    Welcome from the center of the bourbon universe. Take a look at the Pirelli Scorpion AT. I put mine on last summer and have been very happy with them.

    They do look nice. Any discernible change in fuel economy switching from the stock all seasons?

    My challenge is that I really want to replace the wheels with something black, but I think my wife would notice (it's her car ultimately)...:)

    Quick update. My wife, who has never been interested in vehicles, has decided she loves “her” 4Runner. She even let me do a little cosmetic work. Here’s the blackout work almost (need to replace the lug nuts) complete.

    yes yes yes - thank you so much. I’d been trying to figure that out. Got the emblems and the roof rails, and obviously the wheels. These are a great recommendation.

    Thanks,

    Ian

    Looks good, and I agree get those little blackout strips. What did you do for the roof rails?
    Also post a link to whatever you replace the lugs with. I need to swap mine.

    Welcome and congrats. I am a first time 4Runner owner (18 days now). But based on my research, your car will hardly be broken in 10 years from now and if you take care of it, I believe they will last for decades or ~300,000+ miles, whichever comes first. Enjoy.

    Blackout strips applied to the front trim. @Dabigono , thanks for the recommendation.
