The Build Thread of my Rocky !!!

Picked up a set of Konig Counter Steer X Type, set of their wheel weights, and wheel locks from [MENTION=85422]FNWheels[/MENTION] and since I just back to work. I didnt want to buy new tires. Wanted to wait to get the tires after I get the rig lifted.

So I went to allen tire to have the stock tpms and stock tires swapped over.

So I was interested in the weight difference. I did notice when I stacked the boxes of my stock wheels and the box with my 5th wheel ( when I get my rear tire carrier. ) that the stock wheels were alot heavier than the konigs...

And soo I zero'ed my scale with an empty box and then place the konigs wheel inside of the box and re-weighted the box with wheel inside of it ...

and heres the stock wheel inside the box as well..

9lbs weight savings per wheel on the Konig versus the stock... Drivability it does feel ligther or easier to steer...

very happy !!!!
 
Cool build! Ive been contemplating getting a magnaflow muffler as well. I have always upgraded my exhaust systems on my previous cars but I want something more soft with the 4Runner. I'll watch your videos later when I can hear them better.

I was dreaming bigon this thread:
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/180883-dreaming-big-icon-stage-7-a.html


Then Came along [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION], first hooked me up with some awesome pricing on thw weathertech visors. And service was top notch and shipping took only 2 days...

And then he offer great service and pricing ... I just couldnt pass up the deal. So I ordered my Icon STAGE 7 w/ tubular A arms, upgraded overland rear springs, a spanner wrench, and the A arm caps...

As I was impatiently waiting for Brown to deliver today ( BROWN hates me ... with a passion. Always last on the list ) ... I gave up at about 4:00pm and started getting ready for work. Came out to my car this pulled up :

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the stage seven? I wanted to get the stage 2 or 3 but the prices vary differently from other companies.
