    Usually the vid link just embeds it...maybe... we'll see...

    And hoe-lee-shiiiiiiit. That's nuts! Did you ever see Matt's '92 that had the 37's? It wasn't as nuts as these, but it was pretty baller.

    Brian should bring one of these back from his travels.

    Ha...guilty as charged. I did consider a Taco but found a deal on the 4runner that I couldn't pass up. I love it though. And why wouldn't we be over here?...this site is huge and there's always GBs and deals going on. I'd be dumb not too :p

    Crazy Russians! I figured with tires that big, they would have floated.

    The alignment isn't that bad. I sighted mine in and it wasn't that far off. Firestone was able to adjust it in where there weren't any problems. I still want to get it done right, but my numbers are good enough until I head down to Southern Offroad.

    Not this coming week, but the next should be good for a Taco Tuesday.

    I regret not jumping on the LR uca group buy but thanksgiving and Christmas is around the corner so no biggie hopefully. John showed me a pic of his tires on your truck :drool: it took me forever to decide on a size man. I'm in on the taco Tuesday, hopefully it works with everyone's schedules.

    Yea, i'm sure there will be more GBs in the future. Of course their "normal" price is still the best i've found so you could at least get them for that later.

    Thanks, the tires looked amazing on my truck. It was the single biggest thing to date in totally changing the look of the truck. I'm seriously considering going with 295/70/17 Toyo MTs when I buy my next set...can you say overkill...but may just stick with 285/70s.

    Still on the hunt for tires myself. Probably gonna stick with something in the 32 inch range, and then I'll get a lift to match up with it.

    Yeah, not going to go above 32s due to lift costs and that it is a daily driver. Still working on saving up now. I had to throw some more $$$ into the shop again.

    you never texted back about what time and day and where. or atleast i never got it. i get paid friday morning if you want to meet up sometime. but im glad i didnt buy them cause i had to replace starter and get a new battery:eek:my old battery had 134cc amps out of 750cc amps:rolleyes: and the starter just did its own thing.

    the battery could have contributed to the starter. just saying.... ive seen a low battery burn up a starter before. or maybe it was just old and had served its time.
