This is my 1990 Toyota 4runner with the 3.0 v6 engine.
It is fully equipped to handle the most demanding terrain , mostly the Icelandic artic and glacers.

*it is fitted with 38" Dick Cepek tires on 15" x 14" wide wheels

*and also equipped with a steering shock and a steering jack to help with the strain with those tires.

*Lower gear ratios of 5.29 with welded front diff and Lsd lock in rear

*90 liter auxiliary fuel tanks ( stock tank is 60 liters )

*The body is only lifted 4" .

*The fenders are cut to make the wheels fit and fender flares added.

*Brake hoses made longer and axle breathing moved higher.

*BMW AC converted to air pump and 10 gallon air converter, used to pump air in the tires after the air pressure in them has been droped down to 1psi for better float on top of
snow

* Engine adders are - aftermarked headers w. 3" open exhaust , and a K&N air filter.

*equipped with a Garmin GPS 182 software.
two ways of communicating is CB radio and the tait VHF.

* working lights on the sides, extra electrical system , 2 large 120 W Hella lights in front , High-lift jack , Two roof racks



*I've had this truck now for 5 years.
Last 3, it has been in big time rebuild.

Thanks for the link. Too bad they don't make them for my 86' 4Runner. I sent them an email anyway seeing if they could make a set.

MaK92-4RnR

Are you really thinking about putting a set of those flares on?

hjalti_gto

i dont get it ?

MaK92-4RnR

reply was directed toward swimmer.

regardless, nice artic-built runner. I'm assuming its diesel from the sound it was making in the videos?

hjalti_gto

Well if you are rocking a wide wheels you need flares , who wants a truck covered in mud all the time ,

You dont need flares if you are using tiny 33"

No it actualy is a 3.0 V6 , worlds worst engine

GM lS1 V8 in the future.
