Official 3rd gen 4Runners on 37's Pic Thread

[rkntoy]

Since there is a thread for 35's I thought I would get one going for the 37's crowd.

Looks like your rocking the stock lower arms at least. What are you running for your suspension, especially for the front?

 

[alanflies]

This will be a short thread...lol

Looks great on 37s btw...

Post reserved for when I eventually go to 37s

LOL!

Stock lowers and SPC uppers. Bilstein Tundra 5100 and TRD springs front, Superflex rear. 2" body lift and sawzall/body saw

Looks good! How does it drive with the 3RZ?

Much better since I swapped to 5.29s. Still doesn't like the mountain passes but the only time it did like passes was when I first got it and it had 225/75/15 tires. It gets driven everywhere and has been to Moab/CO and back twice along with lots of other road trips.

Wasn't it cute?

LOL. At least the running boards where off. Mine was bone stock. Now, not so much.

I bet those 37's and twin cases make some pretty hard obstacles almost casual. Keep at it man that rig looks good.

I am hoping the dual cases and 3rz will help keep the CV replacements down. If they start happening to frequently I will have to go another route...

You know as well as I do that the larger reduction and larger tires is gonna play hell on them. I'd rather snap a CV any day over something in the diff though. Wheel smart and see how it pans out but have two spares. lol

I only have 33's with factory Lo and I still have a spare in my rig along with the tools to swap if needed. Luckily, so far, it hasn't been. I gotta be honest though, for what I want to do with this thing 37's would be perfect. But then I'd have the exact dilemma your facing. Keep the IFS or SAS it. Keeping the IFS is way cheaper and I don't mind how it wheels so keep us posted.

Oh lord. The temptation!

You know... 38's is only one more inch...

She's begging for that extra inch

Dude, that video! You let er eat on that one [emoji1598] [MENTION=135317]rkntoy[/MENTION], between you and Connor- both having 37's on IFS- I really want 37's [emoji51]
We both know how easy a firewall tub is. Sounds like we're about to know how easy it is to do a firewall twice. Haha

You and [MENTION=135317]rkntoy[/MENTION] are making me want to step up my 3rd gen Oregon game!

 

[maclean216]

What brand of tire are you guys running? What do they actually measure out at?

Just let me know when you want to work on your firewall and I will be there.

I am running Cooper STT 37/12.50/17 on Level 8 Mk6 17x8 and they measured out a smidge under 36.5

Yup - the CV is the weak link in the setup and I carry 2 spares everywhere I go. In other rigs most of my axle snappage was from having a spinning wheel in the air stop spinning abruptly. It always got better when I went dual cases and fully locked as I could creep more instead of gassing. And when it only takes 15 minutes to swap a CV I can handle a few replacements. I also carry a spare non-ADD stub shaft.
