How are you rubbing on 33x10.50s with a 1" body lift? I have 33x10.50s with no lift, barely any pinch weld trimming, and tons of steel added in weight and I dont rub even when im wheeling.

 

Your running 15x8 rims I'm running 15x10.5...the backspacing on my rim doesn't help either.I'm sure if I ran 15x8 3.75 I wouldn't have an issue... I just love the look of these wide rims. If it becomes an issue wile on the trail then I may have to change rims.....I'm hoping I won't have to but we will see....

Me too - I LOVE the way my truck performs now with the 4:88's. Kinda wish I had gotten the 10.5 wide tires instead of 12.5 but whatever, I know better for next time.

welcome to the club Roni!! Congrats!

Now lets do some wheelin

 

Oh wow. I didn't know you were running a 10" wide rim. try to avoid airing down... you'd pop a bead in no time!

 

I've aired down to 20psi with out any issues....I'm aware of this possibility....like I said well see what happens I guess.


-RONI-

 

haha 20 psi is nothing! I've gone down all the way to 5-7

 

with the rims I'm running I didn't want to take the chance going below 20.

Waiting for gears

I think I figured out what the clunking noise in reverse is. I'm assuming I broke a tooth on my reverse gear. This fell out while draining the transmission fluid.



Guess I will be making a stop at the all japanese salvage yard when it finally opens.

Maaaaaaaaaaannnnn front diff. Is a pain! Eventually got it all back together though....fresh 4:88s ...feels goooooooood. Not sure if my speedometer is right? (Not that it was to begin with) ...wonder what my gas mileage will be?


-RONI-

 

Right on! Gears, eh? Nice to get up hills without rapping on the dash, yelling, "I think I can, I think I can", aint it? hehehe.

Trans time, eh?

 

Your rig makes me want to remove/paint all my chrome stuff even more. It's looking good!

 

Jeff I didn't even see this post. I'm loving the 4:88s. Thanks jeff hope to be on the trails with you sometime son.

More like "I think I might start rolling backwards!" Lol seriuosly though 4:10s on 31s on the 22re was bad. 4:88s is sooo much better. Sucks though...just got done with one project and already gotta worry about another big project....the transmission!uuuggghhh....no wonder I'm always broke....
Johnyboy I saw your build thread and I think dechrome would be a nice addition! Besides ide like to see more on that page!

The truck has needed an alignment for a looooong time now. (just look at the worn tires in my old pics!!) So I've decided I'm tired of having alignment issues!

Total Chaos idler arm

OEM pitman arm

and FINALLY a proper alignment!


Feels SSSOOO much better!

Also cleaned it up real nice

Dude, .... SICK! Seriously... that looks FANTASTIC! Quickly becoming one of my fav'2nd gen 4Runners

BTW, ....AMAZING you got that plate, especially in AZ! With LCE being out there, alone, I would think SOMEONE would have grabbed it! lol.

 

PS> Nice steering addy's... And DANG, you need a trans, too? What's yours doing?

Mine grinds going into 4th... That's about it. Lil stiff in a couple others, but otherwise good... Sux to have to do a trans over one gear! grrr! hahaha.
