    No BMC, no rubbing on the body mount.

    I think it tracks well. It definitely will guide towards the contours of the road. But my GF hasn't complained about highway driving besides that it is slow AF lol.

    I just did 285s back in January on stock ORP wheels so i’m not necessarily ready for a new wheel/tire setup. Next round of tires I think I might try your setup.

    haha idk if slow is the way to describe it. I will probably tune mine come the new year.

    I am definitely going to tune mine, hopefully by the end of the year. She loves to go 90+ on the highway, which ol Ruby doesn't like to do. So she complains how slow she is lol. I cruise just fine.

    I haven't done much to 'ol Ruby besides throw a massive amount of money at the loan. Decided to stop modding and put all the money towards having no note. Once she is paid off, mods will resume. Did get a trailer so we can base camp and not have to camp out of Ruby all of the time.

    Your 4 runner is beautiful! I just got a 2016 as well but it’s silver, I really wanted a red one but I still love my runner. I noticed your 4Runner has a really faded black rubber piece on top of the bumper (sorry I don’t know the official name of the part) mine has the same problem but only worse, it’s not a big deal but to me it looks bad. I’ve tried several black restoring products so far none of them have worked it looks like the rubber just absorbs it and it turns back to the faded look in about a day.
