    Kale's 96' limited build

    Started with a $600.00 dollar 4Runner and ended up with quite a few good memories for such a short time. I built it to drive to Colorado, run passes, and drive home and it did that flawlessly but everyone is going to side by sides so I figure I will too. I put it for sale last week and it sold...

    Kale's 96' limited build

    Well, we made it to Colorado and back. Stayed at the Eureka campground outside of Silverton and would highly recommend it. The staff was very helpful. Did quite a few different passes, engineer hurricane, Minnie, Maggie, ran Poughkeepsie down hill until the wall but didn’t end up going down it...

    Kale's 96' limited build

    Built some rock sliders out of 2x4 rectangle tube and shampooed the carpets. Also, started getting supplies gathered for a trip we are taking to Colorado in a couple of weeks. I need to start on the rear bumper because the new 255s rub when flexing but I think its going to wait till after our...

    Anyone with just a 2" lift?

    Hahaha yes, a 3# hammer helps quite a bit. From 265/75s to 255/85 I did notice a bit of power loss. It's not terrible though. Thanks, I love the look so far, just hope it doesn't rip any fender flares off on the trails. I just switched last week after ruining a sidewall on my wildpeaks. It's...

    2" ome coils w/ 255/85/16s. Took a bit of work inside the fender wells to make everything clear when its flexed.

    Got the new tires mounted, bug guard on, new lights and grill done this weekend. It looks much more aggressive than before. Pretty happy with the results. Did some test flexing and had to “massage” the fenderwells. I also think I’m going to have to lose the rear mudflaps Sent from my iPhone...

    Kale's 96' limited build

    km2s Ended up ordering 255/85/16 KM2s. I liked the look of the Coopers but have experience with the KM2s and know that they will hold up in the areas that I offroad. They should be here Friday. Hopefully I don't have to do too much hammering to keep them from rubbing. Now to sell the other 3...

    Kale's 96' limited build

    It was my fault, put the high lift under the front bumper and started jacking without realizing that there was a bracket bolted to the top of the jack that hung over my hood. I pushed it out from the inside and ordered a bug guard to cover it up for now. So, looking for new tires. I could buy...

    Memorial weekend trip. Ended up with a ruined tire and a nice dent in my hood but had fun. If anyone knows of a factory desert dune or a sport hood near north west Arkansas I could use one lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice appreciated

    I say go get it and put an engine in it. The 3.4 is one of the most simple engine removals/installs that I have done. I pulled a blown up 280k engine and dropped in a 117k one that I picked up off car-part for 800 bucks. Took about 12 hours total.
