I believe they are the same as robs spec wise. Can fit 285's without spacers.

 

I like these wheels from the new 4Runners

 

Just passed a MGM access cab with a lift, black wheels and big ol tires on 125 in North Andover. Is that anyone? I didn't see any stickers or anything

 

Vids from my phone .

John, they should be 4.75" 16x7

 

I think they are 4.5"

 

I agree, i think they would look sweet powdercoated black

 

Nice!

 

Did you figure out the go pro. I want to see those.

 

Hey John. I recently noticed a clanking noise from the front left every time I go over a decent size bump/pothole. Almost like something rattling around.

Also noticed it on Friday when I turned hard right into a driveway - nice little clunk. Any ideas?

 

Make sure your LCA bolts are tight and that the bushings are still good.

 

Thanks, is it pretty obvious when the LCA bushings go?

 

LCA bushings, TRE or tie rods, ball joints check all. It's one of them. It is a pop clunk when turning at a complete stop its a ball joint or TRE. if your moving and it making the noise check sway bar links and bushings

 

Do this first vv

Mike what did you pay for the bushing install we did that day. I think I've narrowed my noise down to the drivers side lca bushing . Trying figure out what difference in price is between just the parts or new lca

 

It depends on how bad they are. I saw someone take a gopro video of the LCA bushings while they were in the truck turning the wheel. Her bushings were completely shot and you could very readily tell in the video. She had the same complaints, a clunking noise when going over bumps and while turning.

I had my truck aligned last year and the shop didn't tighten the bolts enough and I got a clunking noise like you described also. My bushings were brand new at the time.

If you can, jack up the front end and try to shake the wheel to see if you can replicate the noise or see if any of the ball joints, bushings or tie rod ends have any play in them.

 

LOL, you having a similar problem? Do I see a mod day in the very near future?

 

I paid for pizza and beer for the install

Depending on what you need, here's the complete parts list for the LCA bushings/bolts/nuts/cams:
4865504020 BUSH, LWR ARM, NO.2 2 EA @ $50.27/ea
4865404040 BUSH, LWR ARM 2EA @ $41.72/ea
4819860011 CAM, CAMBER ADJUST 2 EA @ $10.28/ea
4819060020 CAM ASSY, CAMBER ADJ 2 EA @ $10.69/ea
90178A0013 NUT, FLANGE 4EA @ $1.06/ea

These parts below I didn't get pricing on, Camelback Toyota screwed up the order. The front and rear LCA connections aren't the same but Camelback originally sent me 4 of the same setup. They corrected the problem but I don't know what these parts cost:
4840960020 2EA
4845235030 2 EA
90119-A0166 2 EA

Total for all that was around $260 shipped to my house and that's for both sides. I was able to reuse some of the hardware but, as you know, most of it had to be cut off. I'll find the price breakdown, give me a minute.

EDIT: Pricing added.

The whole LCA is around $260ish/side and comes with new bushings and ball joints. The problem is, if your hardware is rusted in place and needs to get cut out, you still have to buy all the hardware to the tune of $50-60/side.

 

Ill try and fix them tonight and get them up, i downloaded them to my wifes mac and they opened in iphoto, i guess i have to go through and convert them or something

 

Interesting. Now what are the options outside of stock Anything worth looking at?
