2nd Gen Owners with Black Rock Crawlers!!!!
I am trying to see what my rig would look like compared to the stock wheels if I were to put on some 15x8 Rock Crawlers.
Post pics please!!!!
I have a jet black Runner so I am thinking it would look pretty sleek if I were to have black wheels also, my wheels also have blacked out lettering on them too...man, they are gonna look killer!
PICS PICS PICS!!
HEHE

NCSU-4runner's pics
NCSU-4runner: those pics are great; your rig looks awesome! i love the black rims... now you've got ME thinking about a lift in the not-too-distant future.
if i lift it, will i have to dump my rancho5000 shocks?
what to expect for cost?
also, how do you like the surco rack? you have it mounted on a thule bar or something, no?

NCSU-4Runner,
I see in your pictures that you removed your factory front mud flaps. Do you happen to still have them laying around? If so would you want to sell them? I'm very interested.
Thanks,
Chris

Mad Chemist ("David") also just added block Rockcrawlers to his dark green rig.
He's got words and pics over here:

Hey, quick question to 2nd gen'ers, whats the typical backspacing for our rigs and what size rockcrawlers and tires? or what are most people putting on?
Im plannin to get some soon but am not sure how much backspacing is needed.

hey ncsu-4runner, how much did you have to torque your bars up front to make it level with the back, or did the SAW's do it? thanks, Kyle
you dont have to do a whole lot of torqing the tbars to level it out after the lift since the front starts out higher than the back. if you dont plan on doing a heavy arb or tjm bumper in the front dont to the SAW tbars, its not worth it. stock ones should do fine. i didnt know that when i bought em, i assumed you had to buy new tbars to do a front lift.
if i lift it, will i have to dump my rancho5000 shocks?
what to expect for cost?
also, how do you like the surco rack? you have it mounted on a thule bar or something, no?

Hey NCSU-4runner,
quick question, with your 33's on 15x8s, what backspacing are you using? It seems that i may go with the 15x8s, but not sure on the backspacing and probably run 32's. I'll probably be running with cranked up front torsions and the 2'' HD downeys in the rear, am I going to have a problem with rubbing? I wanna fit the biggest tire, without regearing and going into a real big suspension lift. What do you think?
doink
what is your backspacing at? and what do you think would be best route?
Thanks guys
Steve
PS NCSU-4runner
The runner should be back this weekend! Im pretty excited. Full rebuild with a P&P and shaved heads, lots of preventive measures and valves seated and correctly shim'd for a cam upgrade when i get the money. Thinking headers, but I've heard mixed thoughts on those. Any suggestions? After the engine mods, finally get into suspension and tires and maybe some sliders and lights, , it'll never end!
eventually, i'll come back to you for that engine swap

if you go with the 32s, with a slight torsion bar crank, and the HD downey coils, im sure you would experience little, if any rubbing.if you want to fit 33s, i believe you can add a 1inch BL ontop of that and run 33s, but dont quote me on that. i hope this has helped
