Burzon's 2004 4Runner SE (V6) Overland Build

[MBurzon]

I spent a total of two weeks in Moab, and would consider it the pinnacle of the trip. Adam and I came up with this back door entrance to White Wash Sand Dunes which was without question the coolest overland route I've ever been on! Made a few new friends as well.

Can't leave out Ouray and Telluride! :smiley_drive: We did Black Bear pass in a drizzle...freaked me right out... haha

I had a chance to drive Tin Cup as well as the route through the Rocky Mountain National Forest (a challenge at altitude with my V6 and a camper in tow...we DID IT THOUGH!)

Love your rig, friend! I have a 2003 SR5 V8 i'd love to build up.

I just came across your thread and I have to say. I'm enjoying what you're putting down. How did those steelies work out for you? I've been contemplating doing something similar.

I enjoyed reading your thread and your adventures. I'm building my rig right now and can't wait to hit the trails later this winter!

Do you think you can still run a wider tire with the steelies? I really want to run a 285/70/17 with those similar wheels.

Awesome build and jealous of all the locations you've hit. Stoked to see more of your travels!

Thank you for the complement. The steelies we're ok. I didn't love the look and they were heavy so I ultimately decided to put them up on Craigslist. I'm undecided on my next wheel choice. I would love to find a used set of Hutchinson Bead Locks - they come up for sale from time to time. That would significantly help my snow adventure game!

With wheel spacers I think you would be just fine.
