Power Upgrades for my Runner?

You can do what I am doing. Wait until they put a V8 in the 4runner again and buy it.

Gears are the only way to go

Just do the gears if you can find um. 4.10 would be just perfect. 4.30 OK but better with 285s. It's simple physics my man. Larger tires, more unsprung weight, more rolling resistence and you lowered the final drive ratio cause circumfrence increased. 4.10 should get your computer and tramission back in sync. so it doesn't start searching for the right gear. If you find 4.10s front and rear, be sure to post. Have not been able to find anything but 4.56 and that would be good for off road only. Added benefit, truck will pull harder at low speeds and have better overall gas mileage.

TRD please hurry

Contrary to popular belief, I love mods. I don't mod my 4Runner much because it suits me fine the way it is. Back when I was a mere lad I modded the hell out of my vehicles though. My mountain bike on the other hand has been modded a lot. You guys think the TRD wheels cost a lot at $400.00? Go price a Crank Brothers mountain bike 29'er rim. $550.00 - apiece. How about upgrading your rear gearset to Shimano XTR? Or hydraulic dsc brake upgrade to the Elixer taper bore master cylinder? Anything to get me going and stopping better. Anyway, I digress. I do like mods but I try to look at both sides of a mod (advantages/disadvantages) before doing it. I also like the mods for efficiency and performance more so than pure looks. Function before form I always say.

Try Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon with Enve AM wheels :cry2:

Like many I've always modified but I promised myself I'd leave this rig alone. Visiting this forum doesnt help :biggrin2:

Power is relative but for me it lacks so SC is certain - thought I'd get used to it. Love the way UFG8R's looks and I may go that route as soon as I research which "lift" is best.
