    Official 3rd gen 4Runners on 35's Pic Thread

    just an eye-candy shot. 35x12.50x16 maxxis creepy crawlers. have 3" lift plus 1" body lift. needed 1/4" spacers in front to clear the tundra calipers. not keeping them, just rolling around on them for now. but I think I like this size:smokin:

    tire size for better mpg

    a. OP is all stock b. I have this size on my 2006 dc tacoma. consistently gets 22mpg. c. A 3rd gen 4runner locking up the brakes!?! ha! i'm calling bs. the ABS system is way to maniacal for that kind of shenanigan. Besides, that's the whole point; reducing the contact patch = better mileage.

    new tires

    Thanks for the comments. My whole life my dad drove a 1981 toyota pickup and I remember when I was a little kid he had white-letter-out desert dogs on it and I never forgot how cool it looked. So it's white letters out for me from now on. Rims are Ballistic Offroad Jesters. 18x9. They come with...

    tire size for better mpg

    I 2nd the 245/75r16 option, I ran those on an all factory 98 4runner for a few years. looked as normal as the rest of them, and consistently got 22-23mpg.

    Supercharger Upgrade/Mod questions

    I think i'm one of a very few running with the AEM FIC so I'll add something here. I haven't used the URD control units, btw so I can't directly compare them. I'm currently running the factory 240cc injectors and controlling them with fic, without issue. I'm able to peg the AFR to 12.5 at mid...

    Ebay 5vz-fe Turbo

    I'm very tempted to drop my supercharger for this kit because: A: Intercooler! B: no more belt slip and no more parasitic drag to run the boost. these alone should net you a sizable amount of power over the supercharger at the same boost levels ~8psi. My concerns lie entirely with the crappy...

    Engine Rebuild/Supercharger 7th Injector/pulley/meth build questions

    shaun did the footwork to plug the AEM FIC 6 into a 5vz. he helped me get that setup together on my truck with a pnp harness from boomslang. Running this system is all too easy. tune real-time, no maf skewing, control meth injection etc.. not trying to sell you on it. but shaun might.. :eyebrows:

    Engine Rebuild/Supercharger 7th Injector/pulley/meth build questions

    5VZ HP limits as i found them. - CustomTacos.com Forum bigger injectors and a 7th injector is redundant. pick one. make sure you use mls headgaskets. check out tokensolutions.net. talk to shaun.

    Engine Rebuild/Supercharger 7th Injector/pulley/meth build questions

    Why exactly have you decided to rebuild the engine/heads? LCE will regrind your cams for $1600, as I recall from their webpage. Not worth it unless your building a 1/4 miler. If your doing a full rebuild on the block, you may consider going with the 8.5:1 compression pistons as that will...

    2nd gen supercharger owners. Need your help for a fellow member

    I'm guessing by "2nd gen" you mean the black charger. as I understand the grey is actually a 3rd gen and the black is a 4th gen. It shouldn't matter anyway as I think the bracket is the same. it is just the factory bracket mounted to the charger. here's pics of the bracket on my grey unit.
