I don't know the backspacing for the tundra wheels exactly. I do know that they sit in further than the stock wheels, so I'd guess in the realm of 4.5"...
Your theory makes sense, it would be interesting to see how much you could extend the control arm. I'd be fine with a few extra inches of track width, but retaining the same width via backspacing would be an impressive accomplishment IMO. I've got extra LCAs but no fabrication skill. Will you be attempting this?
Woot old timer club! You've been here since I joined IIRC.
Especially when a rig stales out like mine, it hasn't been the recipient of any real mods lately. Like you, I'm concentrated on other projects... are you still owner of that continental?

I'll take the extra LCA's if you don't need them

Yeah, I hear you. I like my rig where it's at and I don't really feel like doing stuff to it just to do it. The only things probably left on my list are possibly a stereo upgrade, cargo/sleeping system and the SC that I constantly go back and forth on.
No more Lincoln. Got rid of it a few years ago. Got too tired of chasing electrical gremlins. Replaced it with a fully restored '48 Chevy convertible. I love it.

Now you've got those two pretty Supras to play with and consume your time haha. We're kinda opposites. You're building Supras now and spending your time on them, and I'm building a 3rd Gen since I've run out of things to do to my Supra without taking it too far from stock, which I don't want to do with mine.

Ah yes, 2012. Remember that one user that retrofitted a second gen tire carrier without reinforcing the sheetmetal from the back? He was quite an electrician too. :lol:
So I'm guessing that a built 3RZ is not anywhere in the future. Or maybe the 2JZ in that Supra will make its way into the 4Runner?

Can you post a pic and/or link to the new ride? Sounds like a beauty. Restored to original spec or restomod?
Dude.. SC's are going for mad amounts of money now... two in a row went for $3,500 on eBay. Waaaay too much just for 8PSI...
Damn son, that's some old-school shit right there... we're among the rocks of T4R.
I'll have to check out your build after this! Lately been reading 7M-GTE MKIII Supra builds almost solely.
We're backwards buddies! You have more self-restraint, things would've been different if I had a MKIII before the 4Runner... probably would have wrecked it or done a bunch of stupid mods.
You got it just right with that beauty of a Supra... down right pornographic how clean that sucker is. Great to see your taste has shown in the 3rd gen, its a looker!
I'm always spending time fixing shit. MKIV's still giving me issues with high RPM. As of today, though, the 7M-GTE is all done. Last thing I want to do is try to fix something when its installed!
Ah yes, 2012. Remember that one user that retrofitted a second gen tire carrier without reinforcing the sheetmetal from the back? He was quite an electrician too. :lol:

Haha what a dumbass... that truck was such an eyesore... skull wheels?!
Built 3RZ... experience is keeping me away from that... It's all happening in stages. Reality is - if that 3RZ is going to be reliable, I need more time for learning.
Stage 1 complete.. removing and replacing engines and turbocharging (learned with the 22R-TE in the 87.)
Stage 2 complete - Complete tear down and rebuilding of an engine (MKIII supra taught me a huge amount of stuff)
Stage 3 in progress - Learning how to tune, achieving proper Air/Fuel ratios, tuning, boost, etc. (7M-GTE and 2JZ-GTE helping me out with that)
After I can do these things confidently, the 3RZ will be rejuvenated. At 235k, it's no spring chicken...
Discontinued... I bought mine before they went out of stock. Mine are not for sale, they've been plastidipped and stashed away for another day.
i dot no if the dealer still wood hav em bcuz their not making them nemore

Haha, I actually dailyed the Supra all through high school, it was my first car. If I had listened to everything that everyone told me to do back then I would have a 6 speed, quad turbo, supercharged, slammed, hot pink Supra sitting on 24" wheels...
I usually spend a lot of time researching everything I do to my cars a whole bunch before I do them so I'm glad it shows in the end. I appreciate the compliments!
Can't wait to see you get that motor back into the MK3 and get the beast back on the road. I just did the TB/WP etc on the 4Runner. Everything went well with it I believe and it has me debating tearing into the Supra to replace that TB/WP and valve stem seals. I'm also debating just pulling the head and sending it off to be cleaned, sealed, shimmed, etc and putting a new headgasket on since I don't know if it was ever done.

Lol. Not sure how you've missed it. I whore pics of it out here any chance I get!
It's a restomod. Crate 383 stroker on a 700R4 trans. Discs up front on a Mustang II suspension. Even has AC!

Annnnnddddd DONE! It's taken a solid week of reading on and off but I just made it through your entire thread.
This is great dude; as month old owner of a 2002 SR5 2wd this has been a huge inspiration to me. And I just want to thank you on behalf of everyone you've helped with this thread along. Believe me when I say that while some of the old gray-backs of this forum may have moved on, your truck and your persistence in the face of some major bad luck/jerks/acts of God is still a daily inspiration.
I am a solid 3 weeks out from knowing literally nothing about cars, and I hope this will help me keep my baby running for at least the next decade. God bless man

Wow, I just finished reading through the whole thread and all I have to say is... Wow... First off, you seem like a really cool dude that knows his stuff. You have sick rides. I'm going to use some of your ideas. Love your attitude about getting mods done (even tough you put some off, their obviously not important enough to you; you didn't put them off because of laziness).
I just got my 99 T4R 2 days ago. It's a green highlander (I think), V6, 4x4. Has bad suspension (still need to make a few more posts to start a thread about it) and brakes need to be done soon (few months), so I may knock them out together and do the tundra upgrade. Need some info on the suspension, I decided not to lift it because it's a family vehicle/DD and I will be doing little to no offroading until I get another ride (which may be a while). Because it's a family car, I want a smooth ride (this is what will drive my purchase).
Sorry for the digression (I've been up all night, literally reading your thread). Overall, I say sick rides. Love them all. Please post thread link to your supra build (one of my dream cars), if there isn't one, MAKE ONE! Thanks for the good read my friend. I hope to see a V6 or V8 dropped into you T4R.

You can find both his supra builds on this forum in the all other vehicle section.
