4Running Daily's Build Thread

Then I have to store the extra set of wheels somewhere, and swap them every time I do find a little bit of time to wheel.

I have come to a place similar to yours. I bought 33's and didn't change my gearing. I went from 19 mpg to 13-14. Its not fun to drive anymore. I have 3.90's. So I've made a turn in my build. I'm selling the 33's and going back to a light 32. (a camping expedition rig) Maybe a better option is to make it a more forgiving daily driver for the next 3 years and then go crazy with it.
 
Sounds like your mind is made up. I'd park it, get it non-op, and wait, but you gotta do what is good for you.

What are you thinking of for a commuter car?

Exactly. A nice 1st gen Tundra with VVTI would be a great commuter and then go full retard once I'm through college
 
Sometimes I feel like throwing mine up for sale for way more than it's worth and see if anything happens(which I might get what I want for it up here in the PNW. I'd regret it a little but I'd just take the money and buy a nice 100 series and start the next chapter of our expo vehicles.
 
If I do keep it, I'm gonna beat on it harder than ever. See what trails I can run and can't. Body damage may be expected

That's why it wasn't fun, you weren't pushing the truck or yourself if you weren't getting body damage :crutch: jk. Throw some skinny 28s on it to daily :D

This is pretty much how I feel. If someone pays me close to my ridiculous asking price, they can have it. I'll go buy a Tundra or a brand new Focus ST. If no one buys it, I'll continue to put miles on it and wheel it.
 
Woah! Hold on! From a guy in a very similar position as you, I can't imagine considering selling mine. Being born and raised in the same truck you still have is something special. If your anything like me, you have a connection to that truck that you will NEVER have with another vehicle, or item for that matter. I'm going through the process of selling the Mustang that I bought when I was 12 and spent countless hours restoring. It would make a lot more financial sense to keep this Mustang that will continue to gain value and sell the 4runner. I'm keeping my 4runner because I know I have a connection with the truck that I could never get back if I sold it. I think selling your truck needs to be a long term decision, not just because something else will be more practical for the moment.
 
Sell it! Then build something better, and more capable when you have the time/money to do so. Nothing wrong with that.
 
This is all a plot to supplement the flow of BS in this thread.

Sell it, I dare you. Make sure someone is standing by to take a picture of your tears.
