    yes exactly that, and all over TW lol. theres a guy that has a 2j swapped xrunner and he comes to washington all the time, see him every now n then, he's fast dude. no way the 2tr could keep up, lmao. looks like your old runner but it has a black roof, has a roof wing and tailgate wing, and has a big black stripe down the middle, and i dont remember for sure but it has a urd radiator, or its a intercooler, im not sure, havent seen him in months

    i feel like theres a way that we can 6 lug swap easily, theres gotta be a way. or someway to use "6 lug" shocks and struts, ect. i have "6 lug" spacers for the front, i test fitted them. they work. i dont get it whats the difference? i know the geometry and placement is different, but what else?

    The entire frame. If it was that easy then there would be many more 6 lug converted 5 lug trucks.


    Have you gone to the 5 lug sub forum and read the big thread on 5 lug suspension. It details why the 5 lug is different.

    I mean a 1grfe, pushing heavy 33's on stock gears is no race car by any means, the 4cyl would want to take its own life trying to churn 35's

    35s need more power or a regear

    I ended up with an F350 for my 35s

    35’s on a 5 lug sounds like a bad idea all around.

    i have a friend with a base model sc 4wd that is on 12-13 wide 33's and hes got a 2tr (obviously) but he didnt regear, its slow yes, but not much slower in my opinion than stock rims and tires, we have the same mods done, and hes only a little slower, and his wheel n tire set up is pretty heavy for what it is, i just feel like if theres a chance that somebody could get 35's to fit im sure itd work, im not doubting anyones expertise, just that i have high hopes, and the knowhow that it is possible.
