Welcome, that's a very clean looking 3rd gen! That was a great find!

What mileage/power loss was there with the 265s?

 

[edough]

^I got 265/75r16's so its not exactly the same but pretty well close.

To be honest, I drive pretty slow and I don't notice a difference. They are Hankook Dynapro MT's.

OP, how's the noise with those MT's so far? Looks rad...

I've had her now for about 6 months and I have just fallen in love haha. She came through the dealership and had only 85,000 original miles on her and I couldn't pass it up. Local buyer drove it to the grocery store and back for 15 years... And now she's mine. Before I took any pictures of it stock, well, before I even drove it off the lot, I had them put on a 3 inch lift with Bilstein shocks, and 265.70.17 Toyo MT's on some XD series Addicts. Pulled the running boards and a couple months later I did the deckplate mod. She's a 3rz 5speed so a little under powered right now after the lift and tires but getting some pricing now on regearing and I have some plans for the future. Loving the community on here and glad to be apart.

Those wheels look sick!

Thanks, I need some MTs bad for a look transformation.

I have a new set of toyo MTs on my F150 and they are really quiet. They ride a little rough though

That is a beautiful runner. I would love to have one with 85k.. It's brand new still.

Thanks guys!! I actually ended up selling that one and finding another in Mississippi! But I found another gem. 1999 4runner Highlander edition with 119k one owner. An older lady was driving and couldn’t shift anymore .. (it’s a 5speed).
Got it for a great deal and now I’m starting to build it. I love it way more than the last one .. though I do have some great memories in the first haha [MENTION=3312]tv4184[/MENTION] [MENTION=209918]TRT87[/MENTION] [MENTION=166450]phatjoe[/MENTION] [MENTION=208822]kale2s[/MENTION] [MENTION=210486]Nooga_Rock[/MENTION] [MENTION=210651]thetech13[/MENTION] [MENTION=210670]Parkss1181[/MENTION]

Great find! Those 5 speeds are a grail find. Do you mind sharing what you paid for it? No big deal if not

 

[alexjmoon]

nice rig man, i like

I paid $9850 + $400 for airfare
I flew quite a ways to pick it up and then drove it back to Seattle. Then three months after that drove it back across the country when I moved to Florida. It’s been great so far and it was what I wanted so I’m happy. Lift and tires are coming in the next two months so I’m just figuring that out now.
