DIRTCO's 1986 4Runner Build-Up Thread
#982
I can't believe this thing hasn't sold yet, I keep seeing trucks that are not even close to being on the same level as this truck on craigslist for the same price, they ads don't stay up for long so they must be getting sold....good luck with the sale, eventually it will go to a good home.

Very well and clean built runner, love the thread and as everybody else I have to give you top creds.
I think it took me almost a week(part time) to really read through your thread, and I'd wish you would keep it and build on
My 85 truck has many of the mods your runner has, and was for 5years my DD.. I can see why you want a newer vehicle...
Although good luck with the sale.
Just a Q:
How would think of the newer MTR compared to the 37" you had on the green runner? I got 37" myself, and I'm thinking of 38x14,5x17 to the winter.
Which tire was the overall best? Like your, snowbashing is what my truck is used for as well.
On to read the thread on the green runner, thanks and keep up the good work

Thanks, I'm sure it will sell.
It's yours if you have the money!

I really like the new MTR's in the deep snow, they get good traction without digging too much. The outer lugs move/clear the snow, while the inner lugs keep the tire on the snow. I really think they are the best all around off-road/streetable tire I have found.
This is my friend Cory, he has the 40" MTR's. He fell into a tree well (the lower, soft snow under a tree) while backing up the trail. He was able to back out of this without winching or getting a pull.
This is how deep the snow was, there was a river at the bottom of the hole! Cory drove through it and I only needed a small pull.

no, don't know the place, but my sister has a place near Como and I'll be that way for Memorial holiday.
Gen Rite sells those louvers on 4WDParts also.
Some of my co workers think I'm nuts for taking my 4Runner with 237,xxx miles to Colorado on vacation. It's 1,000 miles (approx.) from Reno to Frisco.

Beautiful Rig
Hey love the build, ur bumper is wicked awesome. Hey kind of a random question, after putting a 5 inch lift with 35s, my front tires rub on the fire wall a little bit. Would 2inch wheel spacers help at all?
