Just finished my 3" lift, it's now the perfect height IMO

dude. you drive a diesel 4-door hilux. we can't get those here in the states. any height you drive it at is perfect.

although, the ride height does look sweet

 

Did a lot of scrubbing and rinsing off at first, then used mothers polish along with the powerball with a drill. Applied mothers polish to the PB and slowly worked my way around applying polish to all areas then I pulled full speed on the drill adding additional pressure as I worked my way. Wheels do have some hard build up that won't come off but it think that may require a bit of sanding, which may hurt the clear coat. Using the PB definitely cut time in half, I was done in about an hour with good results compared to when I first got them.
As far as road manners, they're "ok." got some hum to it but not so bothering. Although, they're rubbing against my front valance lip so that may have to come off. I love the ride height and love the look. Thx for the support!

 

Yep... It looks good with 32s!! How bout you throw in a 1" BD lift to get rid of the rubbing? Man, I hope they start making those tires again, can't find them anywhere!

 

Thx. The plan is to add a 1 1/2 BJ spacers and adding a add a leaf. Maybe crank the T bars to help compensate for the add a leaf and then I should be set for my DD.

 

This is my new to me 86, soft top 3" lift currently on 33-12.5-15
I will put 31-10.50s



My truck is the same age as me.

300,876 miles on it I think it's broke in

 

That soft top is awesome!! I have seen one around here but this is the only other one I've seen. You should post some pics with the top down.

Awesome !! and welcome to the forum

 

got a chance to do a little wheelin' this past weekend. i was leading the way...



it was a bit over 45 degree. i made it fine and on the first attempt. this little guy struggled a bit...



wish i was able to take more pics of my yota wheelin'. maybe next time...

 

Looks like fun!! Wish I was there but you need to invest in lockers I love that I have my rear ARB and I'm itching to build the front. Nothing better than more traction.

 

^ so true... i'm seriously considering sas. hopefully before summer.

 

Picked her up last month. She's an 1987 4Runner SR5 Turbo. 107k, Digital Dash, Inclinometer. 22RTE with a Automatic Tranny. Ive been looking for one of these for years and I finally found a clean black one. I plan on replicating my dad's 88 he had when I was a kid. His was also black, but he had some awesome ass centerlines on it. Looking for a set. =D Truck needs a headgasket, but I'll use the opportunity to rebuild the motor, add an intercooler and convert it over to a 5 speed.

Towed her home with my friend's 94.


My current line up. My 84 Supra that I just converted over to 5 speed, about to install the coilovers soon. My 87 Supra Turbo I'm getting rid of soon. And my 87 Turbo 'Runner.

 

Moved the signals and removed the bumper

 

Hey Bis, where did you go in Fresno for this? Looks like some good fun!

 

I was actually going to drive the 8-6 to work today. But it has rained for about a day and I discovered the gap between the top and the drivers door allows water to drip right on the drivers seat so I took the car. I have alot of work on the top. I want to find a hard top like a jeep. But that is a bit down the road
I need the 31-10.50s first. I like the mickys but they Arnt the best for road travel.

 

pine flat off trimmer springs rd, second bridge, past the sierra national forest sign.

 

Very nice 4Runner man! The new tire and wheel combo looks awesome! Are you running any lift?

 

No lift, just has the Zuk coil springs and cranked T-bars. Should be a 1 inch increase over factory height though.

 

I've had a 1992 standard cab for around 5 in a half years. Just bought my new baby last night! Lets see if they post correctly haha

 

oooh... pretty
