nice! i am jealous i dont have a limited cluster, so nice!

gotta fix those needles though...!
 
These are the most recent and with the fj rear springs. Suspension's been on for about 5 months now and you can see what it's settled to. These pics were taken within the last 2 months

What type and size are the new tires you put on after the Taco/FJ lift? I am looking at buying my friend's 265/70/17 BFG AT KO's on ATX Mojave teflons. Did you have any fitment/rubbing issues? Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
 
Got my passenger side exhaust manifold replaced at the dealer. Only had to pay a $100 deductible, which included a loaner car for 2 days. I purchased one of the "rip-off" extended warranties when I bought the 4Runner. Less than 1000 miles left before it expired, but they covered it! Looks like I got my money's worth this time.
 
Spare Tires

Tried to figure out the spare tire situation, but I don't seem to be having much luck. Can anyone help me??

I currently run 275/70/17s on my 03 V8. I have a stock 265/65/17 in my spare location. Does anyone know if a 275/70/17 KO2 will fit in the stock location?? I don't have the cash or time for a rear bumper at this point in my life. I do have a compressor on board, so I could air it down to make it fit. Does anyone have any guidance for me? Thanks!
 
1) I shoveled 8" of snow while my T4r sat cozy in the garage
2) I added a 3 cigarette lighter dual USB adapter (2 accessories without USB power)
3) I worked on cleaning the super glue mess on storage bin from Satelite mod
4) I cleaned up all wires for satellite radio
- I buried aux input cassette adapter wire behind HVAC controls
- I ran sat power, line out, and sat antenna through storage bin: nice and neat
5) I pulled rear sway bar bushing to confirm size
- I learned my rear sway bar is 21mm and the 17mm kit I ordered won't fit
- I stripped welded nut to sway bar mount when reinstalling old sb bushing
- I cursed loudly!!!
- I came up with a potential solution for a day after Blizzard when's shops re-open
6) I shoveled another 7" (total of 15" today) of snow with my T4r cozy in the garage.
7) I drank a beer and I plan to have more and some whiskey!!!

Ahhhh...yep...it was a good day off work!

I've got a 265 in spare tire holder now with about 1" to spare between hitch and pan hard bar. I'm planning on running 275's, but leaving the 265 as a spare. I'm hoping that if I flat the 275 it will fit. I also think a 275 will " just" fit as its about 1" taller than the 265.

Good luck

I got new led headlights 40watts with built in fan putting out 4000 lumens 6k color. Led is so much better than HID, I do not have projectors, but the best part is that there is no warm up time for full brightness. There's for LEDs on each bulb. Since the 4Runner has two different bulbs for high and low, all four LEDs come on rather than only two. The color is almost a pure white.

Pretty sure it has to be aired down. I'm not a fan of that, I don't see how it could be good for the carcass of the tire to be stored like that, so I'm saving up for a rear bumper. Probably going to have to make my own, I can't find anything I like.

I have a fully inflated 285/70/17 toyo AT, roughly 7-8/32s tread as a spare and it clears the track bar by a pinky finger and pretty much touches the hitch, but it does fit.
I had co-worker jump on hitch as hard as he could and the track bar never came in contact with the tire, it did get very close due to the arc of suspension travel.

I'm not very good with numbers lol. So with that estimation, do you think a 275/70/17 would fit. A 285/70/17 is like .75 inches bigger right? So it makes sense that a fully treaded 275/70/17 aired down a bit would fit with no problems in the tow hitch or track bar.
 
added carbon fiber 4D wrap to go with my shift knob.. I dont know if its too much or not..

EDIT: I dont know why no matter how I take a picture (landscape, upright) it comes out sideways.. its straight on my computer, then I upload it here and its sideways.. frustrating
