I currently have 31' BFG AT's on my 88 runner right now and was looking to go bigger. My questions are, how much lift would I need on my runner to clear 35" tires and what gearing would I need installed to get the best power band on my truck? The truck is my daily driver but sees weekend trails...

This is a noob question but, how do you read the chart? I mean other than matching up the gearing ratio to tire diameter, how do you know where your optimum gearing ratio to tire diameter should be? Is it highlighted in yellow, red, or white? Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks

So, ever since I bought this truck (10/23/10) its been having a little leak from the differential. I didn't think much of it, I mean hey, i got the truck for $500 from this lady in Coarsegold, Ca. Her husband used to own it but he passed away some time and she's kinda left it sitting in her...

I went with shackles because at first, I wasn't sure how much time and effort I wanted to invest into this truck, but it turns out, this truck plenty fun without a lift. However, since I was reluctant to go places where other "lifted" with bigger tires went, I'm re-negotiating my efforts and...

This is my first Shackle install. looked simple enough so I thought I'd give it a try. The rear end of my truck had a really bad rear sag, I really didn't like the rear end sag so I had to do something about it. After talking to some guys at Marlin Crawler and 4wheel Parts in Fresno, they...

Sorry to continue on this but, I am going to do this mod on my current 1988 4runner not because I drive in water frequently but, because my differential seals were actually blown out from the breather being clogged. I think having it clogged for so long (like that when i bought it) damaged the...

Yes sorry this is the 3vze v6 engine. I'm wondering if this has also happened to anyone else before either.....

So, I took my truck to get smogged but the guy at the smog station (test only station) said that my timing was too high. He said the stock timing should be set at 10 but mine was set at 28? I'm not sure but that would mean that my timing is off by 18 degrees right? Would I just adjust the...

thanks a bunch everyone and fast replies too. I'm heading to harbor freight today since I got the day off. Besides the initial maintenance issues and interior pieces looking like crap this runner is a beauty so I'll Try and post up some pics of it when it's drivable. next on the to do list is...

Hi T4R Just joined and I have to say that I am impressed with the amount of help everyone's been giving to people on their threads. Since reading other threads, I've decided to vent out a little. I used to own an 82' 4x4 Toyota pickup, it was a nice little rig for fishing and hunting, nothing...
