Awesome, I'm going to test fit them this week and work out the tire size after. I can't have much poking out, its over in Japan so I have to keep pretty tame.
No issues mounting those? I have a set in gunmetal grey with -20 offset that I haven't messed with yet. I can't go that wide with the tires so I am bit jealous of the look.
I got ahold of a set of the 15in wheels for a 1988 4runner. They are 15X7J 6-139.7 -20 φ106 60 degree taper 12mm, any reason these won't be an easy fit? WIll the offset cause issues?
Also, does anyone know the part number or where I could find a set of rear center caps for these?
Thanks
The first real question is, what size tires are everyone using. I plan on running the retro rims 15x7 rims that were OEM back in the day. They seem to fit the vibe. But what size tires could I get away with?
From what I can tell they aren’t very common. They didn’t really catch on over here so not many running about but the ones still around are in pretty good shape.
Previously, I harrassed this forum with questions about what to look for and what not to buy a 1st gen version. I'm currently living in Japan, so my options were slightly different, mostly where the steering wheel is and what engine I have. But since I sold my 75 series Troopy, I felt lonely...
Getting parts is always going to be rough with trucks this old. Good part is Im in Japan for a while so I can stock up and I know a bunch of people on the bases that could ship it to me once I move on.
And if its anything like my 75 series I have here, parts are cheaper and easier to find...
For some reason they like to do these baby lifts on stuff over here. They don't really change anything structural as it has to be approved and verified to be able to be registered so mostly harmless.
Right side doesn't bother much, I kinda like the novelty of it. Plus, at this point I am pretty use to both sides of the car. I agree, rust is the biggest issue for me. I hate dealing with it. Takes all the fun out of these things. I prefer a manual, for these types of trucks they are just...
I agree about the price but I thought this one was mint. I know it doesn't have the cool guy stuff on it but interior looks mint and from what I have taken so far that's the hard stuff to come by.
I’m in Japan for a bit so the ones around seem in good shape. This is a bit more than I want to spend but it’s the best quality I’ve found. What are prices going in the states?

Who is Mr. T? I am assuming you mean Toyota but dealing with my 70 series there are certain people that everyone points to for the hard to find things you always need.
