Back seat windows up...well all sides up. Wonder if it turns into a jet tunnel when going those speeds?

Haha. Nah. Not too bad.

Well... the 4x4 labs bumper is awesome but with shipping it’s 1,345.... and 3 months out minimum. That’s tough. Anyone else have any other ideas... that 350 shipping is really rough on the price.
What size tires are you going with eventually?

I'll probably do 30x9.5 ... 31s at the most....

I'm wondering what local fab I could get done for the bumper, or stumble across someone who is selling something not too far away....

I’m pretty sure I’m going with a 4xinnovations rear bumper. I know it’s not as high end as the 4x4 labs, but I like the look, and it is closer to my budget. The question is.... do I get the tire carrier swing out! Lead time is 12 weeks... not too bad.
also... for wheels I’m going copper st maxx or pro. Probably maxx. I had them on my FJ and they were the best tires I’ve ever had in my life. With the stock gearing on the 4Runner and a 22RE I am wondering if I could pull off 31x10.5 (I think it’s a 30.6 actually diameter or something) or if I really need to stick with 30x9.5. I could always regear down the line. What do you guys think?

Go big and regear and go down the rabbit hole of fun

The biggest I’ll go is 31s. They look great on those gen 1s with a small lift. Practical enough, but I may stick with 30s. I’ll see. I just like the narrowness of the 30x9.5.
Skip the tire carrier and use the money for sliders or another upgrade. It also makes getting in and out of the tailgate easier without a carrier back there.

Any tricks to keeping your 5th wheel in good condition under there.... just clean it up once in a while? That would definitely save me cash. I could put the money towards suspension or tires. Or like you said maybe some sliders. I just like having 5 tires in the rotation, but I guess I just have to drop it and clean it up some now and again.

If you're going to do a 5 tire rotation that should be often enough I'd think..
Also to your comment about 31s, I believe my cousin's 1st gen is riding on 31 and I don't remember wishing for more gearing when driving it around. Unless the person he had bought it from had done something already

31s would probably be ok at least for a while. I wish there was a good 31x9.5x15 option but there isn’t. 31x10.5. I’m not 100% that fits on the rim.... but it would probably work.

Actually I think the rim width on those are only like 5 or 5.5 inches... lol. I’ll definitely need different rims... which blows because I like those.
I’ve run 31x10.50 on those stock rims for years and never had issues in previous trucks. Stick with the stock rims.
You’re way overthinking this.

Stock wheel for that should be 15 x 6
