    Damn straight bob knows what the best 4Runner is!

    I do have parts to a 1st gen. It would need some work and new parts bought but probably be functional again. Looking for a project?

    Haha I never got that site in my rotation. Probably because it came out and got more popular right when I was getting over my 4Runner and slammed at work.

    Sick rig man. Trail Premium? What year? what is done to it?

    Most importantly?? What brand shovel is that? I accidentally bought a spoon instead of a shovel.

    [/QUOTE]

    Thanks :cheers: Its a 2015 regular TE, I didn't want the sunroof or leather seats. Not much has been done to it 2.5" Radflo w/ resi all around with TC UCA, Gobi rack, Hella 700ff w/ HID conversion, CBI ditch lights with rigid dully diffused, rigid dually diffused on rear of gobi, will be getting brute force fab bumpers very soon, and tepui kukenam sky. Of course with the added weight of the bumper and RTT ill be buying stiffer springs to accommodate. The shovel is a kobolt shovel from lowes. My GF works there so I get a discount plus its lifetime warranty so why not. Added bonus it matches the 4runner.:thumbsup:

    Nice. I'm looking for one about that size. They are all either massive or super tiny. Now if only I could find a white and black one lol.

    When are you grabbing bumpers? I will be picking up my relentless rear bumper in September and could let you know how my springs hold up to the weight of that vs the RTT. I have Toytec Superflex 2.5" HD springs.

    Welcome! I'm on T4R but can't tell you the last time I have been on there. Hopefully you stick around on our BS page. We have the best thread on this site.

    No...but I'm running the Open Country A/T II on my 4Runner and M/T on my DuraMax. Toyo are awesome tires...they last a long time (as long as you rotate them regularly) and they are really quite for what they are!!

    I've been looking at the R/T's for my next set. Let me know what you find out about them!! They're supposed to me the best of both worlds?? Hate to say it...but they're kind of an ugly tire tread! But if they'll throw mud like the M/T and are quite like the A/T II...who cares!!

    Thanks

    I'm thinking I'll be getting them. I'm Debating between 285/70/17 and 295/70/17...

    I've had Toyo Open Country A/T II's on my Tacoma and Currently have Toyo M/T's on my Runner right now. I think having something between those two would be nice. Trying to get some power and MPG back but still want the grip. My A/T II's were nice, but they sucked in mud. The tread on the R/T's looks like it will be better.

    Someone needs to do something about your ego
    am I the only one without a pic in the banner?
    Quote fail
    I'll let you know if I see anything. That was supposed to be a Big Bear run but then someone suggested to change it
    Fuck off. Not my fault his lazy ass won't fix it or buy the MAF needed. I've offered to do that and a few other maintenance things like oil change for over a year and he just refuses
    Thought you were gonna go smaller?
