    2010 Toyota 4runner Limited
    Dobinsons springs w/Bilstein shocks/struts/UC's, 4:56 gears, ARB air lockers front & rear, 12,000lb winch, rear bumper, OTT tune, Method wheels, 255/80/17, interior molle panels, frame mount sliders.
    So I bought this 2010 Limited, one owner, all stock, serviced at the dealer, 120,000 miles. In 10 months I have lifted it, interior molle panels, trimmed front bumper, added a 12,000lb winch, added an aftermarket rear bumper, frame mounted sliders, 1.75 DOM, .120 walls, 4:56 gears with ARB air lockers front and rear, Method wheels w/ 285's. And got the OTT tune! I was a Jeep guy, but I'm digging this Yota!![​IMG]

    I use the roof rack, so would not want to remove it. . . I love the 4:56's, I'm running 285/70/17 but when I buy new tires I'm going to go with 255/80/17.
