BEFORE AND AFTER

good looking runner

[slice4653]

thanks i cant wait to get duals in it right now im running a single 4.7 and to be honest i love it i just miss the stock low for the smooth section of the trails.

Not much...  AAL instead of blocks(not sure which is worse), 33" KM2, bumpers, stripped aluminum plates.

Here's the latest "upgrade" for the family mall crawler.  It's amazing how much better 265/70/17 tires look compared to the stock 265/65/17 tires.  It doesn't hurt to go from worn out to new either.  The new size is listed as 31.7 inches diameter.

Why I do business with Discount Tire - Not only do they match prices to make sure you get a fair deal, but today when I inquired about a tread warranty since I was sitting on the wear bars a little early they showed me the actual wear bars and showed me that a little bit of tread was left.  What surprised me was when they offered to give me a little bit of trade-in value on the old tires to make it a better deal today.  I wanted to purchase this month to get the $80 main in rebate, but the knocked another $50 off the top for the trade-in.  At least the local Discount Tire has always treated me fairly and today they put the tires on in about 35 minutes.  I think it took almost an entire hour last time.  When I purchase tires from Goodyear it took nearly four hours to get the truck back...

It's funny looking through this thread and seeing a common trend in the "before" pics: ugly-ass light bars.  

My pile had them too... for about a day:


Then it was all better:


...then the engine pooped a bearing so this is the final "after" pic:


Time to build a 4Runner...
