    The reason why I ask is because there is a lot more labor involved with replacing the aluminum core. You will have to look at the condition of yours.

    Anyone want some running boards for a 2nd gen double cab? They are Westin platinum ovals in black. I'll be in the DSM area this weekend. Just want to get rid of them really. 50 bucks sound fair?

    Anyone know anything about threadwright tires ? price is good for as aggressive of a tire they offer. However, I think I heard there was problems with alignments? Not that my local shop knows how to align anything ..

    I would never buy those turds. I've heard tons of horror stories. I would look at the Kenda Klever for cheap mud terrains.

    Buy some used off Craigslist then. Mud terrains suck in winter so maybe get all terrains for winter and upgrade later.

    I wouldn't buy the Treadwrights for a daily either. Trailered toy, sure why not. The Kendas I would do your research. I have read they are even harder to balance than a typical mud tire and yes, I would bet they suck in the winter for hardpack.

    I have a weathered set of 01-04 Taco wheels I am going to throw some COOPER DISCOVERER M+S tires on for this winter. I haven't decided if I will stud them or not but I do know that am going to go LT245/75R16 C. If you keep your ABS enabled on your 4Runner you will find out how bad the tires are and the archaic ABS system is.
