Looks great! I really like the rack and those Hankooks are tempting! :drool:

I've heard good things about the Hankooks!

Nice tires though seemingly sissy size, but I will be jealous of your mpg gain.

Looks awesome Kevin! IMO, those wheels look a lot better than the black ones you had!

Haha sissy size! I just choose not to follow the flock, although it's not uncommon on here :elkgrin:. They are skinny, but they're heavy **********...45-49 lbs each
.Thanks for the comments guys and gals, it is amazing how some new shoes can dress up an outfit. You sell your 4runner already wmflyfisher?? Saw the new truck though, yum!

Yep news wheels rock smaller tires no problem in my book, but for weight my SSR's in a 285 laced up to the Limited wheels tipped the shipping scale near 80lbs, and when you went to stop you knew it. I have already determined I could have a set shipped to my door off ebay for a darn good price as MT's go, lemme know how you like em.

Ohhh but you know my brother had the Nitto's in a load E and really couldn't tell a whole heck of allot of difference other than weight I guess. It was on his 06 Taco double cab and it must be something to do with the 17" rims that the manufacturers made an E.

Yea they are E rated, but i'm pretty sure the sidewall is still only 2 plies. When aired down and pushing on the rubber it still feels pretty flexible, so I'm not too worried about stiffness, i'll post back when I get a chance to encounter some rocks with them.

80 lbs is up there alright. My 255/85 Bighorns on Stock 16x7 alloys was 75 lbs. I have a set of 4.56's sitting in the garage, but don't really feel like dealing with regearing this rig. Hoping for the 4.30's to pull their weight a little more

Should almost be a non-issue with the 32's and the V-6 but it seems as there is always something else to be desired. I'd say pull it apart and drop your chunks off to have it done but unless you have another car it might take a bit not to mention the front is an absolute mess to tear into.

I never get an invite out to the infamously treacherous Susanville area, so what's it to ya
. It actually was wide open throttle a lot of the way up it...I was pretty disappointed in the stupid auto tranny. I'd love to swap it out for a manual when it eventually kicks the bucket, but it's got all that fancy AWD stuff built into it..
