I'm not 100% sure, my best guess would be nitro or Yukon.

 

Thanks. It's on my list of things to do lol

 

The tires you've chosen aren't close to one another. Buckshots are cheap tires. From my experience with them and knowing many people who ran them in high school, they work well enough in mud and seem to last decent on the road. That price is too expensive for that tire though. The km2s speak for themselves and there's enough people in this thread to tell you they are worth the money, especially at that price on Amazon. That's really good. The coopers are kinda an all terrain/street tire and not close to off road performance of the other two.

As for the wheels, I love those first wheels you posted, not the wheels with the circle holes. I know many people that run them and they look badass on everything I've seen them on. But if there is problems with procomp right now, or if you just want a different look option for steel wheels, check out Black Rock. I'm running their 941 wheels, 16x10, that are turned into beadlocks. They have some good looking steel wheels at good prices ........

Also you need to be aware that if you have a sport model (if this is wrong then someone correct me) then 16"s won't fit over your calipers. Also most steel wheels you can get, you will need to run a 1/4" spacer with because the inside face of the wheel won't clear the caliper.

 

Nitro. They have been making Toyota gears for a long time now. Does Yukon make Toyota gears now? A few years ago when I got my gears put in, Yukon didn't even offer toyota gears. But def go to ECGS. You buy pre-assembled diffs, pay a core charge upfront, they send you the new diff, you swap them out then use a prepaid shipping label and send your stock diff back and they refund you the core charge. It's easily the smartest and cheapest way to go about swapping gears. 4WP charges $400 per diff to install gears. That's ONLY the install price. Add in the cost of the gears, master rebuild kit, solid spacer and fluids and you're at $2k for a gear install without any lockers. Add that up on ECGS website and compare prices.

On top of that, ECGS specializes in diffs. They are the best in the business and do 1000s of Toyota diffs a year. Their diffs also come with a 5 year warranty as long as you are on 35" tires or smaller.

 

Whenever I meet you, I'm gonna bitch slap you for writing that second sentence. And bring the guy that told you that with you so I can bitch slap him too. I'm gonna have to use my pimp hand on him. "Get the baby powder!!!!"

 

Lol the 4 is under powered I know cause I had one. It kept up on the trails alright but merging into 70mph traffic it was pretty bad lol.

 

Nope the procomps I had (the ones with the holes) cleared on both my 4cly SR5 and my V6 OR without the need for a spacer. The back spacing was 4.5" IIRC. Can't speak for the other models.

 

Good to know I'll keep them in mind when the time comes. I'm running 265/75r16 on my truck currently

 

They will clear the caliper on a sport model but will take a 1/4 spacer....

I thought it was a one year warranty... Oh well haha chase is pretty cool and will take care of you

 

Today's project gents...... flood car

 

^^^ "Clean title, clean CarFax."

 

It is underpowered for a big 2nd gen extra cab or double cab depending on what you consider underpowered. There's plenty of guys on here with double cab 4bangers that love their trucks and their better mpgs. It's a personal preference and opinion, not a fact. Put that motor on a go cart and tell me if you still think it's underpowered ..... This also doesn't translate into the v6 being a "better" motor. By all accounts, the 1gr is like most Toyota motors, fantastic. On the other hand the 2tr is like all Toyota 4cyl motors, some of the best ever made. Seems hard to go wrong with either. I prefer 4cyl motors. That makes it a "better" motor to me then the v6. My point ...... Don't use opinions as facts. Derive your own opinion and present it as such. This also helps avoid the pimp hand. Haha

 

"sport model"

Check it out bro shizzle ......

Direct quote from link .....

"Our NEW or RE-MANUFACTURED differential units carry a 5 year warranty on all new parts i.e. bearings, ring and pinion, shafts. This is a parts and labor warranty."

 

Hahaha that's what I was thinkin too. Looks fun Mike. Great spot for the fuse box as well

 

Haha well yea on a go cart it'd be a lot of fun. Not so much with a double cab. I had the AC so it wasn't as bad but between the two the V6 is much more preppy than my old 4cly I'm actually getting BETTER mileage with the V6 than I was with the 4cly. IMO its because I have the power I need in the V6 that I'm not dogging the truck as hard as I was with the 4cly. But that's just my personal results and your experience may vary lol.

 

But in either case never meant to mislead the public with my I've been told comment.

 

Yeah I've seen people say those same things. How you drive means a lot also. I got 24 mpgs with a drop in K&N filter on an otherwise stock truck when I first got it. I average 18-19 now with a vastly different then stock truck. There's no winning argument, I wouldn't care if I got 2 mpgs, I'd still keep my 4 banger over the v6. Literally my only reason ....... I like 4cyl motors. Now if our trucks came with a JZ series motor, I'd never own a 4cyl truck again in my life. Haha

I wouldn't worry about it. It's hard to take advice from an army of squirrels serious anyway .....

 

Ha-ha yea I drive it like I stole it. I'm surprised I get better mpg with the v6. When I first bought mine I wanted the V6 but they weren't selling them in manual near me apparently. After someone pulled out in front of me the truck didn't drive the same after pulling the frame 3 times to move it back 12mm (still don't know how it wasn't totaled) I was able to get my v6 in 6spd now I'm in love. I liked the 4cly but I wasn't in love with it. Like I said it kept up on the trails in PA just fine but driving through the mountains at highway speeds it hated it. But different strokes for different folks.

 

I quoted about $16,000 parts and labor..... may be more later on after i replace the 7 water damaged modules that average $700 and the left head light that has water in it..... so head light: $1600, most expensive module: $1200... way more to it.

 

How much is that car worth?
