yup 32s.
so after the last adventure in the mountains. i did some damage to the under side. i quickly found a used bud built automatic crossmember. new goes for 400 plus shipping. ekk. i was able to find one for 150 plus 40 to my friend that picked it up for me. it was only installed but never saw damage. anyways i got only 1 of the 2 parts installed. as you can see my crossover pipe is in the way so i will need to change my pipe or mod the skid plate. im leaning towards mod the skid plate to where it will wrap around the crossover for added protection. i not too worry about having more clearance at this time.

So i've got a 91 4runner (IFS). I was wondering if it would be okay to lift and put 35s on it. I love offroading but I really know nothing about cars. I was hoping i could just do a 4in suspension lift with some minor trimming and throw some 35s on there and switch the gears up, any opinions?
this is a 87 but should be the same for 2nd gen runner

this looks like the rear bumper im gonna do. its a weld together kit or buy compete. im not sure on the rear lower tubing but since the side armor is HUGE. a little tubing should help the weight out i guess. im just worry that it hangs to low since i tend to drop of on rocks all the time. runners are to long in the rear lol

should be getting my sliders installed soon, gonna talk to the install that also builds bumpers on the side. see what my options are, if that fails, im gonna get the CBI one, weld together kit so i can mod the bottom a little to fit my needs
went to toyota training for three days in a JEEP haha saw these three on the toyota HQ lot, not sure if they where demos or employees.

you have to email him. he sells a weld together kit for like 399 and complete for 850. we both have the same front bumper and this is the only production plated bumper that would some what match. i just dont like the jerry can holder sticking out so far and spare tire at an angle
