No I was on time.

No I was on time.

Isn't that early by club standards?

 

[Diff Kraken]

CLCC “party of one” at the bone. Did I miss something?

It filled in pretty good by 10… nice to see everyone! And hands down best breakfast sandwiches around!

 

[Diff Kraken]

PS- before leaving I measured @JohnVee ’s ground clearance on his stock 100 series… 13” to my 9.5” on the new 4runner… definitely envious of the higher measurement. No matter how much delicious meat I had this morning with the club I still feel like I could use a couple more inches. Contemplating next steps with the 4runner so I can get the extra inches that I crave at every moment- especially when out alone in the woods. The factory skid is toast already with 1,200 miles on the odometer. No innuendos intended.

Another morning of good eats and conversation. Good to see y'all this morning! Looking forward to the next one.

@iptman is that your 80 next to Ahmad’s 200? Who ever that is- what’s the lift and tire set up? Massive rear bumper clearance there!

 

[matzell]

Whats with all these pics of cruisers? Where are the food pics you guys describe so much? lol! It was good to see our group have a meet up again after a long time off. Hope see everyone again soon,

Well, I do have 18's instead of 16's plus the next size up tire, so your number is a little higher than a stock 100.

That's Matt Bascom's 80. He doesn't use MUD much. I think he might have said it's a 4" Dobinson's and 37's. Maybe Bob knows.

Matt has Js and 2" spacers on the front and Dobinson's 4" in the rear.

Here ya go, @matzell . Fried chicken thigh (daaaaaaaaamn good by itself for a place that only fries french fries!), eggs, pimento cheese on a potato bun. The sloppy gooey cheese melt drip is on the other side - looked gorgeous but covered up the glorious chicken crust. All of their breakfast sandwiches can be had on a biscuit or a bun, and cheese can be cheddar of pimento.

@iptman somehow managed to eat his two biscuits & gravy plus a bbq/egg/cheese biscuit. I feel bloated and lethargic just thinking about that. I wanted to try to goad him into stuffing a cinnamon roll into his gullet afterward but started feeling guilty so I didn't bother; it could have been dangerous and I might have felt badly.

Easiest way to get clearance and height is bigger tires.

 

[iptman]

The biscuits and gravy were phenomenal! Good seeing everyone today.

Sort of… measured at the front skid plate area- to get the same clearance as John’s 100 series (with one size up tires) Id need to run a 38” tire. LoL. Thanks Toyota.

13” - 9.5” = 3.5” difference. So double 3.5” to get needed additional tire height. Currently 30.6” tire + 7” = 37.6” tire.

In other words it looks like I’ll need a 2”/2.5” lift and then the bigger tires. Let’s see…

2.5” Lift yields 9.5” clearance + 2.5” = 12” (ok getting there)
Now add a 33” tire…
12” + (33”-30.6” tire) = 12.4”
Ok. So 2” or 2.5” lift and a 33” will almost get me there.

Gah!! I did not want to bother with a lift… But I think it’s just inevitable on the 4runner and GX platforms. Toyota really should have provided more adequate ground clearance from the factory.

Call me crazy, but sounds like you need to buy some 40s and chop up your fenders so you can have the clearance you want. Seems like the simplest solution.

Here's motivation

THAT is hideous!
