Wow this thread needs an update! Bumping to remind me to ad pics shortly...

Love the 4R!! Is it an 85' or a SFA swap? What suspension are you running? Thanks for sharing.

Having owned a 2nd Gen, several 3rd Gens, and now a 4th Gen.... I would say go 3rd or 4th depending on your uses. The 3rd gen is smaller and more nimble but has a ton of aftermarket support. Great if your looking to build something for more technical trails. The 4th gen has the V8 option which...

Haven't posted over in these parts in some time. Been out enjoying the truck a fair bit as of late! _08I3616.jpg by Addison Rickaby, on Flickr

Not that this is necessarily your issue but I used to run Goodyear MT/R Kevlars on my 80 Series. I too chased down vibrations for over a year - had a double cardon front shaft installed, swapped out wheels, had various balances done, rebuilt rear driveshaft, etc. Ended up being the Goodyears and...

Holy cow! So happy you both are ok. That is incredible and seems very unlikely that it would happen to you both at once. I had the exact same thing happen to me while in Moab. Loose caliper and some minor wheel damage like you... but luckily caught it before anything crazy happened...

Tundra owner no more... but miss & loved my old one: The Legend of Doug I'd highly recommend a visit to Archive Garage if your looking for rear suspension options. I was running the earliest prototype Deaver leaf pack Eric (Archive Garage) and Deaver were in co-development with when I sold my...

I can;t believe I missed this!!! uuuuggghhhh

Truck looks great with the new wheels! Black/Bronze with the yellow fogs is a great combo. Following along and missing my old Tundy...

Tuning into all these cool old pickup build threads on here. Seems like you have gone through quite the rollcoaster with you truck and I applaud you for sticking with it through all the setbacks. You have a very cool and unique setup, and the stories to go with it. I just picked up a 85' SR5...

Awesome old truck! 3.4 swap is huge alone in the driveability department, and then you went and added a S/C... I bet its awesome! I actually just picked up a 85' SR5 5speed w/22RE. Gunna drive it for a couple years as-is but am planning on going the 1UZ swap route when the time is right. Keep...

Great build with proper execution. The full size life has many appeals - following along closely and stoked to see this thing with a GFC!!

Uh oh... just added another Toyota to the mix. Drove it from Texas to Canada in 5 days. Write-up to come!

UPDATE I have been terrible for updates lately. For some reason I have been getting a lot of questions about tires so I finally was able to sit down and write out some thoughts for a 2017 summer project that really has flown under the radar. Some backstory... The world is evolving at a rapid...

Another happy customer here with my aluminum hoopless setup: _08I8442.jpg by Addison Rickaby, on Flickr

Right above the Balfour ferry basically. When in August? This is officially boating season (lol) due to the frequent wildfire bans, high temps, and copious amount of road dust - typically I try to spend most of August soaking up the sun and enjoying Kootenay Lake. I'd say there is a very high...

A couple snaps from this weekend. More pics in my build thread. _08I8434.jpg by Addison Rickaby, on Flickr _08I8495.jpg by Addison Rickaby, on Flickr

Thanks for taking the time to check out my thread! You have one on here for the Subie!? Yes, always down for a pint. The requirements will vary slightly each year depending on the route. However a safe bet is 33" tires, sliders, front & rear frame mounted recovery points, and above all else -...

From someone who camps frequently in the remote high alpine, having a rifle on hand is definitely not a bad idea. Just from a safety perspective.... last year alone I ran into more grizzly's on the trail than I have ever before. Hopefully I'll never have to use it for that purpose but it's there...

Yah the hut network up here is CRAZY. There are so many off the radar ones but definitely the most epic are ones like the Conraid Kain Hut. So many people don't think twice about flying drones in certain areas. To be clear, I wasn't trying to grind you for doing something illegal... it's just...
