Probably gonna run some 34's maybe 33's Depends on how much overall lift i gain. But I am trying to stay away from the 35's because I don't want to have to take out all the plastic etc. I am either looking at powder coating my stock rims or getting some AR 15" rims as well. Depends on if I want to change the backspacing.

 

sounds cool! I thought about painting my stock rims, if you do, post some pics, i would like to see how they turn out.

 

Planning on it theres a place near me called crosslink that said they will powdercoat them for me I just gotta get a price quote.

 

Don't want to hijack but
I have one with 4.10 I won't be needing anymore with a.d.d. 100 plus shipping and if shipped grayhound should be pretty cheap and there in 3 days.

 

Probably get a better response if you pm him. And heres more pictures of what I did today. Installed the oil pan and rebolted the diff and put the front grill on. The chrome on the bumper looks bad with the black grill but luckily I have an ARB waiting to be put on.. just gotta get that winch

 

And a few more pictures... notice the white oil pan








Got a little gasket maker on the radiator and hoses :x clean that off tomorrow...

 

just thought I would post some pictures of my new tires...

 

Was unable to complete any work today had to clean up the shop I am hoping to get almost all of it back together tomorrow, but I am leaving for europe friday and when I get back I am on a 2 week break so this project will be pretty much dead until then

 

Back from europe and am working on my front axle today, cleaning it up and gusseting it I hope.. Will post pics later. (lower gussets.)

 

Well, I decided to scrap rebuilding the 3.0 and I am going to swap in a diesel I think, and at the same time convert it to a manual tranny. Then I will have some more torque as well. Now I am wondering where I can get a diesel hilux motor and all the stuff I need to get this done. Anyone have a link on any threads on this?

 

sounds good

just my opinion, but I'm not liking the whole mesh grille. I really don't like how you can see right through it and see all the radiator and stuff. Oh well, better airflow I guess

PS check out the diesel swap section of this forum-

Thanks didn't even realize there was a diesel swap section I think ill be looking into the 2L, 2L-T and a VW TDI diesel. Just gotta look at the options and do a lot more research.

 

Oh, and I agree with you on the grill, I am looking for some heavier mesh to stick in there. >.>

 

2L-t Would be better than 2l, I've heard a 2l in a 4runner can be a real dog.

 

Ok so i went in to school today and spaced out... timing... point the cam arrows straight up. and the arrow on the crank at the oil pump? anyone have a pic of this? or a link? I can't find one >.> and the rotor at #1 found that in the manual... any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

bump : /

 

Got my timing done today and I removed the stripes off the side of the truck, looks really nice with the running boards, mud flaps, and stripes removed. Heres some pics of the timing situation.

 

Forgot to mention, did i put my fan on backwards? I couldn't figure that out, I looked at the shroud and i think I did, thanks.

 

Oh and one more question, how do I advance it 10 degrees? which way does it go? Right or left?

 

Got to the cool part... Im waiting for the headers so I am doing interior work... installed my cb, mag light, fire extinguisher, and external speaker for the cb.
