612to303's 1987 4runner build up thread

Hello everyone!
My name is Tyson and I live in Aurora Colorado,
Been lurking around here but havent posted much.
Thought I might put one of my trucks on here.

Here she is, 1987 4runner SR5 I picked up for 500 Bucks awhile back.
When I bought It, nothing was wrong with it except for a small gradual oil leak coming from a timing cover bolt.
The truck has power everything
Has the Inclinometer thing
Has the custom Rust Holes in the back of the quarters(I Call Them Back Seat Air Scoops).
I did the rear suspension coil mod with XJ coils to get rid of the sag.
Cranked up the torsion bars just a little bit for just over an inch of lift in the front.
Here are some picks of my truck.



Here are some pics of my custom rear panels in the back interior with locking storage compartments.


Here are my custom rust repair panels

Thanks for reading!

new tires

So Today I picked up a set of Super swampers SX 35x15.5R15s with some pretty good tread on 15x10 Black Steelies in good condition for 350. Test Fit them today and they fit perfect for some reason, still going to do some trimming but I did a steering test and they can almost go lock to lock before rubbing, is this normal? It seems to good to be true but I drove it around the parking lot and it turned great.
Here are some pics of the test fitting.




Thanks for reading

With only 1" of torsion bar lift and no trimming, I'd say it's fairly odd that there's no rubbing. However, it is plausible because it looks like you have the correct rim backspacing.

I like the interior panels, too. They're very different
