They were ok nothing fancy, but when i was trying to pull that guy i got in some deep sand and had her in 4 low and was spinning all 4 but wasn't dinging me deep into the sand it was nice. but i was pleased with how they did in the sand.

 

looks great man! and i mounted the tranny cooler right behind the plastic valence to the frame.

From the front:


Kind of hard to tell, but this one is from underneath:

 

Oh alright sweet sweet, idk if i could mount mine there case in va we have to have lisense plates front and rear and well the plate would block that i think.

but on a side note went out tonight for my first night wheeling trip and let me tell you, thats a whole nother side to wheeling. but i did come to the concuslsion that i need more lights : ) haha. And i was coming up this step hill and if you go to far right u hit this good side rut and i forgot it was there. Nothing broke just nocked my tow out a lil on the right side. And oh yea it droped down so hard and then back up i almost broke my sun roof with my head and now have a nice little cut and bump on my forhead. Oh well thats all part of wheeling right?

 

Yea i sort of had the same problem with my front license plate. If you can tell, I lowered it about an inch an zip tied it there with black zip ties. It stayed until I changed bumpers and mounted it the right way. And the transmission cooler works great even with it blocked a little.

 

How has your acceleration decreased since the tire change? Thats something I'm most worried about.

Your an auto with 4.88s and I'm a manual with 4.56s so I'm guessing it should be about the same.

 

Whats going on in this picture? This fella looks sketchy...

 

hahah i didnt even notice that.

 

Haha thats my sister and her boyfreind, he was showing her something, ha but ya i no it looks a little sketch.

But about the acceleration it has deffently gone done when im at like a dead stop, but its not to bad just noticable. And thanks for that informarion 94Runner4x4

 

So I was adjusting the toe on the runner after knocking it out on the trails the other night and I came to the realization; You know you have done something right when you need to go buy a new jack just to get your front end off the ground.

 

More pics of said sister? hahaha.

 

So I was sitting at home today and i got pretty bored so i was like alright lets go see what i can do on the 4runner. So i get outside and next thing I know my muffler is unbolted from the cat and it sounds nasty. Its something that everyone should try and but not for long cause im pretty sure its illegal in VA so you no might get a ticket but it still sounds sweet.

 

just make sure you dont make any trips to virginia beach they will pull you over in a heart beat then pull out the measurin tape to make sure your not to high, then try to hassle you some other way. they suck out here but sweet lookin rig. thats the same set up im tryin to do

 

Ya i put the muffler back the next day of having it off, when ever i would drive around the cops always stared at me and i was thinking that one of them was eventually one of them would give me a ticked. But thanks, this set up has been working pretty good for me.

 

That looks great.

wait till you get a 5spd

 

haha oh man i wish i had 5spd in her, it might happen cause im not to sure how much longer this tranny is going to to last, anyone ever watching this tread ever put a manual in an auto?

 

Have you stuffed those tires yet? Any rubbage? I am worried about rubbing, I really want 12.5s but I know I'll be safe with 10.5s.

 

ive stuffed the rear and it was rubbing on the bumper and sence ive got the T bars cranked so doesn't really flex enough to put the tire anywhere where it would kill anything, but it does rub the inter finder well and it grabs the black plastic think and makes a noise. But i haven't had any problems with what i have around in (talking about trails).

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that is absolutely drop dead sexy.

 

Well I dont have a problem ing the rear bumper or front fenders. But what is this plastic you are talking about. Actually if its plastic I probably dont care about it either.

 

haha ya its not a problem to fix i just haven't gotten around to it, but the inter finder well all the way down on the bottem by the pinch wheld is where it grabs it.
