Kishan Sr5 Build Thread

Do you plan on sliders, skid plates, a winch, or adding a hi-lift Jack and other recovery gear? If you do then that also adds weight. I'm running 33 inch Toyos with a CBI Hybrid front bumper and a winch and it's a dog on anything other than flat ground at highway speeds.

I do plan on running sliders, skid plates and a rear bumper. Recovery gear wise I'm not sure what I will have. and oh dang. what gears are you running?
 
Nothing yet and that's how I know, it's horrible. I've only got 33s and it's bad. I can't even imagine 35s without regearing. Most guys complain with 35s and armor unless they go with 5.29s. That's been my experience.

Ohh dang, well I'll chime in with some feedback on how these 35s go lol
 
Round 1: 35s didn't fit

So i went to discount tire where my buddy works to get my 35s mounted and they mounted one to test fit it in the front. All was going well till he tried putting it on the hub. The tire was too wide and it was hitting the front UCAs. So I had to take the 35 off and put the 32 back on. I ordered 1.25" hub centric wheel spacers and I'm going to try again next week sometime. In other news, my savage offroad bumper finally arrived!! It looks incredible and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I already dropped it off at a local powdercoating place here in Bryan, TX and so I should have both my 35s and my bumper on by next weekend!

My buddies truck and mine postin up outside discount tire

Savage Offroad Hybrid Front Bumper Installed

I picked up my bumper from powder coating today and it was perfect. I was very satisfied with the finish that was applied to the bumper. Obviously the most sensible thing to do was install it when I had a thermo exam tomorrow to study for lol. So I did just that. With the help of my girlfriend, we got it on in less than an hour, except I had to go to a mechanical measurements lab so I left the bolts loose and had to come back and tighten them afterwards.

Now once I get some more funds rolling in, I need to get some d rings, install my light bar and get some led pods for fog lights in there. But overall, I'm very happy about the bumper so far!
 
Digging that front bumper! Much cleaner look than the last one.
I'd also like to know how those spacers work out once you get 'em on
 
That front bumper looks great! Keep it up. Hopefully you get the 35s figured out soon.

Thanks man! I'm really stoked that I got to install it already, and the wheel spacers and the 35s are scheduled to go on tomorrow. If everything goes according to plan then I'll be rolling on 35s by tomorrow at noon.

This sounds just like me. I've certainly never been working on the 4Runner or browsing T4R instead of studying for a test or trying to force something in before a lab haha.

Truck looks great, should look even better on 35's!

Yeah it's just one of those things that happens haha. I probably should be better about it.

And thanks man! I can't wait to throw them on today! I'm hoping all goes well.
 
Round 2: 35s are on!!!

So today I went back to the discount tire where my buddy works and we tried fitting the 35s on. Well with the 1.25" wheel spacers they fit!!! Now of course they rub in the areas you would expect, pinch weld and the bottom part of the fender. But as far as daily driving goes, its not bad so far. I head back home to Houston tomorrow after work and that requires a bit of highway driving, so I'll post some information about that. But here are some pics of todays work:

Came back home to Houston for the first time since school started. I got a lot of hw to catch do and class information to catch up on, but I figured I'd post something lol. I placed my new decals on the back window, and my buddy came over and we snapped a few pics before we headed back to school. He goes to TU (The University of Texas).
I got my alignment done at work, and it's the best feeling in the world when the boss of your department checks out your ride and thinks its badass.

I definitely need to trim the fender area and fix the slop in the steering wheel with some jb weld in that one joint. I hope I get a chance to fix at least the fender and the pinch weld today before I leave.
 
Good Stuff man!

Great work man hella detailed! Good to know there is another Indian out there that appreciates the old runners! I have a 98 Limited 4x4/locked. Before I had a 96 sr5 4x4 "ghost runner" thing had so many problems! lol but def would like to get in contact with you and ask questions on the build! Ill send you a PM
 
So a few updates, when I went to houston I had a chance to fix some of the rubbing with the 35s. I cut some of the fender on each side and i also pounded some of the pinch weld. Ill have a better chance to do it this week/weekend hopefully. I also got my d rings in, except i need to pick up some ballcock washers to make them not clank.
