Which rig next for sixstring

[dutchman]

I don't have an adjustable or extended trac bar on my 4runner and it hasn't ever given me any trouble. If you search on t4r.org you'll find some conflicting opinions, but I think the general theme is that if you're 3" or less it's not super important.

Ok, the seesaw is swinging back and forth.

Here are my plans at the moment:

Keep the 33's and the 4.30s that the rig is coming with. Swap front struts, ucas, manual hub swap (maybe?). And take it camping more. Not much downtime, and since I don't plan on wheeling the snot out of it, keep it pretty streetable and not have to go to 35's. I'm liking this idea...

That thing looks sweet! If I fit in it, I'd drive that. Didn't those years have a v8 option?

I wish Marc, that's a 3rd gen (1996-2002). Only available with a 4 cyl 2.7L or v6 3.4L.

2003 and up have the V8? I was not exactly thrilled with the 4.0L Tacoma's I drove.

 

[sixstringsteve]

The 2003-2007? 4runners came with either the 4.0 v6 or the 4.7L v8. The V8's are tougher to find I believe.

so Steve have yo decided what your going to get ????

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm going to look at a 4runner tonight.

That thing makes me regret selling my 3rd gen

 

[sixstringsteve]

ah, I've seen that rig and wondered why it was priced so high.

Don't forget Bandit's 4runner: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/70298-bandit-runners-build-thread.html

Well, the search is over
I almost bought rot box's 2000 4runner sport, but Trokita told me about his boss' rig for sale. Its perfect. Almost too perfect. Its a 99 sport in amazing shape. Ill post pics later.tonight.

Awesome! Very nice 3rd gen, indeed...

Glad to hear you find the right truck.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks guys. This is the nicest rig I've owned. I'm tempted to add some sliders and call it good. But I love the OME lift so much, I may just lift it. I'm totally happy with it right now though.

pics??

 

[sixstringsteve]

Well, it's a black on black on black rig, and it's nighttime, so the pics aren't that amazing.

I feel bad. Both the guy and his wife were crying when I left. I can tell it's his baby, and I'm going to keep it super clean and baby it myself.

 

[sLcREX]

You should show them pics of how you cut off sheet metal and tub your previous rigs hahaha j/k. That looks sweet man. Pics are pics, at least were not in suspense waiting to see lol

 

[TROKITA]
