'99 4Runner Build: Clara

[Kevin B.]

I can't wait to see this thing in the spring. Pretty sure the first time I will see it will be the RME BBQ and you better go wheeling with me even if that means I have to go on a mild trail to go wheeling with you.

By spring, either this'll be on 37s or he'll be driving a Civic. Just watch.

You got it. I'll be there.

Does it sit any higher with the OME?

 

[sixstringsteve]

maybe an inch higher with the OME. It's definitely taller, but not by much. I need to take some pics.

 

[Bart]

It doesn't count without pics.

Steve you should look into this for your MPG issues LINK

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks, that link really helped. I'm going to do that.

This is my 3rd, 3rd gen. I knew it wouldn't get awesome mileage going into it. I sure love the rig though.

 

[TJDukit]

If you expect good mileage out of anything 4x4 with big tires something is wrong with you.

 

[sixstringsteve]

33's aren't much bigger than stock. It shouldn't cost me 5 mpg.

 

[TJDukit]

Fixed it.

I took the 4runner camping this weekend. A few things I noticed:

1) this car is almost too clean to camp in. Fender jumped in with muddy paws and got mud all over the seats. I normally wouldn't care, but this rig is CLEAN

2) I don't fit in the back. I have no clue how Andrew sleeps in the back of his, but there's no way I fit.

3) I like sleeping in a tent

4) I can fit more stuff in the back of this rig than I thought I could.

5) I need to swap out those thirds soon.

 

[frieed]

Was clean

... this rig is CLEAN

 

[zukijames]

maybe you could put fender on the roof like romney does with his dog

 

[Rot Box]

That's weird I'm 5' 11" and and I love sleeping in the 4runner One thing I found is a must have is my bed roll it really makes things nice and comfy.

Picture this, One time we pulled into our camp site as the sun was setting in a complete downpour of rain. My wife, me, my daughter (3 at the time) a Golden Retriever and a Husky all slept (and actually did sleep) in that 4runner

Anyway love the build its my 4runners doppelgänger without a doubt

 

[sixstringsteve]

Do you sleep.diagonally in the back?

How do you not fit? I don't know if you noticed, but you're small. I think you could stretch out in a Yugo.

 

[Rot Box]

Ya that and/or the fetal position.

I have noticed that...

I thought id fit for sure. I could make it work if the weather was insane.

 

[SAMI]

I think I'm slightly taller than you, and I fit in the back of my '99 just fine.

 

[Kevin B.]

I'm 6'4", and I almost fit in the back of mine, so you obviously need to sell this and buy a 1st gen.

Glad I could help.
