Now that you've had some time with the new tires, do you think stock gears with these skinny 35's is manageable or do you wish you would have gone a size down? Asking from a power/performance/crawling perspective.
I ran much heavier and wider 315x75r16 Treadwrights on stock gears. It was manageable, but now being on 5.29 gears I couldn't imagine going back. Regearing is 100% worth it with bigger tires. It's the most noticeable out on the trail, the truck crawls so much better and it is way easier to not hop and spin tires. It will conserve parts on the truck a lot more and is much easier to manage.
Fixed some steering rack mount issues I have had for a while. The middle bolt has been unable to thread into the nut and I have been lazy about fixing it. I finally got to it and found the bolt was seized to the sleeve.
To solve this I ended up cutting off the mount entirely and rebuilding it all. Here is how that happened.
I also picked up a 1st Gen Magnuson Supercharger and 7th injector kit. Waiting on the last few parts to make it in before I get it all installed!
The supercharger sadly has not made it in yet. I am waiting on a new Dynamic Tensioner from URD as well as fixing a crack in the supercharger manifold.
I did however replace my timing belt and water pump, new hiflow fuel pump from URD, got the spark plugs in, trimmed the timing cover and did a few other odds and ends.
I also fixed a rust spot on my driver floorboard from a leak I used to have.
I installed a new radio, a Yeasu FT2900. This thing is a beast compared to the old radios I have run. This will be perfect for at races, doing chase support, pre-running, etc.

Lastly on the new things docket. A 3rd Brake chase light for my S2's I used to run on my rack. I have seen these a couple of times and I thought it was really clean looking so I pulled the trigger on one. I do plan to do something different for brake light so that will come soon. This is from SRQ Fabrications.
What RPM's at 65-70 are you seeing with those skinny 35's and 5.29's? I'm thinking of doing a similar setup and am curious.

It's pretty good honestly, 65-70 is the mid-2000s, 80 and up is where you get into the 3's but it doesn't mind it at all. I've cruised 80 for 3-4 hours and still got around 17mpg.
The 4Runner is looking good as always. Congrats on the house purchase!
