Post your LIFTED pix here!

Looks nice man! How's the ride at 2.5?

Didn't finish up until midnight last night...so I haven't had much opportunity to drive around. That being said, other than a jacked up alignment causing a little wandering to the right and slightly loose steering, I love it. The truck is so much more solid and stable on bumps of all sizes. The first thing my wife noticed was how solid the truck was when she stepped up on the nerf bars. I don't have anything to compare it too other than the squishy stock suspension, but for less than $400 and for my day to day use of the vehicle, I couldn't be happier.

I am officially the only lifted 5th gen in Roanoke, VA!

Nice ride.

You may want to re-think your tire PSI. How the tires lay when not moving is not the criteria for PSI. Unless there is something about these tires I don't know, 26/24 is too low. Having your pressures that low will cause more flex in the sidewall as the tire rotates. More flex equals more heat and can lead to blowouts and tread separation. I'd bet that on cornering your front tires are rolling over onto their sidewall (you can test this with chalk or a grease pencil drawing a line on your sidewall then driving and see whats left). As well, these low tire pressures are probably costing you a couple MPG. Just my 2 cents. They are your tires, run them how you like them.

if i drove corners like a nascar driver, yes the tires would roll over. i will absolutely not take a corner fast. in another thread where i told about gas mileage i use the pretend coke in the back method. i dont take turns fast, i dont accelerate fast, never have never will. i have these tires and wheels on both my tacoma and my 4R. i run 24psi Front and 22psi Rear on the truck, and have been doing so about 40,000 miles with perfect wear, perfect tracking, and a perfectly flat tread pattern. i have about 10k on the 4R with this setup. although its not perfect practice, as my tire guy at the local dealership says i need 40psi in them, i just dont agree. sorry. yes i know a lower tire pressure hurts fuel mileage, and creates sidewall heat, but it has not been deemed unsafe for this tire as of yet. i average 18+mpg so no complaints here.

before i bought these tires to fit the limited wheels on my truck over a year ago, i went thru all the threads all the way back to 2010 on this forum that had anything to do with these tires and these wheels. there are about 10 people running this setup, and about 500 people that dont agree with it. i know this wheel is too narrow, read every post about it, read every tire persons complaint about how to measure rim width, how wide the wheel needed to be to fit this tire ect. i know its not the perfect match up but i can assure you it works.

going outside now to take pix of tires. front and rear are perfectly flat across the tread, the sides are not rolled over the edges, i dont take turns fast enough just to try and protect the tread pattern and not make it have a roll.

i know when you take corners fast like this pix, the tire on the outisdeof the corner has a certain amount of roll.

thats why i dont drive a lifted vehicle like i am in a nascar race. and my tread pattern stays flat.

making a 11.3" wide tire fit nicely on a 7" wide rim is not exactly "good" tire practice, i know alot of people dont agree with this particular setup. with 35psi, the tire is only touching the ground on about 6" of the treads pattern. the tire is bulged up in the middle like a balloon. my plans are to widen the wheel an inch. this is a long term plan, i will probably do it when the tires wear out, but i do definitely plan on widening the wheels on both vehicles an inch. this should make the tires much flatter across the tread

Finally got around to putting a lift on it. Work done by High Tech Auto and Truck Center (DUCMONSTA's Garage). Would highly recommend them. Very responsive/Great advice/customer service/prices. Thanks Bobby!

Here's what's been done so far:
1) Installed ICON Stage II with Light Racing UCA's.
2) 20" Ultra Gauntlets...285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers (DUCMONSTA did the Wheel well mod so there is no rubbing).
3) Deleted the OEM running boards (Yeah, this made a huge difference in appearance)
Next mod will be the Satoshi Grill and Nfab Nerf Bar.

Trucks looking very good! What is your offset on gauntlets. I have them too, love them. My setup is 275/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler. I guess you not gonna do a lot of off roading.
 
Finally got her some new shoes!

Hi All!

I bought my 2011 4Runner new, but told myself I'd wait until my stock tires wore out to get new ones - and they FINALLY did! I'm new to the forum, but have been a 4Runner lover forever. I'm just glad I finally have a picture to post, since I've been envious of you all for so long! I hope to have more additions coming soon, but for now, here she is :)
