Official 3rd gen 4Runners on 35's Pic Thread

whips = rigs = trucks = toyotas = 4runners

Wait...I mean I understand rigs because it can be applied to anything such as my guitars, ships, trucks, oil platforms...but whip? I don't understand. I'm just not seeing the relationship between whip and truck. It really doesn't make sense. I'm guessing that's what my coworker means when he talks about his "whip" as he refers to his little G35? Idk. :nono:

Gears and lockers are at the border waiting for me (4.88's, e-locker rear, ARB front) and so I am stoked to get them on. The supercharger handles the big tires relatively well but it the mileage suffers.

Yes more info on these tires please. Have you ran them in the snow before? How are they? Do they manage just wet and dry roads well? I've always ran Blizzaks and loved them but since I've moved up to 285s winter tire options are few and far between.

how big of a gap is that between the body and bumper? im thinking of a body lift on mine and that gap dosnt look bad so what size boy lift are you running? i tried looking for a bulid thread for yours but couldnt find one
 
It's about time to see a winter rated tire in that size!!!
Yessir! I went with 35" winter's before mud tires... They're coming in the spring.

I haven't run them yet - should be able to put them through their paces this year. They were recommended by a fellow 3rd Gen owner who loved them. They're a pretty sticky rubber with lots of siping along with deep tread blocks - definitely looking forward to seeing how they perform.

I am running a 1" body lift but I have used a weather strip from McMaster-Carr to help fill the gap between the body and bumpers. It's worked out extremely well and I am very happy with the results. You can kind of see the strip on the picture you quoted, it's attached to the bumper, grips on to the edge and then protrudes upwards to help cover the gap. Before I installed it I had the ugly air intake showing in the back, now it's covered.

It helps that your truck and bumpers are black also, helps the gap really blend together looking out of place. A gap like that would look like shit on a silver truck like mine.
 
Dizzamm. My V8 powered Nissan Titan showed a good amount of power loss when I went up to 35's. I can only imagine how it is on the 4runners. Sure does look good though! Nice pics y'all.

Wow your 4Runner looks awesome!!

I just have 2 quick questions for ya. What brand is that front bumper? and what brand is your roof rack?

Awesome truck!

Yeah my bad lol. It's just a stupid term. Either way nice SUV's!
 
You don't have to regret it if you can switch up your order....

Well I am going to switch the order but just going to do a 305/70-16. Until I do upper arms I think its my safe bet and what I should do. Either way its a big tire. Plus I just ordered my new TG rails friday too so I've got money wrapped up in that.
 
that tire is amazing, i ran it for a season(in the 265 flavor) and did a couple snow wheeling trips with them, and a couple of weekend trips down to big lake -sisters area oregon, and they did wonderful i want to get another set, but i dont think i can justify the cost of a snow only tire, idk maybe i can though...

Thanks!

It's a Shrockworks front bumper that's been bed lined (along with all my armour) and the roof rack is a Baja Rack which has been trimmed in the front to allow the light bar to sit back (and mounts were added) and then I made up the front faring to help deflect some wind.

Ok thanks for answering my questions. I thought that was a Shrockworks bumper, knew i've been eyeing them up for a reason.

Again, looks great!
