I wish it was just a wheel bearing because I really liked the way the BFG tires looked. I really wanted them to work. However, when multiple Discount Tire locations keep giving you a report each time saying all the tires were significantly out of balance it's hard to point a finger elsewhere...

BFG KO2 Issues None of the tires would balance. None. I had discount tire balance them 5 times over 15K miles at multiple locations while expressing my concern each time. Made sure they were using the Road Force machines and correct wheel attachment. The last straw was replacing a wheel...

Adventure Motors No affiliation. These guys specialize in Toyota trucks and have a green 3rd Gen in inventory that might be what you're looking for. They did work on my truck in the past and seem like a great group of people. 2000 Toyota 4Runner for sale in Lee's Summit, Missouri 64081

Add me to the list for fuel skid and rear diff skid

BFGs, oh hell no Put me on the list friend. I still cringe even looking at those tires on someone else's rig with all the issues I had over 15k miles. Never again.

4th Gen C4 Low-pro install w/winch & other goodies. A big shout out to Michael at Adventure Motors (https://adventure-motors.com/) for doing the install. They are a great group of people doing great work on Toyota rigs. I can't say enough good things about them and highly recommend them for...

Checking in from Des Moines, IA.

I've been in your shoes before. I had a 3rd Gen and loved the "truckie" feel to it but the drivability and power is so much better with the 4th gen. This would be amplified if I lived in Colorado and dealing with mountain passes regularly. Depending on the year, the multi-mode 4wd can be a...

Cost For any local fab shop I would expect a range of 1.2K - 2.0K. That is inline with what I paid for mine. It really depends on the person doing the work.

Below is a picture of the passenger side mounting (1/2 picture of the full mount). Basically, two cross beams are bolted to the frame and the carrier tubes mount to those and then snake above the factory hitch and bent around the rear bumper. I can get a few more pictures tomorrow night that...

Dirty car people Good observation! The black car is the teenage daughter's. Let's me just say that she is not known for her tidiness.

There are dozens of us! Thanks for the compliment. I really dig the red w/black wheels on your rig along with the roof rack. It's a great combo and pretty unique in the 4Runner world. I'm in Des Moines. It looks like you might be into a bit of the overland thing. That's a scene I'd like to...

More Rear Tire Carrier Pictures Thanks for the comment. I do have some more pictures. Starting off on the idea, I didn't want to hack up or remove the rear bumper to mount a full size spare on the truck. I also wanted to keep the factory hitch for the V8 towing goodness so I found a local fab...
