SoCal T4R - San Bernardino Mts. 6/13/10

Yep yep...that was a good time even though it was a "shorter" run. We gotta get something together again soon. I want to hit dishpan next time. Maybe two weekends from now? Eric, I'll assume you'll have yours fixed up by then?

I'm down for dishpan in 2 weeks. We need to make it 4x4, lifted, 33s, sliders, and rear locker mandatory though, dishpan is a very tough trail - nothing like what we did yesterday.

33's? Dang. I think mine equal out to just under 32" or something.....got everything else covered though.

 

[brian2sun]

Yours might not measure 33" exactly, but 285s are considered "33s" so you'll be fine.

 

[flyte74]

Yeah, that's cool and all but I'm running 265/75......

 

[brian2sun]

That's right, I forgot your A/Ts are 265s (they look bigger). Being that you're still locked, lifted, and got sliders I think you'll be ok. Driffter33 has done dishpan on 265s, but 33s are better.

I agree I have trail damage from 265s without sliders. But you can make it .

Hopefully ill have my sliders on be for our two week trip.
I'm in.

 

[brian2sun]

Lookin good man!! Weren't you gonna paint your wheels?

 

[driffter33]

That is the I just didn't have time before I had to get them mounted balanced and alignment. I can still paint them one at a time just mask off the tire.

 

[brian2sun]

That looks friggin awesome now.

 

[twitchee2]

Had a great time. The daughter kept saying "more bumps, more bump!"

I can definitely tell that it's time for lift and tires. Buying the rubber tomorrow and the lift right behind it. Just saw that I need steering bushings as well, so it'll be a weekend of fun for me soon. Anyone in SoCal (San Diego) looking for a place to work on the truck in a few weeks, hit me up and we can have a lift party.

Alas, no Dishpan in my future for obvious reasons.

Hey man, hit me up when you're ready to install and I'll see if I can make it down. I did mine by myself and it took me a while, but with two people it should go rather quickly. If anything, I'll stand back and laugh while you deal with the PITA nut for the rears! Do the fronts come assembled with the SS lift that you are ordering?

BTW....my girls were asking about "their new off road friend" yesterday....

 

[810moto]

No fun here, haha.

who knew you had hydraulics on the 4runner

LOL, "where da girlz?"

I just got an offer on my Merc E55, so lift may be much sooner than later now. I'll post up when it gets close.

If I did not have to go to work that day I would have gone with you guys!! Seems like you guys had another great day of wheeling, thank's for posting the pics.

Sorry for a necro on this thread

But sweet trip guys, that definately looked fun.
Kinda looks funny though seeing the random offset Jeep with all the T4R's.

I have a question to, for whomever is rollin w/ the silver 4R w/ the roof rack & deflecter. Where did you get yours at?

& also, was your 4R running stock lift, or was it lifted a few inches?
I'm tryin to fit on a 32" onto my '92 but don't think I can do it, I'd have to cut out some things, or just go w/ a 31"

The rack is a Ralo Vortex Cargo Basket (Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Rola 59504). and the deflector is from Thule.

My Runner has a 3" lift and a 1" Body lift w/ 33's.
If you are going to do a lot of wheeling i would go with the 32" and a lift, my friend has a 94 and he is doing a OME lift in the rear & front ball joint spacers the front . Should give you a 2 - 2.5" lift. (i not 100% about the front)
