Re: 92 4runner build

Well here is the final update for the runner. The deal fell through with the rolled tacoma and a buddy of mine offered to buy my runner so we found a price and I sold it to him. I also sold my 38" SSR's since they have sat for 3 years. So now I'm on the look out for a newer 4runner or 4 door ta...

Re: 92 4runner build

Its been awhile since I've been on here. I think I've changed my mind a dozen times with the plan for this runner. I FINALLY got a plan I wont change. I found a wrecked 97 tacoma with a 3.4 which I will be picking up in the next few days. So the 3.0 is coming out and the 3.4 is going in and I will c...

Re: Finally good snow run 11-17-12

So that's what real snow looks like. Get it while you can! We're still waiting on the wet side. Late this year :frown: It was a good run. Snow was good but you could still feel the washboards in the road. We left at 9pm and I got home at 3am. We got to the warming shed around midnight and played fo...

Re: 10-28-12 Slush run

Its a place that snowmobiler's can go to warm up. Its stocked with wood and has a few tables inside. It is not open year round. I believe its open when they close the forest roads. So right around Dec. 1st. The few times ive been on a snowmobile I have not gone out that way. I think the Tollgate Tra...

10-28-12 Slush run

Heres a few pics from our slush/mud run. We went up tollgate and out to bone springs. (Around 6000 ft) Temp was around 50 and raining hard. Looking forward to getting more snow in the following weeks. I was in the jeep. http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/zz239/mudbawger574/DSCF1260.jpg http://i831.p...

Re: tire question

Unfortunatly they don't make gumbos new anymore. If you search on Craigslist you might get lucky and score a set but there starting to become scarce.

Re: 92 4runner build

Not really much to post for an update. Im rethinking my plans and I might save the 3rz for later and just rebuild the 3.0 and use the v6 tranny and t case I have. The runner is on the back burner for now since Im bulding up an 81 camaro for dirt track racing that needs to be done by before late augu...

Re: tire question

Ive only ran birds in the mud and they did decent but from what i hear they are only good on the street and for sand. Everyone around my area runs iroks, gumbos or a radial swamper tsl. Ill be trying out a set of grooved 38" SSR's this winter. There are alot of variables when it comes to a tire...

Re: 92 4runner build

Finally got some blades and decided to start cutting up the ssr's. Outer lugs will probably get an x cut in them.

Maybe in the future but not for now. I have gotten the axle tore down and am in the process of rebuilding it. Got my sky manufacturin...

Re: 92 4runner build

I'm not a fan of autos. My tacoma has one and I hate it. Did I mention this is going to be a slow build? :D I'm in the process of ordering parts and trying to find a 5 speed tranny and another t case for it. After looking at the engine I decided to rebuild it instead of just doing the head gaskets. U

Re: 2-5-12 Blacksnake run

The black yota is running 4" pro comp leafs and they've sagged out to 3". It's really low on 38s. He's cut a lot to make the tires fit.
