Love your 4runner

Here's my old 85 4Runner, 37" MTR's, around 3" of lift in the front and less than 2 in the rear. You can fit whatever size tire you want, it just depends how much work, time and money you want to spend in the process.

Hey loser, there is a feature on here called "Multi Quote."
Might help make it easier to reply to multiple posts at a time.

If you don't do it you're banned.

Just kidding - hey man, I agree with you on staying as low as possible and sticking with the 37's.

Are you going to try and go for what Adam did to his rig?

I can't believe how many people here and in your thread over on ttora failed to read your first post....'an '85 with IFS etc' and did not realize the truck in the pic's wasn't yours

Either way I think 4Runners with 37's are awesome looking...I might be getting lucky and trading my new 33's and some other stuff for a set of 37's...just as a result of your thread and the one on Pirate (been admiring that 4Runner since he started the thread..

You would be surprised at the number of people who don't bother to read anything in a thread and post. I'll let you field my PM and email for a day...and enlighten you.
