    They're 16x7s. By all accounts I've read and have been told by esteemed members here, they will clear the Tundy calipers just fine.

    And speaking of... I'm going to be picking up my 3rd gen 4runner limited wheels today from the media blaster. One step closer to a better wheel/tire set up on my truck.

    Right on. Thanks :thumbsup:

    So, now to start looking for a set of them. I'd like to grab some to run smaller all terrains (for daily) so I can run more aggressive tires on my main wheels.

    Well you bought amsoil so should have just bought the stuff in the bag not the bottle. Easy to squeeze in that way.

    Yes. the 16s will.

    I was lucky. Found a true set for $40 on CL.

    Anyone have an ideas on fixing cruise control, or seen any good threads on it?

    Green light comes on on the dash.
    Confirmed the clutch switch is pressed in all the way.
    Seemingly all related fuses have been checked.

    I'm stumped.

    You test the switch itself? Might be bad. Brake switch too.

    Well if you find a single one, let me know. I'm looking for a 5th. Which is seemingly impossible to find one wheel, not being sold as a set of 4.

    Mine was the tail lights. Slightest of shorts that made the cruise think the brake was being applied.

    When you said "Confirmed the clutch switch is pressed in all the way." do you mean the botton that gets pressed when the clutch pedal is all the way up?

    Haven't checked it, but the on/off button clearly works if the light is coming on. :notsure:

    Hmm, how did you figure that one out?

    Correct. I crawled under there and see that the switch is fully depressed. I long since swapped in a brake pedal spring and that seems to hold the pedal up pretty tight.

    Doesn't matter if the light comes on. The switches on the pedals are cancel switches. So if you tap the break the CC cancels. Same with the clutch. If the switches are failed are passing signal because they are stuck "open" then you can't set the CC.

    Should be able to just test it with a continuity meter.

    Ah, I thought you meant the switch on the steering wheel. Yeah, I should check those.

    just put 500 dollars down on a new canopy from Big Sky Toppers in Bozeman. should be there in mid august which is perfect cause that's when i'm moving. went with a CX classic and got vented windoors, a fold down front slider, a headliner (free on a promotion this month), a single rear t-lock, and a Yakima roof rack system. now i've just got to earn some more money and get my old cap sold to soften the blow. anyone interested? this is how it'll (hopefully) look, + a roof rack.
