I guess it's kind of a project / build up.
It is finally no longer 100% stock
Gonna start small, real small.
As I bought it last fall
1st thing I did was put in a rebuilt motor
Then I started parting out my wagon to pay taxes, and to pay for some upgrades to the 4runner.
First I got a set of 31 x 10.5 Goodyear ATS for Free. Tires are almost brand new.
I paid $50 for a set of SR5 wheels. Right now I have my original set of stock 235/75/R15 street tires sitting in the garage. I knew that the I would notice the difference with the 31's, so I figured i'd keep the stockers on hand for every day driving.
I also picked up a set of warn locking hubs for cheap. I would and probably eventually go withe aisan hubs, but i got these cheap so I'm running them. Way mo' better than the stock auto locking junk hubs.
The rear springs were sagging, so I picked up a set of stock Jeep TJ coil springs. I trimmed the fronts down a little and stuck them between the rear springs and frame. This lifted the rear up about 2.5" from where it was.
As it sits today
I have a set of sliders and a front winch plate/bumper base to start working on
I may pick up a set of 4.88's. The 22re is not really happy with the 31's and stock 4.10's.
Either way I'm gonna buy a lock right and stick it in the rear.
Other plans are a high clearance transfer case mount / skidplate from budbuilt, a idler arm brace from downey, probably some 4.7 transfer case gears.
