I just got my new wheels and tires put on, so I figured this would be a good time to post some pics. Info/Upgrades: - 2000 ES - 100k Miles - Kenwood 12" subs - 5% tint, except on front 2 which are 30% - True duals with Flowmaster 40 Series - Pro comp rock crawler wheels - Xenon headlights The only other things I'll most likely end up getting are running boards and fender flares, both of which will most likely be bought from a junkyard. Update: Finally got some Black Horse side steps mounted on. Bought them off ebay (mistake I guess) because it said they would specifically fit the '00 ES, but they came nowhere even close. I had to make my own brackets and drill into the frame. Pic with side steps on is in signature. The transmission was also rebuilt within the last 3k miles with a new torque converter. The radiator was also replaced, as well as the timing belt and it's components. Pics below..

When we raised it up, there seemed to be plenty of room for the duals. We just maneuvered around the spare.

Any idea where the mat for the rear cargo area came from? Mine is a generic cut-to-fit one that came with the truck, yours looks to fit much better....

So you have headers and had both pipes split at the headers? Nice! I'm selling my running boards for 130 plus shipping. Getting sliders made!

As far as maintenance, there tons I could say about that. Just keep all your fluid levels up, regular oil changes (every 5k for me using Castrol 5W-30 Full Synthetic), transmission flush every 40k or so, and change the timing belt every 60-65k and the water pump while doing the timing belt. Also, twice a month when I fill up on gas, I put in a can of B12 which helps clean out the fuel injectors and many other components, and apparently improves gas mileage. The hooks near the spare are for towing purposes. bd: Yes. Also, I bought some side steps a few months back so I no longer need those, just haven't been to this thread in a while to update. Thanks though.

Yeah, 4wheelparts is great. In my experience dealing with them, they had great customer service the entire time.
B12 is great too, it may just be me but it seems my acceleration increases as well. Anyone else get that?
