Thats cheaper than what I found for new OEM ($172 a piece) But I am just gonna go out there and bull$hit them to death. Tell them I know they're making money and yada yada. They make their money on motor and transmissions mostly.....and the rest of those parts....they can be more flexible on price (And you know I tell them this) I know a few Honda Recycle owners (yes I'm a Honda Gear Head) and many have relatives that have their own shop too. Gonna hit them up first and see if they got Toyota connections

I am more focused on a new Double Din Head Unit. Navigation head units are stupid high $$$. 7" Pioneer.....ouch. But I can spend 1/3 the money for a double din that doesn't have GPS but still has Bluetooth, i-Pod controls (including movies....I got a 160G Classic). DVD, MP3, etc. I would only use the GPS 4-5 times a year (but I would really like it in those moments).

So I can't find much for 4Runners (at local dismantlers) when I made a bunch of calls. No Sport Hoods or 06+ tail lights.

But I did find someone close selling 17 alloy '07 SR5 wheels. So I might be buying them. But I then need new tires (one in good condition). From what I have found out and know:

17in Alloys have 265 65 R17 tires (stock)

My stock height 2WD V8 (not sure if 2WD is lower)

I am wondering if i could get away with 275 60 R17 tires??? I am worried it would rub on the upper control arm or....??? I got on a tire calculator site and the tire difference if I went 275 60 is below

0.39" wider tread
0.57" Smaller Diameter (12.9 additional revs/mile)

Edit: Also thinking about 265 70 R17 tires but the tire calculator says its 3.17% larger diameter and says no more than 3% difference or you risk brake failure.....no too sure about that. I know lots of you guys run taller tires for sure.
