*MAKE AN OFFER* I recently purchased a new Tundra, so the 4Runner is up for sale! I've owned this for about 6 years. I purchased this bone stock and slowly built it up into the adventure vehicle it is today. I have never wheeled it, or abused it. This has been mainly used to commute or get out...

Not too sure about the load rating but i'll have to run out and check. I JUST purchased all new falked wild peak at3's so perhaps in a few years i will contemplate the load C. And yep - slow lane is what everyone seems to be suggesting. I'm going to re-gear to 4.88 and add a trans temp gauge...

So I would like to buy a scan gauge but my 1998 doesn't monitor trans temp so according to Timmy the Toolman i will need to splice in a temp sensor then route it to a gauge installed somehwere in the cab. Pain in the ass but I agree it should be worth it to have that data. And wow didn't know...

So the trailer i'm towing is from an old 1981 glasply - aka it has no trailer brakes. I pulled it from Comano Island to Tacoma no issues so i'm thinking it shouldn't be an issue. And YES for the air bags, i'll definitely have to put those on the rig to help with the sag that occurs.

Automatic transmission. I'm going to look on the door jamb to see what that says about the gearing. As I mentioned, I jacked it up and rotated the tire/counted spins and had my dad under counting driveshaft rotation ect. So I feel pretty certain about the 4.10 ratio.

I definitely don't want to open up a can of worms, so it looks like this is a vote for 5.29 gearing. And thanks for the tip on the route, good call.

I do have 4:10, I jacked up the rear end and did the tape/wheel rotation test to confirm. Any idea what 5.29's would put me at RPM wise if at 65mph?

So I recently made a decision to keep my 3rd gen instead of selling it and purchasing a Tacoma. My thought process is if I buy the taco, I'll be making $500 payments every month - where as if I put $500/mo into the 4Runner.. I could set this puppy up for what I need it to do - tow while still...

Here's an update where we're at today.

Well the tire size is 285/75/R16. Wheel size is.. sounds like 7in. I should be good for the recommendations Shadow provided?

Hey all, I have a new set of Falken Wildpeak AT3's on my 3rd gen 4runner, currently with the 16" alloy 5-star stock rims. What PSI should I run in snow? What about washboard (25-30mph)? Lowest/safest PSI? Daily driving PSI? Thanks all,

Update- my bumper showed up last week, so I got mine in a 5 week lead-time hell yeah. And when you're saying a night and day difference after putting gear on.. you are saying once weight is added, the setup rides a lot better?

Did you end up going with the semi-gloss or flat black?

Interesting. And how much weight are you running up front? Plate bumper and winch? And I ordered mine back in early October. Lead-times were at 8 weeks so hopefully early to mid december I get it. I just asked him for an update so i should get a response in a week or so lol. Fingers crossed, I...
