Ripcord's 2002 4Runner Sport Ed.

[89s rule]

How many miles are on the 5150's and are ou planning on selling them? My factory 80 series shocks I am running on the rear are shot.

That thing is so sexy!!

Thanks!

Bout time you put some new treads on the Beast....:hungry:

Seriously! It was getting bad. Take a look at this side-by-side I just took with the old ones..

What rebates are you getting? I just bought mine but am only aware of the $80 goodyear rebate.

The goodyear rebate is only $60 on duratracs. Plus the Treadlightly rebate of $100, plus an employee rebate (helps having a friend in the business )

Oh, and nice tires too

Haha thats funny. Thanks!

Lol you sure? looks like an older F-150....! :bigok:

Otherwise, those duratracs are looking sick on your truck Rip!!

Its a taco fa sho! And thanks!

Where'd you get the Duratracs again? just that a friend is looking for a spare and maybe I could point him out to a better source...thanks bud.

Second pic^ is sick too!

Discount Tire (aka americas tire) Tire Rack had them in that size for $24 cheaper per tire, but shipping here to NM killed that deal.

I thought that too. BUT, look closely at the shape of the wheel wells

Edit: Sorry to cloud your thread Ripcord. Gotta have some fun ya know

Its all good :cheers: More exposure

^It's a 2nd Gen Tacoma.

The tires look great Rip and I'm looking forward to what you come up with for your shock mounts.

Thanks Robert! Its gonna be sweet when I finally do it, but it will be may before I do.

About 4k. I will be selling them in the late spring/summer. But also note they are eye mounts on top, which is not what normal 4runners use.

Ahh it is $60. Do you know if you can get the tread lightly one if you bought the tires before paying the $25 membership fee? I wasn't aware they had a $100 rebate.

I have no idea on that one sorry dude.

Did you used to live here or what?

Well I bought them used at like 50% and they lasted me another 14k miles to about 35%.

And thanks!

duuude, bloody brillant!
have you heard of ironman coils?
dude, it never fails that i lose half an hour on your thread when ever i come across it searching for something else.......yet, always enjoyable!

 

[4ever4running]

Yeah I actually grew up on the West Side of ABQ. We moved there when I was about 6-7 and I lived there until I went to college. Come to think of it, I guess I have only mentioned that in BFAD's thread...

Oh ok nice! Cant wait to get outta here! haha

Haha I felt the same way when I graduated from high school which is exactly why I went to college out of state. I definitely still miss NM from time to time though, especially the food. If you try to explain Chile to someone out here, they look at you like you are the dumbest person on the planet because they think you are talking about "chili"

haha thats so true about chile. and NM is awesome! it might not be as beautiful as colorado but waaaaaaaayyyyyy better than the midwest with all of their little hills

I couldn't agree more. I love Colorado and the Rockies but NM is a close second.

Its hilarious to see what they define as "mountains" here in Virginia, it definitely makes me miss the southwest.

 

[rickashay]

I like your new Signature pic man.... Your truck so awesome. I wish I had flares.....

 

[just_yul]

Ripcord, with your new 285/70/17 tires did you experience any rubbing? Did you have to do any trimming? Thanks in advance. Looks great.

Thanks ric! Always appreciate the kind words.

Thanks.
Its the same size I had before, and I wasnt rubbing before. Trimmed the front bumper, pinch weld, and replaced rear mudflap bolts with low profile ones.

 

[MuddyWater]

Green with envy, I especially like the Shrockworks bumper... well that and its supercharged. Looking forward to when I will be able to shell out for that and possibly a Persson rear to compliment. You've heard it before but that is an AWESOME truck!
:biggrin2:

Definitely a 2nd gen Taco.

Ripcord: your truck is looking pretty awesome!! I like how you transformed your signature picture from the original to the sig version... did you photoshop some glow in or what?

It's even funnier in the Ozarks. Was driving the other day, and in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the Ozark 'mountains' I saw one of those 'falling rocks' signs.

I thought "From where? Is there a cartoon boulder hiding somewhere?" LOL

Awesome truck; yours is what mine wants to be when it grows up. LOL

 

[CaliCal]

very nice

I'm liking the Rome Bindings too
