Our '87 4R SR5 Honduras Coffee/Missions Rig Build... (1 Viewer)

I know I'm still just upset over it. His words were at least one tire is ruined if not both.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Ok so I need wheel spacers. Spidertrax brand? Anyone know if there's a problem with them working with the OEM rims? Thanks!

 

[The Jade Bean]

I only see 1.5" spacers...

 

[G-Cat]

I never knew that there was an OEM 4Runner wheel/large tire combo that would not work with a suspension lift! I'd go with the smallest spacers that will work...

 

[Fireman]

Something ain't right...

 

[Fireman]

I can't visualize how that could happen.

 

[Ctenosaurian]

Wow, I have never seen that before.

If you need smaller spacers, Just Differentials makes hub centric spacers as small as 1". I ran them on my 40 and 100, good as far as spacers go

Bummer on the ruined rubber. Something definitely don't look right

 

[The Jade Bean]

Ok so bear with me on details because all my info I'm getting through messages as I'm in Honduras right now.

To level off the front they have max out the torsion bars on top of the 1" ball joint spacers. I guess he then test drove it without checking on clearance.

He says I need a diff drop and it busted open one of my CV boots.
Quote from him:
Sorry taking so long, 6x5.5 spacers, no hubcentric lip, 1" should work. I also need the front diff drop if you can get those sent also.
End Quote.

Thanks all! I should have waited to be home before I took it up there, but I was trying to rush things and then BLAMMO!

Honduras trip so far is good, but exhausting.

We went on a shopping spree!

Saw this '87 4R here in Copan and was excited that I won't be the only 1st. Gen 4R here when we move here.

Where did you source the inside door handles? Mine are dry and brittle. Did you get three?

 

[The Jade Bean]

Local parts store here in Copan. Yes I got 2 right and 1 left. I have seen them on eBay too.

Have you checked out 4crawler.com?? He makes/sales things like dif drop and ball joint spacers. This is the first I've see of rubbing like that. Wheel spacers may cause rubbing on fenders. I've found smaller ones than an inch. Think I've got or had a set of 1/4". Any longer may need longer wheel studs, but don't know for sure. I think bud built makes a stout front skid plate too.

Ok so had to order a new tank. Apparently the tank was covered in rust and clogging the injection and the fuel rail had rust inside as well. So they are cleaning everything up and racking up my bill. Lol!

Adventure Copan, saw your post in KLf's thread and didn't wanna clutter it up, but what does your runner look like with the OME 2.5" and 31's?

 

[The Jade Bean]

Good idea. Here's a pic:

Bigger looks cooler, but I dig mine too!

 

[Mudder]

Are there any pictures of the full side of it?

 

[The Jade Bean]

Not right now, but in a week or so I'll be posting up a lot. I'm in Honduras right now and the trucks in Texas at the dealership.

 

[Mudder]

Well have fun down there, can't wait to see more of your runner and how it looks with the tires and lift!
