My 1990 Toyota 4runner rocking 38" tires

This is my 1990 Toyota 4runner.
It is fully equipped to handle the most demanding terrain , mostly the Icelandic artic and glacers.

*it is fitted with 38" **** Cepek tires on 15" x 14" wide wheels

*and also equipped with a steering shock and a steering jack to help with the strain with those tires.

*Lower gear ratios of 5.29 with no-spin locker in front and Lsd lock in rear

*90 liter auxiliary fuel tanks ( stock tank is 60 liters )

*The body is only lifted 4" .

*The fenders are cut to make the wheels fit and fender flares added.

*Brake hoses made longer and axle breathing moved higher.

*BMW AC converted to air pump and 10 gallon air converter, used to pump air in the tires after the air pressure in them has been falling down to 1psi for better float on top of
snow

* Engine adders are - aftermarked headers w. 3" open exhaust , and a K&N air filter.

*equipped with a Garmin GPS 182 software.
two ways of communicating is CB radio and the tait VHF.

* working lights on the sides, extra electrical system , 2 large 120 W Hella lights in front , High-lift jack , Two roof racks



*I've had this truck now for 5 years.
Last 3, it has been in big time rebuild.

full repaint and most of the rust removed

Sweet ride dude!! :bigok:

Most cases in the snow i would choose a sled but in your situation, im not sure which would be better. I might keep the RMK on the trailer and stick with the TR4 on 38's!!
 
Just saw this thread for the first time...Nice build. You and your friends have some seriously built snow trucks. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun and you don't have to clean up snow like you do mud.

Have you ever been stuck in the snow with those 38s? I'd guess it would be tough to do.
 
Awesome pics and a VERY cool ride, looks like an awesome time! Be careful pulling that tube bro, had a very unfortunate accident with a schoolmate back in high school, kid swung around the truck as a car came out of no where going in the opposite direction, killed him on the spot.

Keep the pics coming though, I think that looks like a blast!

Yes, of course, but then you just have to take more air out of tires or get buddy to pull a man up or start to shoveling if no one is around.

thanks guys , here are more pics

38s

Nice rig! What engine does it have in it?

The scenery is amazing. I will be doing a 10 day motorcycle tour of Iceleand in September. Can't wait to see some of it.

Cool!

I ride a KTM 690 Enduro R here but will be renting in Iceland. I hope to get something similar, light and dirt-oriented.
