where did you pick up those 6 bolt 16.5 rims ive been looking for some locally. NO GO . way to expensive to buy new. those 37s goodyear militarys are what im planning on running.

cant beat that price.

 

So how is it driving with the pineapple grenade shift knob? I thought about getting one but it looked like it would be kinda awkward.

 

I think those hundred dollar man rims are a good deal, I had the hardest time just finding steelies, finally found them at 4 wheel parts (who I hate) 75 bucks each.

I love the shifter! Its not uncomfortable at all

 

nice looking runner! summit racing has 6 lug 16.5 steel rims. price isn't that bad. i think it was around 80 bucks a rim.

 

found these on cl 37 14.50 r15 tires and wheels toyo mt....couldnt pass em up they still have stickers on them. i saw those 16.5 rims on 4 wheel parts but couldnt justify buying them. cant figure out how to post photos...?

 

summit has wheels for $65

 

i got the rims from 4wheelparts (who i hate more than anything but they were the only ones that could get them) $300

lengthened my driveshaft and took it out for a little testing

need to do a little trimming on the front, rubs bad when flexing and turning.
back rubs top of fender but ill be adding more lift soon. and don't mind the fender cuts

 

Nice, shifters... Nice truck too!!

 

What ate you running for springs and steering?

 

thanks!
4 in rancho springs in the front. stock steering for now but i just picked up an ifs steering box from the junkyard so soon it will have crossover steering

 

Did you move the axle forward any or is that later?

 

ya i moved the front up 2 inches or so.
took it out yesterday for some night wheeling, did great! even drove it on the freeway to get there! i had lengthened my front driveshaft by cutting it in half and adding a piece of of pipe. ended up ripping it in half, but my booger welds held! time for a square front driveshaft

 

finally put my new (used) tranny in so now i have reverse! yes!

 

Roll those fenders so you dont cut your tires when you flex out on the trail. Seen that happen plenty of times.

 

traded the 4runner.... sad day... but i do love my new scout
