Those Tires are SWEET!
Whne you get out you will have to tell em how they fair...
I am looking into a new set of tires way down the road and want to upgrade from All-Terrains To Mud-Terrains, and Though i am loving My BFG I want to see what everyone else thinks of non BRG tires!!
Looks Sweet None The Less!

its at least an hour, just depends on where, and traffic, traffic is terrible, and thats being nice (this is a family forum,lol) I hate I-25.

neliconcept

yeah i bet, Atlanta is kinda the same way and times do make traffic better or worse.

I think im gonna be coming off I-70 (if thats the one) to denver from kansas as I stay overnight there for my first day. I plan on leaving thursday before my break and coming back sunday/monday and missing two days of classes (im so pissed off at this college I could care less)

lee

never say never on the sas!

if i were you though id buy a 99 or 00 4wd with an elocker and swap all your crap over so you can sas it with all that money instead of just ending up with a run of the mill 4wd 4r

neliconcept

way way waaaaaaaaaaay easier said then done on the trade and the stuff being pulled over.

sentimental value plays a big role in that as well

Localmotion

got pics of the badboys yet?

tc

Yeah, what's holding the bearings in and the wheel on the spindle? Did you do some research before just deciding you could run without a CV?

As for Fort Collins to Denver, depends a lot on where in Denver. North side of town,close to 25, traffic won't be too bad (depending on weather). I'm in Longmont, and "the Fort" is 30-45 mins from here - about the same as to the airport.

lee

it isnt easy, but neither is all the work youre about to do to bring it to where a regular 4wd 4runner already is, hahah.

just a suggestion... if im gonna start tearing things in my drivetrain apart, it will be to sas

for the record, im not just talking out of my butt, i am/have been thinking about picking up an older 4r, swapping my stuff over, and either keeping my 01 as a dd or selling it stock.

Ric

i checked today, right now i have 33,391 miles on my Firestone MTs, with a few trail runs in there. Im thinking Ive got about another 15-20K left on them, then getting another set.

neliconcept

yeah i know that, but the thing is i have actually gone to places looked at a 99 green highlander and even tried to trade it then, would have payed a decent amount for the trade in. just not worth it imo. I already have too many miles for a trade in anyways

neliconcept

well if a 2wd truck had wheel bearings falling out then ill go put a fake CV in.. it wasnt 4wd to begin with. im doing a conversion

all_terrain17

Oh. I feel dumb


I'll go back to my corner now.

x2

neliconcept

My fault guys, I should have mentioned that fully before.

Lee, SAS really isnt in my best interests anyways, this truck is my expedition vehicle, really nothing more then that, maybe some crawlin here and there but nothing beyond that.

calrockx

noooooo man, be the first to SAS an 01/02....properly. that's the keyword there.
mine won't be for many years down the line.

lee

its a passing thought.

i cant imagine i could ever be the first, im far too much of a n00b to the ecu's and all that crap to ever do this first hahah

i want YOU to go first

this wouldnt be an easy choice anyhow, ive had my truck since 44K, shes at 112K now and i have been through a lot with her

neliconcept

thats why im not trading!

neliconcept

roger that!

Cool, be sure to take lots of pictures and do a write up. I'm sure there are others out there who would follow in your tracks on this conversion.
