I would have let all the air out of all four tires to start with on that Mazda, though parking line such in DC occurs quite often.

Reminds me one time I walked out of Petmart and a '14 Limited 4Runner was touching my grille guard. No damage either way and didn't see the owner I was just like wtf and left.
 
Just hung out with the neighbours taco

Could anybody tell me what this patch is on my door? Original owners since 99 and it came from the factory like this. Both doors have it

Even though Im 3000 miles away from my runner, my brother and dad sent me these pics. They used it to tow my brothers boat they just built, and mount the motors.
My brother said the runner tows it better then his Dodge dually :lol: One more month and I'll be home to see my runner and use the boat!

Removed OEM radio and amp, installed JVC KD-X330BTS media player and a used Cobra 18 WX ST II ($34 on eBay) under it. Getting 1:1 SWR on Ch20 and 1.8:1 on 1 and 40 with Little Wil that's mounted on the roof. Good enough!
 
Installed Wheel Spacers today! As much as I love my narrow tires, sometimes I feel a bit inferior to the rest of you. I saw these posted on here and had some pretty good reviews.

4 PC Toyota 1 25" Thick Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Tacoma Tundra 4 Runner Black | eBay

They arrived pretty quick and packed very well.

Mounted on the Rear. I didn't get a pic of the front, but our studs are 1/4" shorter on the front. They look pretty short with the spacers mounted, but I counted the threads as I screwed it on and I hit 5 or 6 just with my fingers. Then hit it with the air gun, and then the torque wrench. Should be fine, but I think I would like to upgrade to longer studs in the future.

After a quick drive, I feel it's a lot more stable as I take sharp corners (like pulling out onto a highway). Along with that, it drives better down the highway (due to the ruts in the roads) I think. Not positive on that, just yet.

Also, I'm pretty sure they added 10hp to my truck! And that's at each wheel, so a total of 40HP!!! :jump:

Really NICE!

I'd love to pick a set up as well.

Can you tell me what, if any, risks there are running these? Would they put added stress/stain on the LBJ?

Thanks!!!!

Again, looks good!
 
Here is my new to me 2000 4x4 SR5 w/146,000 miles!

Been tinkering with her over the past few days.

Threw my nationality plate on, worked the lights in, and painted the center hub caps black.

Next in the list is replacing the front and rear sway bar bushings!

Got my welder set back up with a magnetic ground and finished the slider mounting since I gummed up the tip the other day. Got the tires back under it and drive around the lot at my shop a bit. Can't wait to drive it for real.
