I have a 91 4runner that ive had for about a year now. i want to make it something along the lines of a crawler but that can be a daily driver at the same time. its basically all stock so what should i do to it? im new to this type of building.

 

Before the tigers come in and rip you apart..

SEARCH! There's literally thousands of threads and posts and FAQs containing more than enough information you could ever need. Just type into google "yotatech blahblahblah" whatever you're looking for.

If you want to crawl, invest in some good tires. 31x10.5 is a good stock size, 33x10.5 or 12.5 will work, too, but will require some hammering and prying to make them fit. Anything bigger will require more serious work. With bigger tires, you'll want new gear ratios to turn the tires more easily. Almost synonymous with better gears are lockers.. There's lockers of all different brands and prices, all of which vastly increase your trucks ability to crawl. Do those three things, and you'll truck will likely go anywhere you'd need it to.

IMO, I'd invest in armor FIRST before any off-roading, to better protect the sheet metal. Sliders are a necessity, then bumpers, skid plates, and diff armor.

Again, search around, and you'll find more than enough information. Read through build threads, figure out a plan, save, and make it happen!

Or, get right out on the trail and buy what you think is necessary when it inhibits your ability to conquer the dirt.

Good luck!

 

X2 what he said ^^

 

Go thru threads that have what you have in mind and you will find tons of information there and will save you a lot of time and money as to what they did to their trucks. Googling like mentioned earlier will help find all kinds of information for you as well. Get involved in other peoples builds and they can point you in the right direction on how you want to go.
