87 4runner daily driver

Hey guys first post on here trying to figure it out still. Just curious what everyone's opinion on a some what agrees I've tire for off road but still works well on the street. My rig is stock no lift. Just added add a leafs to the rear to eliminate the sag. I've been looking at bfg km2 and bfg ko2. Possibly 31x10.5??

Here is my 87' on 31x10.5... Work great for me. If you look/read around, 32's should fit fine too. 33's will rub.


*** Has ZUK mod, new bilsteins in the rear etc etc

It is going to be a compromise.

Just what is your daily driving ??

A few miles of county county or State roads at 45 to 55 mph??

50 or 60 miles of Interstate as fast as the truck can go ??

Then Washington has many different types of off roading

What is your type ??

I work a few days a week at a bar and work the rest of the time as a fabricator/mechanic all in the city of Portland. When not working I'm typically out in the woods... Truck does perfectly with both although I do put the hard top back on in the winter. Ive built a ton of cars, trucks and motorcycles over the years and in terms of something that is truly "all purpose" the 4Runner is it for me.

Usually 10-20 miles of town roads. Sometimes 100 miles.but off road use is logging roads some jeep trails. I get all seasons, so snow functionality is a big thing.

Nice! Is that an opening for a snorkel on your fender? What happened?

Yeah haha that stupid thing. I live in Washington state and yeah it has the most rain but I live in the desert side of the state so I don't really need it. But I bought it with the snorkel on it. But was just drilled through the side. So I just took it off and am looking for a new fender.

I see. Stil a good way to keep intake farther from desert dust than stock location behind the grill. If intake is routed to it, u cud simply get louver /grill for it, to keep rain out, just like in Range Rovers and Mercedes G - Class.
