Thanks.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next, other than what is in my sig?

Also when I read the post it just shows the link for the pictures, not the actual pictures themselves. Does everyone else see the pictures in my original post, or did I do something wrong? This is the first time I have posted pics.

Thanks again for all the complements.

Was the muffler designed for the 4runner or did you just custom everything on the exhaust system? And does a custom exhaust system negate the warranty?

It is a universal muffler, all the piping is custom bent and made to fit. I don't see why it would affect the warranty any differently than any other exhaust.

Can't quite tell from your pics, but as it sits right now, how close do the tires come from the edge of the fenders? I'm thinking right now I'm going to shooting for a wheel that has a 4.5" backspace to it.

Cant remember exactly what the backspacing is, but its an 8.5" wide wheel with a +18mm offset. Any more offset in the positive direction and you will hit the upper control arm pretty badly, and the less you go the more you will have to trim. I had to trim the bottom lip of the painted bumper. I had the spidertrax but couldnt use them because there was no way in hell they were going to fit. These tires are 33.6" I would not recommend going above 33", but either way you will have to trim.
