    Be careful when buying aftermarket 16" wheels. I've heard that if the sizing isn't just right, you run the risk of hitting the brake caliper.

    If i were buying new ones id go with 17's. Seems to be more options for the bugger tires.

    @VangaSTL if youre getting rid of your stock wheels cheap let me know.

    I already sold my stockers. Was thinking of selling my TRD wheels but not for cheap. Probably $700. $650 if you give me cash today.

    I'm probably going with either SCS Ray10s or SR8s so 16" fitment shouldn't be an issue.

    Good point.

    My TRD wheels are 16s with 265/70 tire and BS is 4.5 on these I know is pretty hard to find them in Bronze.

    16 inch tires are cheaper, plus you'll have more tire and usually get a better load rating. I only moved up to a 17" due to tire size, otherwise id still have 16s

    You need bigger brakes to hit the caliper unless your buying something with barrels that are very oddly shaped (not likely), Unless you have 4runner brakes it should be a non issue.



    If anyone is interested in a set of 315/75/16s lmk, about 40% left iirc. These tires were wheeled so they have cuts but no patches and held fine when they were mounted. I don't have much of a use for them anymore

    There is a whole bank of these here but the clouds are so low you can only see the first pair. On top of the mountain.

    Mo4wd.com mixed vehicles, but heavy on the yotas.
    M.T. Schiele is a good shop; or there's always G.T.'s garage on Mod days.

    Should I spend 1200 on a sick electronic fuel set up for the Ford or redo my interior with new seats, carpet, headliner, etc?

    Ordered one of those AJT design key FOB cases for the 4Runner today as well.

    Depends how long you'll actually keep it. fuel set up seems most useful unless the interior is that bad.

    Thats a tough one. You need a new fuel setup? If not id probably do interior, its not necessary but having a nice interior for any amount of driving makes it so much better because its right there in your face the whole time. My old 4runner had this nasty steering wheel that had to have a cover over it, once I found a like new replacement steering wheel it was the best up grade I could have done

    Nah don't really need a fuel system but would need it if I want to do any more engine mods past an intake and straight pipe which I already have. And yeah it'd be nice to redo the interior as its all pretty well shot. At the very least do some upgraded seats and carpet.
