TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Haven't looked much into it was just wondering. If anything g it's just 6 bolts and I have the shock down to put the spacer back on

 

Hey guys..I'm hopefully joining the 4runner club this weekend. Swapping my rusty tacoma out for a clean 3rd Gen 4runner. How many miles do you guys have on your 3rd gens?

 

203k. Someone here has 285k. I put 2k on mine this week.

 

another Danny! @dtaco06

I have about 180k on mine

 

and another 3rd gen

 

I run Es on both my trucks. I run 35psi on both, the ride isn't as harsh as you might expect...rides good and handles way better than 4 plies. The pressures you listed are for maximum load. You might run 80psi on the rear of a dump truck but our rigs would never need that much. I've got about 10k on my T4R and they're wearing evenly and barely at all. Cs would probably be ideal, but they are almost obsolete now days.

Unfortunately most manufacturers have done away with Cs and Ds because of the number of diesels on the road. Too many people were trying to save a couple bucks not running Es under their diesels and we're having blow outs.

One plus to the LT tires is that they generally start out with deeper tread than a P tire and will wear like iron with the light weight of our vehicles.

 

Drivers rear lean

Only in rear

 

Ok. I'll watch for it. Do they have a rear spacer from the lean. I just ordered the ome 889 rear springs

 

Thanks @SixthSnail

 

Looks like some new faces in here.
Hope everybody's week was better than mine. I've got the ST maxx in 285/75r16 mounted on 16x8s. They are only 32 tall with 15/32-14/32 tread. They are e rates and I run them at 33 based on chalk test. Drop them a few lbs when it was snowy road conditions and they stuck even better.
I'm getting another set soon here. Can't get the 315's from my friend which wouldn't fit yet anyway. So looking at options....

Also good or bad, here's how I ran my LX450's without spacer

 

Sweet....yes!!! Another 3rd Gen!!

I've got a 2000 and just clicked over 178,000....just dropped a TRD supercharger on mine 175,xxx. You don't have any worries with the 3.4L as long as the PO took decent care of it. It's a pretty hardly engine! How many miles does the 4Runner you're looking at have on it? What year is it?

Oh and we do have a requirement here....

 

Perfect, thanks man!

 

Thanks Speeder!

No, usually the driver's side spring is taller to take into account the lean. Just make sure to install the correct one on the leaning side.

Thanks buzz

@dannyk35 Welcome to the BS thread. Post pics!

 

What's wrong man?

 

I know every vehicle/lift is different, but an OME shim/spacer placed on the driver's side rear took care of the lean on my 3rd gen. I was a little high on the passenger front and a hair low on the drivers rear. It basically lifted the rear corner and pushed down on the opposite front corner. They all behave and accept lifts differently though when it comes to fine tuning your ride height.

 

what size and brand you running on your 4runner?

 

hopefully today is the day my shafts deliver.

 

265/75 16 BFGs. I've got the same size on my Tacoma. My truck generally doesn't get a lot of miles put on it, so I'll just swap them over to the 4Runner when she needs a new set. Then put new on the truck. In theory it will keep the set on the truck from dry rotting.

 

i like this idea. You've run the Es on your 4runner and no issues?

 

Just get them already
