I recommend BFG A/Ts for sand hands down, however as someone else said no matter what tire you have the most important thing is to air down. Though I think 5-10 psi is a bit low, I would recommend more like 10-15 and probably wouldn't go lower than 8. Keep in mind that the lower your air...

So curb weight is no passengers, no fuel, completely empty right? So realistically im looking at about 400 pounds less than the payload to be safe (including my weight at 200lbs, and say about 100lbs of gas with a full tank). Giving me 1200lb payload at max if everything is perfectly...

Sorry, its a 99, 2wd 6cyl automatic. SR5 sport I beleive (power windows/doors, moon roof, power back window, stock tires/rims). Im really surprised to hear that the lowest payload is 1300.

Somewhat of a dumb question, but was just wondering how much weight it will hold inside? From my research it looks like the 4r itself (2wd, no mods, I weight 200lbs, plus gas) should weigh no more than 4200lbs, and the GVWR is 5250, so evenly distributed with the back seat down I should be able...

Definately am going to check the stickies out, and Im glad everyone so far seems really helpful. I definately know what 2wd Toyotas are capable of (my Tacoma was 2wd with a 4cyl and did great in the sand). However, this one is my wifes, and she has seen everything I put my truck through - so Im...

Haha. Yeah that was me. I lived on N. 13th st in Grover for about a year or so... Cant remember the cross street... I used to drive it from my house to the dunes with no windshield all the time. My favorite story is when I popped a bead by comp hill, had two spare tires but left my jack in the...

AH! I know this is somewhat counter productive, but having been around forums for many years I automatically still just skip right over the stickys even on new boards. Apologies for that. I skimmed through that thread real quick, and will definately read it more indepth, but I definately want...

Hey guys, I owned a 1997 Tacoma in the past and just bought a 1999 4runner for the wife. It has 107k miles on it. The timing belt and water pump were just replaced. The frame looks good - a few minor rust spots, but nothing major. Didn't appear to have any leaking, suspension components seemed...
