I ran it 24hrs without the wind deflector and it HOWLED above 35-40mph. Installed the wind deflector and now I would almost swear it is more quiet with the sunroof open than it was stock.

I installed Bilstein 5100’s (set to 1.75” of lift) all the way around and 1.5” Daystar rear spacers. 285/70/17 KO2’s will get thrown on Monday.

Interested to hear if you have any rubbing issues. I have that exact same suspension setup as you and am undecided on 285s/265s.

Did a quick LED conversion. Only thing left is the front exterior. Next up is wash and wax when the weather cooperates.

He'll rub the front bumper and need a fender liner mod. You'll rub there no matter what you do. Buy the correct wheels and you'll have little to no problems. People that have to do excessive cutting are running the wrong wheels, it's that simple.

Finally got around to installing my new TRD PRo Skid, Grey TRD PRo Wheels, and some General Grabber AT/Xs in 265/70/17. I guess since I have not posted here in some time, my newish hitch mount and Toyota LED Fog lights. She is coming along nicely. More mods coming... once my wallet recovers.

How are you liking the new tires, dry/wet driving conditions/road noise etc...? I'm close to replacing the tires on my wife's 4runner and have been considering these tires.
I just replaced my interior & reverse lights with LEDs. lost a bulb in the passenger side housing. started the license plate lights but the screws were rusted. I'll get replacement screws and mess with them when I have more daylight.

So far their wet/dry performance has been stellar. I have not been able to test hydroplaning performance yet, but they are solid. I do have a slight vibration at highway speeds 60-80 and needed a rebalance and re-alignment, but they are great tires so far. They do transmit road imperfections more than the Bridgestone Duelers, but that was all they were good for. I was initially at 35 PSI but dropped down to 33 to absorb more of the road imperfections. It was a toss up between these and Falken Wildpeak AT3s but the Falkens were a special order. So I chose what was in stock.
What sliders are you running? The are so stealthy
How long did you wait for your order to arrive?
