Looks pretty good. What kind of springs are you on? I almost got the same wheels you have in silver, but decided to go with a 7.5 width instead. 225 tire fits much nicer that way. What kind of mpg do you get with those wheels?

Im lowered on DF210's.... rubs when i hit bumps since the wheels are flush. And to be honest i didnt notice that much difference in my mpg, until i did my CAI and throttle body spacer... then it got worse! like 24-26

I have some other MSR wheels and my MPG dropped from 25-26 to 22 mpg. Mainly stop and go, but even with a good amount of highway it stays around 22. I was thinking of adding a CAI to help the mpg, but maybe I should hold on to my money.

btw, is that the eBay TRD knockoff exhaust?

I like the sub box. Where did you get it? Does it sound good? How much was it?

Love the blacked out look.

What spacer are you running? What driving conditions are you talking about?
