Kenda Klever RT 35x10.5r17 on FN FX pro 17x8 wheels. I'm a fan of tall skinny tires, and I have been very happy with these tires.

AJ, I have a 99 4runner that is built and heavy. It has a custom dual swing out rear bumper, custom storage / sleeping platform, sliders, roof rack and full set of skids. I have tried OME 890, 891 and now 861 coils. I love the flex they give and they carry the weight well. I would recommend them...

Nice. Glad to hear that. Again, great job on the rebuild. I love seeing these 'old' Toyotas still on the trails. Durwin

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you got El Burro on the trail! What are your thoughts on the Marlin Crawler tranny? Durwin

Nice new tires. What brand, model and size. I love 3rd gens...

X4!!

Jerry, First of all, my deepest condolences. I echo what Ace said. Second, I want to thank you for taking the time and energy to post your adventures (or journey) on here for me, so I can take a 'minute vacation' when needed. I have followed this thread closely for years and always look...

Turbo, I have read all of your trip reports and as always, great job. I really like your writing style, sense of humor and pictures. I almost always read them while at work, during lunch. They are a great mental break from the 'daily grind'. Thanks to you, I am now considering a trip to Death...

I almost installed Wheelers superbumps on my 99 4runner, but instead went with Durobumps and am so glad I did. I think the Durobumps are higher quality, better rubber, better engineered and most importantly (imo), the fronts are made with an angled bottom. That when compressed, makes full...

Turbo, as always I enjoyed your write up on the 'lying' speedo:) I took a different approach to the same problem. Like you, I'm a bit of numbers geek, and I didn't like that my speedo was so far off, and more importantly that I was 'racking up' more miles than actually driven. I also like to...

I really like those wheels and tires. And I also, like the tire size you chose. I am currently running the same size tire (on stock wheels) on my (99) 3rd gen 4runner, and I have been very happy with there performance. However, that being said, I just ordered 35's.... Lastly, the look on the...

Turbo, I love the ingenuity! What a great solution, and cheap. Also, good choice of material (MDO). Durwin

I can't wait for you to get this thing back on the trails. Let me know your impressions on the new tranny. Great job Durwin

Dan, Great build. I love your sense of humor and your trip reports. And nice maple cabinets. I'm also a woodworker, looks like very nice work. I read all of your (and Monte's) 'the de-tour' trip report. What a great adventure. Also, your Owyhee Canyon trip is my back yard. I love that...

Monte, Thanks I appreciate the info. It would be better discussed around a campfire, but this will have to do.... Thanks for the insight. I'm anal about PM. I would much rather do the repair in the comfort of my garage, then out on the trail, so I always take care of things in advance and give...

Thanks for the answer. It seems that is a fairly common failure on the 1st gen tacos and 3rd gen 4runners (what I drive). I recently replaced my LBJ's with OEM parts, just as PM. The originals looked to be in good condition, so I will have to try and find them, hopefully I didn't send them to...

Monte, Sorry I'm so late to the show. Wow! I just read the whole thing. Great write up as always. I always love reading your trip reports and seeing the AWESOME photos you take. I liked your comment about all (you, Dan and Mike) being 6 year old boys when you were driving thru the mud...

Any update? Did you find the 'perfect' tire? Thanks

No worries. Yes, please post a review once you get it on the road. And good luck 4runner is running good. I've been so busy with work, I haven't had any time to get it on the trails. I'm hoping that changes soon.

@TheCascadeKid , How is the Marlin Crawler rebuilt tranny doing? How many miles do you have on it? Are you happy and would you recommend them? Thanks and I hope your 4runner is running strong...
