Since there are so many 4runner peeps on here how do you like having an suv vs a truck? One of my friends asked me today why I don't get something closer to what I want rather than trying to (wanting to, progress is slow up ) change my truck so much. Kinda got me thinking. I really like the first and second gen 4runner's and that would be a step closer to my ideal vehicle than modding my 5 lug a ton

 

Yes limited and it's a 97! I think I'm going to try and go 17s and fit some 265/70/17 tires on there. I still have to think about it all. And no the previous owner was doing a satoshi grill and gave me the stuff to finish it. I should finish it today but I have to buy replacement clips. So if you have clips that'd be awesome!

 

Don't get 265/70/17's. Get real tires! 255/80/17

 

16's! You get more rubber for less dough.

 

You like pizza cutters?

 

James and Bill have those and I think they look good!!! Not the typical look for Tacomas

 

I don't like that skinny look though. Especially on a third gen since they are so boxy already. I think I want 17s to clear the tundra brakes and eventually upgrade to some smexy scs stealth 6s

 

You get use to the look. Plus, damn do they work well. I get 23 mpg at 58mph and I get 21 at 70.

Wait, that truck is cliffs? I thought his name was Jamie too?!

He's not kidding there. The taco's are quite a bit longer. When I was test driving Sams new runner I had to flip a bitch into the guys drive way to park it the way he does. Lifted and bigger tires on a residential road and I didn't even have fully crank the wheel. I was confused because my taco would never had made that. I always get amazed when driving her runner because the difference in turn radius. (I rarely drive it anymore so I have gotten very used to my long truck).

 

I love my wife's 4 runner. I wanted to trade in my truck and buy one but having a truck is really nice when you need to haul stuff.


Edit: I made a friend at work, turns out he used to be an electrical engineer. He's bringing over his O-Scope in a few hours to show me how to use them. Excited to finally to be able to tune my stereo with an O-Scope!

 

You, your uncle, and the rest of your are certainly in my prayers.

 

Mine was the grey one with the white fenders next to cliff's

 

Thanks man I appreciate it

 

Lucky! Once I get mine set up I might have to hit you and your friend up.

I remember that. I just thought his name was different I guess.. Haha.

 

At the dealership getting the oil changed and got complimented on my lift.

 

I haven't actually done much to the truck yet which is why I'm thinking about it so hard now.

Think a first gen runner would be a mistake? kind of a cross between a truck and suv. I think they're awesome lifted and with a soft top

 

Stealership tried selling me tires.

 

Do it
