I call it brake pad dust color 
Nice looking wheel / tire combo

How'd you get such a wide stance? Offset? Tundra Widened stance? Those tires look huge even though not 35's.
Curious about the lift numbers. How much lift is that? Looks pretty tall. Thanks for posting.
he got that wide stance by rolling 18x9 inch methods with an 18mm offset! Looks awesome!!! More pics please!

Ah. Ya, figured it was like 20mm or something. Again...that's my only gripe with Rock Warriors. Wish they were more like 30mm instead of 50.
I don't want to fling rocks though...so just another 20mm wider would suit me fine.

Thanks everyone! Let me say both Willy Beamin and Kreiten were super helpful in helping me pick a set up. Basically I'm running the stage 5 Icon, which I haven't really even had a chance to mess with yet. I'm getting a wobble when I come to a stop, but I think I can make some adjustments. I went with the 722 OME in the rear and just had the front leveled. I really wanted to run 35's, and I am getting some 20 inch wheels next week to try but I think it will take some serious front bumper trimming. And the front bumper under side is a lot different from my previous 2009 200, so theres a good chance I'll be pulling it apart before i cut anything.

I think 34's are a nice balance.
-Great functionality and great looks without as much to fiddle with to accommodate 35's.
If I did 35's, I think I'd want to swap gears... Maybe you 35ers can chime in...
I'm curious to hear specifically WHERE your 34's are rubbing, as I'd really like to run 34's with my Rock Warriors. Very different off-set...so I'm wondering if your rubbing is due to your wide offset...or...?
Where, exactly, to they hit/rub?
A wobble when coming to a stop?
Makes me think of warped brake rotors. Curious. Can you describe the "wobble?"

I'll try to shoot some pics of where the 34's are rubbing. I removed the front mud flaps and that helps but not as much the bending the mud flap mounts back away from the tire. The back side of the front wheel wells are easily addressed, a screw driver and a hammer. Where I getting most of the rubbing is the front bottom inner wheel well and bottom edge of the front bumper while making say a 3/4 turn in either direction.
As for the wobble I think it might be the rebound set up on the icon shocks. The truck has less than 300 miles so I hope the rotors aren't warped.
I had ordered the 20 inch wheel set up from the SEMA show LC200. They should be in next week, and I'm interested in working with some other sizes. Definitely not going below a 34.
Check the top bolts on your front coil overs. Might have some play there causing the wobble.
Installed Amber lenses
Looks just like mine!

So this week I fix our rain sensor.
.....A month ago our window had a baseball size rock fall off a passing truck and smash the windshield. We were in Texas at the time travelling up to North Dakota where we now live. We didn't really have time to wait out the insurance/deductible discussion. So we had a local repair company knock it out for roughly $400...
It wasn't until it began raining on our way home that we noticed wipers weren't working. We could only go fast or warp speed with no auto-sensing variable speed. Well, the rain subsided and the freezing temps quickly set in so it was no longer an issue. Once home I pulled the sensor off to ensure the fail safe would still work, which is to turn into a manual variable wiper speed on the stalks first click down. Well, once the sensor was disconnected everything worked as advertised for the fail safe. This told me that a signal was coming from the sensor and that it was most likely still functional. It wasn't until I looked at the parts breakdown diagram online and saw a piece of "tape" with the sensor suite. So I looked at the sensor off the truck and Bam! nothing on it, no tape. So I ordered and applied the tape to the sensor carefully working out all bubbles both on the sensor and the windshild. The tape is a thick gel like substance. Once installed and no air bubbles present the sensor is now back working.
Moral of the story is ensure everything is installed and functioning correcting before leaving.

Good to know! Thanks CLHickman!
So if I am understanding this correctly if I unplug the sensor and pull down the wiper controller one notch it can be used as a traditional intermittent wiper? Then use the scroller for the intermittent function? Personally I don't like the auto sensor as it is not consistent.
Cody, that is correct. It is very easy to just disconnect the sensor and leave the unit alone. There is a slide out on the bottom of the unit. Just get your nails into the left and right of the side and pull/sea-saw it out. It doesn't come out fully, just enough to no longer secure it to the metal housing glued to the windshield. You can then pull the plastic cladding off, revealing the sensor and the cable. Just unplug the cable completely and you can reattach the cladding. After you do that you will have full manual intermittent functionality.
*EDIT* As far as consistency, take a look to see if there are any air bubbles on the windshield or the sensor. A lot of the inconsistencies come from the sensor not having enough surface area to "see" the rain and so it doesn't make the determination to increase the rate of the wiper. Just my thoughts.

Awesome thank you! My problem with the auto sensor is that it goes bananas with light rain... wishing I could manually adjust to slow intermittent. I have adjusted the scroller to the lightest mode but still goes super fast. Otherwise I use the slow on mode or just push up and manually wipe when needed. I will try this.
