newbie........along with newbie questions
just purchased a 1998 Limited 4runner 4x4 (doesn't have the locker though...) and I'm definately excited about the future of it. I'm not new to the Yoter scene, my dad has a '73 FJ40 (he's the original owner!) that he and I just finished restoring, he also has a 2002 SR5 4runner, my mom has a Rav4, and I have a 1990 4x4 pickup in addition to this 4runner. So I guess you could say we're a Toy family!
Enough about that...I've got some mods that I would like to do ASAP! I know there are other threads on here and on yotatech that are relevant to my following questions but I don't know if they apply to the Limited 3rd Gens as well. Here goes: 1st -> i wanna slap some larger tires on it and from what i've read, 265/75/16's are pretty much ideal without installing a lift...correct? 2nd -> I assume OME lifts are the best bang for the buck, but has anyone installed Downey's lifts? 3rd -> Has anyone installed Downey's Manual Hub Conversion? If so, does it really improve gas mileage a noticeable amount? 4th -> Are there any problematic areas that I should be on the watch for with this model 4runner (only has 80,000 miles)?
Sorry this post is so damn long! Any answers would be great! Thanks, and happy wheelin!
