My truck that is! here you go 4xjedi's bikini kit installed




check out that backside comming soon CBI bumper!


my Co-pilot Rayna "hit more bumps daddy!"


There is something so cool about driving by heep people and watching them break their necks to check out my truck!! I'm such an attention whore

 

Sharp looking 4Runner!

 

I LOVE the 1st GEN. She's real PURDY

 

Looks great!! The black on black really looks sharp. Yeah it's funny to here what people say when they see these topless. Alot of folks seem to think we cut up a pick up and added rear seats .
The absolute best is having an auto-locker. Almost everytime I turn sharp in a parking lot someone comes over and says, "Hey buddy, you got some lugnuts loose", or "You got yerself a bad ujoint or something". It's a riot.

Thanks again for your support!

 

I like it....I have a black 89 too.....one day it'll be all black again.

You gotta keep us posted on those tires. How much did they set you back?? I'd consider em' if they had a 33x10.50 size. I am also skeptical of the brand....so yer my test rat.

 

Looks like my toy... Black and topless is the way to go!!!! sharp rig!

 

Nice lookin Runner.

 

Test rat here! about 1500 miles on them no apreciable wear at all, all road, no dirt yet, as all mud tires are they are noisy, not bad, yet not quiet, set me back about 150 each ouch! I thought real hard about the 10.5's in a bfg, but I really like the look of these. I'll post updates as I can>> Side note I parked next to my buddy's taco with 33" MTR's and these seemed much beefier and even bigger, both his and mine were brand new with the teats on em.

I love having the top off! let me tell you its also like putting an extra 25 horses under the hood! losing that weight! Actually spun the tires by mistake on dry asphalt, quicker acceleration as well
one more pic just because it l like it!

 

Wait are you using Firestone destination M/T's? I've been using those for a while, Ive got almost 18000 miles on mine since Oct. when I put them on. I got a lot of stories on these tires if thats what you guys are talkin about.

 

Looking good!

Do you have any pic of how you mounted the footman loops for the bikini?
I'm planning on putting my bikini top on this weekend.

 

Nice! 1st Gens look so much hotter topless, IMO

 

Check my review in the "Product review section" I can take a better picture if you like, just lemme know

 

What's your experience???

 

yes, Its a little late for me to change my mind, but lets hear about them thar stones....

 

Without having to wade through the post where Jedi is selling these things...

How much does it cost? and how does it attach? It doesn't look like it would stop much rain in a downpour...but might be a viable option (cheaper) than a Can-back.

Ah yes, sounds like driving an empty pick-up. Does the ride change much with the top off (aside from the increased fun)?

 

Well during my 18000 miles, i've had it in sand, mud, snow, rocks, street, ice and every concievable combination of them. I absolutely love them. Tread wear is awesome, i have around 17 to 18 32nds of an inch left on them, but i regularly rotate them cause of the locker. In snow they do great, they dig grab and go. I had to get down a hill to help some buddies get out, drove down there and then pulled them up the hill in around 8" of snow.... They do as well as any ordinary tire on ice, slippery, but livable.

Rocks and mud are where they shine... The hard compound is great for rocks, doesn't get ate up as fast as others.. Went playin on the rocks last weekend with a buddy who runs tsl's. after all the abuse, my tires where in way better shape than his, cause of the harder compound. Even though they are harder, they still bite and get ya through... I managed to go places he couldn't, but I think that was more due to the truck than anything else. In the mud they do good, my only complaint is I can't spin them fast enough to clean them out when im in some clay/soupy mud. Besides that they do a decent job of cleaning themselves out.

I've had no balancing issues whatsoever, between all 5. I'f had 1 hole, due to a nail, but that happens. As far as sidewalls, on the rocks, mine only had scuffs, no cuts etc... while the tsl's had visible cuts. Sidewalls are 3ply polyester while the tread is 5 ply, 2 polyester, 2 steel, and 1 nylon. I believe the MTR's and BFG's are all 2 sidewall and 4 tread plys.

Pricewise is what turned me onto them in the first place, I found them cheaper than the BFGs or MTRs, and am super glad I did. For a driver vehicle that needs some great traction tires that won't wear out in 15k to 20k miles, these are them.

My only complaint, i can't get them in 35's.

Sorry that was a little long winded, but it should cover it. below is a pic of the rock playin and mud to show what i put them through. If ya guys have any questions, give a yell!!!!


Mudhole donuts rock!


I went both up and down that hill

 

Ian, with my top off, I think the truck flexes a little more in the cab, has anyone else noticed this?

 

The whole kit (brackets, bow and bikini top) was around $150. It attaches using the 4 bolts on the top of the cab.


On another note I got the top off today and will be putting on the bikini this weekend.

 

Yep, I thought it was just me!
