argh! wil, i have to ask, are you running the american racing wheels you have on the expedition west page? are you running a spacer by chance? i had a huge amount of trouble finding steel wheels that would fit over tundra calipers, so much so that i gave up and went with more expensive...

martin, you almost have me convinced to sell my taco and go get another 4runner! :)

i had a 92 4runner, and it was a great setup for what i needed it to do. getting to the pass, hauling friends around, good stock offroad, but as needs changed, i decided i needed a truck, and it was mostly because i had too many tools to carry in the 4runner anymore. i think if you plan to...

napa seems to be slowly deteriorating before my eyes. had 1 in western wa my dad and i went to since i was little, then they changed ownership (napa stores are all privately owned, that's why some are good, some not) and were complete *******s. eventually i found another good store, but now...

sasaholic speaks the truth, doing a matrix lug stud conversion is a common cure for this http://www.hunt4steve.com/05TacoExtLn.html i did the conversion a while back, feel it was worth it, even though i was in safe range http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/tacomablackalloys.htm another option...

yeah, it is certainly something to consider, you will lose a lot of payload, that cummins with a dana 60 up front and the spicer 70 in back is a monster, and if you already did some transmission upgrades, the drivetrain should be pretty stout. just doesn't sound right to me, to see a diesel die...

wow, if it's a 4wd (not a prerunner) i wouldn't hesitate. that same truck, in any of the three west coast states would likely go for at least $16,000 or more. i hunted for a few months and never found a truck that close to what i think you've got there, with the lid on back, trd (rear elocker)...

makes me miss my 92, which was nothing at all like yours in terms of capability:p

yeah, i can honestly say i haven't felt too much in the way of pain from 285's with a manual, 4.10's and a 3.4, i just don't see how some suffer so much and others don't. i have always been down at sea level, but even the times i'm loaded down with a half a ton of tools or materials, and armor...

alexrex, this isn't the nissan section, i don't see how your opinion is even pertinent :p this isn't ttora, which is why he came to ask this question here to begin with, so be nice. i run 285's and they do just fine, they keep the balance between offroad and streetability adequately, although...

i often tell people of the reason i bought my tacoma is my little sister has had her 97 3.4 4wd since it had about 40,000 miles on it and now has around 300,000. she is someone i would call poor with maintenance. she commutes very short distances for work, so the truck rarely has a chance to...

i got a skid row front and transfer case skid to replace the stock front skid after i put about a 6 inch long slice in it. stock skid is pretty worthless, being so soft, that's why it's so easy to "readjust"

i would go belly, but that's for my tacoma with a longer wheel base, haven't hit the gas tank much. from the looks of things, i could certainly see how the 4runners are more vulnerable. a while back there was someone on ttora who had simply modified his stock gas tank skid by welding...

it is often mentioned as well, no matter what clutch you get, preferably use an oem throwout bearing.

4runners (96-02) and tacomas (95.5-04) with a 3.4l v6 are very reliable, and have respectable power balanced with a good ride. i have driven my 99 ext cab taco from seattle to alaska and back (about 6000 miles in a very round about way), as well as many many trips between seattle and san diego...

freeze, you should totally submit that for next years banff film festival! that is some awesome stuff

there are some good ones, some i don't know enough about to comment unfortunately. yota tech is good, ih8mud is great but mainly does land cruisers, custom tacos does tacomas, but is more for chrome and shiny stuff as is tundrasolutions, which mainly does tundras. it is unfortunate, ttora has...

i have a 5 speed and 285's, and from the sounds of it the other guys replying have autos. i noticed a loss of power, but it was not intolerable. i was especially worried about steep hills here, but i do okay as long as i am gentle with the clutch. a regear would be nice, but i will may be...

i have the 199's as well. anyone know the backspacing on these wheels, oem tundra steel 5 spoke? http://www.aaapart.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=1_6508_6773_6787&product_id=204231

well, my own ignorance is really to blame with this one, and it has been a costly and frustrating task. i have a 99 tacoma with tundra brakes currently housed behind 16x8 steelies that i am finding impossible to lose a front end vibe. when i bought these wheels, i had to bring in my other set...
