Damn that metric system is wierd... most people in California would kill to see gas prices at $1.50.....even if it was for one liter, it'd still draw in business. $3.03 here..... I think it'd be cool to go to New Zealand, even if it is almost all the way across the world from here...

Hehehe... Thanks for the offer, but I think plane tickets are pretty damn expensive, and I can't bring my 4Runner over there, so that wouldn't do me much good. Yeah, I'm in Cali. I'm near Sacramento. I think your next mod should be a lift of some sort, or some 33's or something. Yeah, I think Land Cruiser wheels would fit your rig. If the bolt pattern is the same.

For the 1st question: I can't see why not, but it seems like that would be a lot of work.

And the wheels, I'm not sure what size those are, but if they have the same 6 lug bult pattern, I can't see why they wouldn't bolt up, hell, there's even a guy on here with Cadillac rims on his 4Runner.

A 65? That seems a little old, if you mean 85, then it's a pretty common swap. There's literally probably about a hundred threads on here about the SAS.
