    Is that pic taken at the Toyota dealer? Did you have them do the lift install?

    A buddy and I did the lift install at his house 2 weeks ago. Took us about 5-6 working "comfortably" with a nice lunch and many cig breaks in between. Air tools, a little know-how (not me, my friend...I don't know shit when it comes to working on stuff), and some elbow grease made for a fairly easy and straight-forward install.

    I had a friend do the mount/balance on the wheels/tires at the dealer on Thursday afternoon. Just got back from the same dealer (Antwerpen Toyota) for an alignment. The tech was familiar with the LR UCAs and their adjustability. He was able to dial it in. She's riding good now!

    That's a blower! I called a local offroad shop who advertises as being familiar with aligning lifted applications. They quoted me $150. Fortunately, I was able to pay significantly less at the dealer through the know-somebody-that-knows-somebody network.

    They are 16x8.5, -6 offset which is a 4.5 inch backspace. They clear the calipers easily and accept the factory TPMS sensors perfectly. I got them through discount tire direct, funny story...

    I had been checking them out on discount's site for some time and when I finally went to bite the bullet and order, the -6 offset wheels were no longer listed, only the positive 18s were (which is like 5.something backspace). I called discount to see if they had any in stock. The rep said they had one set left in stock in Ohio AND he would give me $40 off, right off the bat. In lieu of the $40 discount, I asked for lug nuts (listed at like $45 extra). The rep said it would be no problem. The wheels and lugnuts arrived in like 2-3 days and everything fit perfectly. Highly recommend discount tire direct, great service!

    I believe the brand is Hunter. I bought it off EBAY from Truck Gear Direct.
    I had black in my mind since I wanted the silver but now it looks even better on the MGM. Badges are next, just for the side. Im not keeping the rear ones. I already have the wheels picked out which will be going on soon with a 3" lift.

    Got super stuck and made it out! So thankful for 4 wheel drive. I would have been in a bind with my 2007 Prerunner!
