Encountered a lifted solid axle 4runner (80's, no front driveline, sr5, approx 38" tires!) today on the interstate. We were both going uphill and I passed on the right lane. I gave him a thumbs up and he floored it. I dropped down to 3rd and floored it too. We were neck and neck until we were approaching cars and he had to slow down

Anyway, is it possible for this runner to be that fast stock? My guess is is it had a chevy 350. I doubt a 3.0 could keep up with my little 22re considering what we were both driving. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, only reason why I passed on the RIGHT is because I saw he had the "back off" gay mud flaps on his 4 runner so I had to see if it was a4runnerfreak

 

If it had been a 3.0 with 38's you would have seen the guy doing ~45 on the shoulder, especially going uphill

 

Which is it? You passed on the right or the left?

 

Werid,
kinda same story,
a while ago, my friend in his 2nd gen with 22re and my 87 22re were going up hill, he had his mud tires on, 33"s and i had my truck with 28" street tires.. anywho. He destroyed me uphil.. two weeks ago after i replaced everything over time and did my timing chain.. now with my 33"s and ihs street tires.. i passed him so bad haha. like, it was brutal.

 

Dude, your truck is not a race car. Why you even bother racing is beyond me.

 

You must not have read 91Toyota's other threads...

 

Because its a riot

 

lol, my bad, it was the right for sure. He was in the middle lane and I was in the far right. Typo

 

I know it isn't a race CAR...its a race TRUCK

 

hehe race truck it is them 2wd's are good fun
he probly had an engine swap

 

you havent posted in a while, were you grounded from the interweb for a month by mom?

 

Me?

No, just been sick for 5 days. Been working a lot. And have had a lot of stuff to do. lol. Why, don't like me?

 

Nobody likes you.....







Everybody hates you.

You should go eat worms..

 

I'm gunna miss you

 

no way man I love reading your posts, I get some good lulz from a lot of them. ...like the time you pulled your truck out of the ditch by wrapping the strap around the radiator LOL

 

lol...oh I see. It was actually wrapping the strap around the radiator cuz I got stuck. But I drove into the ditch another time. lol

 

Dude, my 3.0 would run circles around your lil 22re in reverse, let alone in any forward gears! And for your info, I don't run mudflaps on my BEAST. But it does say "POWERED BY YOUR MOM" on the back window.....!

 

Until the head gaskets blow. So maybe for like ...2 miles?

 

From a stop my buddy's lifted 88 3.0 5spd. SAS on 35s and 4.88's was pulling away from me slowly and I have a rebuilt (stock) 22re with full exhaust but with an auto / 4.30s and 30's.

 

All about gearing. 5.29's do wonders for 38" tires
