The set off my parts truck is 15" wheels with 31x10.5 R15 BF Goodrich KM2's on it. They are currently on my 4Runner.



The other set I got is a 5 spoke, they used them on the 1st gen Tundras and Tacomas. Those are the Dunlop Grandteks AT21 in 265X70 R16. They aren't on either of my Yotas.

I got my set of 4 with Mastercraft Courser ATs with 50% tread for $150, so I think your offer is more than reasonable.

Okey dokey, the 16's are the other ones I like also, first ones I liked was the aluminum rims from the 80's and early 90's trucks, but the ones you have are much better looking OEM toy rims.

Update, went looked at them and wasted a trip, tread were 6/32 left and that is only 25% left so took a pass, I'll keep looking.

Ps. also while in Indy I'm getting a brand new OEM tailgate that is freshly painted med. red pearl close to the color of my truck for 30 bucks, the guy totaled his truck while tailgate was being painted...just need to swap my hardware into/onto it...Not sure if I'll Leave it plain or get TOYOTA put on it? White letters?

Wow you're like me, finding these incredible deals! Nice work.

As far as the lettering goes, I'm having him make me a custom yellow "TOYOTA" decal for my 1991 Pickup. How about black for your tailgate?

Yellow for your black 91 truck tailgate? Yellow for me is to much :}LOL I thought about black, I went through all years of his listing for toys and black was available in the early year toys on his site, for all the 89-94 the colors were gold, silver and blue, Here is a pic of my current tailgate Toyota lettering...

Redo new one like old? Thumbs up or down?



Here it is using windows editing colored letter black, Thumbs up or down?



I too like you search CL daily, CL and salvaging and a few times ebay, Always looking for a deal, I don't need a new tailgate, but couldn't pass that deal up :}

Take lots of pics of the gauge cluster. Until I know why the turbo cluster won't work with a N/A truck, I'll always go "what if."

White? Wow, I would have sworn that was like a creamy silver color... Anyway, I agree! 100%

Great news on the Trans.... why? You needing a trans? Dang, I'm having trouble remembering with all this info overload lately, ya know? lol. 20 threads, 4 projects, 2 other people I'm helping, work, yard hopping.... I'M LOSING IT! hahahaha.

A motor will pop up if you're keeping an eye, if that's what you want. At that point, I'm going 3RZ or 1UZ, unless, of course, I find a RUNNING OR NOT COMPLETE turbo 22re rig! lol.

Have fun, man! I got some other seats, today... hopefully they'll work better.... G30, Charcoal Leather, spotless, 40$ at Pick-u-Part 50% off weekend sale! WOOT! hahaha

white, cream its all the same to me haha

I grabbed the trans because why not? It's a far stronger trans than the W56 and I got it at a decent deal. I've been toying around with turboing and now i actually have some turbo items... hmmm

You're gonna swap? Didn't you just rebuild your motor?!

Sweet grab on the seats! I looked today for some grey ones out of a 2nd gen 4Runner to put into my pickup but no luck. The only ones there were ripped and stained. I plan on going up to a different yard tomorrow, maybe ill have some more luck!

Yeah, good luck indeed!

And no, I'm not swapping anything into this....I'M DONE! lol. Just driving the crap out of it! lol.... I just meant... IF I were to swap in a motor.... I would not go through all the trouble of modding this up for a turbo 22re, unless I found a complete one like I was saying. But yeah, in mine? Nah, I would just go for the swap at that point. I'd rather do a swap by finding a motorless 85 4runner or 89-95 Extra Cab 4WD pu.

Yeah, that's a great find on the trans! You got it at Pick-u-part? Sale weekend, right? lol

I saw a digital cluster once in a turbo 4runner at a used car dealer, but he wanted WAY to much for it back in the early 90's, so wasn't to sure if that's what you had, I think I remembered it had a digital bar graph that showed boost or was it a tach or both, been a long time...And I'm old and forgetful ;}LOL

hahah alright that makes more sense, I was gonna say you're crazy if you'd swap!

And yeah i got it at the local pick-and-pull and every week a different item is on sale, this wasn't a trans week but I knew if it sat there another day it would be gone.

Yeah the digital ones are awesome! I think everything is digital not just the speedo.
