Lets see Toyota 4x4 trucks

[dwince]

Dwince, how much did those Stealth Custom wheels end up setting you back? I checked their site, but there were no prices.

I got all 5 for $700 shipped. They have a group buy on TacomaWorld.com. IIRC its only $580 for a set of 4.

[VertigoGTI]

Wow, that's a pretty good deal. I was going to go the route of 4Runner steelies all around, but for $600, that's hard to beat.

I was going to get stock FJC steelies before I lifted my truck. If you want some new steelies for cheap this guy has 45 OEM ones and they're priced great.

Super tempting, but I already have 16" tires. Too bad, those would be perfect!

Thanks for the heads up!

^^^ Would love those, BUT the wheels are more than my 4Runner was. And wheels that nice would be wasted on my piece.

Behold, my $900 2nd gen. I have GOT to get rid of those wheels.

I'll give you $1,000 for the 4runner and you won't have to worry about those wheels ever again.

[VertigoGTI]

No can do's-ville. I love this thing... just not the wheels.

Found a couple of people with steel wheels for $100-$150 for the set, will be checking them out this weekend.

[2deepn2dubs]

Leveled out my stance (my 4runner had Jetta sag) and I put the new wheels and tires...

Check out Summit and Jegs online. They have new steel wheels for around $50-60. You can get whatever size and BS you want. I think they'll mount and balance, too. I know DiscountTireDirect will.

No affiliation but this just popped up n the MUD Classifieds and I thought I'd pass it on.

You don't see too many clean, stock, well maintained, rust free 80's anymore, and his price is quite reasonable as well. Wish I had the coin.

Land Cruiser 1996 stock with factory lockers south fl
Hi,

I am located in south florida and selling this truck. It's in pretty good condition. Fully stock with front and rear diff locks. New battery, new michelin LTX M/S tires 8000 miles ago. The truck has 167k. Engine and transmission are both very strong. Recently replaced radiator and distributor. AC blows ice cold. The head gasket and heater hose were replaced last year. Paint is totally original. Never used for even moderate off roading. No leaks or issues. Asking $11,500. Here are some pics.

...

One more thing, the truck has no rust at all. I have posted pictures here: http://s1161.photobucket.com/albums/q503/kashif106/

I won't decline any reasonable offers.

...

Price reduced to $8,500
Just reduced the price to $8,500 because I need it gone. Posted on craigslist also.

Very nice Zstampe! What lift and tire size are you running?

I've been trying to talk myself into a used FJ Cruiser, but they cost 30%+ what a same year, same mileage 4Runner costs. I loved my 06 4Runner, I think that's what I'll eventually wind up with again (probably an early 4th Gen, V6, $10kish budget). I just can't bring myself to drop near 20 grand on a 100k mile FJC that I'll be pissed if I scratch up.

here is a pic of my new rig that is replacing my 03 tacoma


here is the build thread
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=761084

Seems to drive really well on the street. Brakes are spongy and need to be gone through, need to track down the small exhaust leak and it's leaking gear oil from the rear tcase but other than that she seems to be in really great shape. Also does anyone know the common leak prone area on the toyota t-case?

[dwince]

snapped this earlier today.

Thanks man! I'm running an OME 3" suspension lift and a 1" body lift. The tires are 285/70 17" nitto terra grapplers. Im pretty happy with the setup but there are always more mods to buy ha ha. Have you ever checked out t4r.org? Tons of good 4runner info there. Thats where my whole build thread etc is too.

One more pic for clicks:

[Sporin]

Yeah, I need to get back in there and dig through the FAQ. I had my big Land Cruiser when I had my 4runner so I didn't look into lifts much, it was a stock DD.

[VertigoGTI]

Also a fan of t4r.org. I joined up when I was shopping for a 2nd gen. Really helped out on what to look out for and what fixes and, inevitably, mods are needed/wanted.

Plus, they're a good group of guys on there.

[NorthGaTurbo'd]

Zstampe and I have sister cars. My mother in law has it now.



It's good to see somebody I know here


2006 Limited 4Runner lift and what not.

[Albertkvw]

looking around for an early 2000's late 90's Tacoma, these trucks have a pretty big price tag for miles and age. I know they are worth it just have to find the right one.

Are people really getting close to $20k for a 07 FJC with 100k on it??

My 07 has 42k and I thought I would be lucky to get $18k for it if I was looking to sell it.

[Sporin]

Lately I'm seeing more around 60-80k miles at $20k. Sp prices are coming down a bit.

[NorthGaTurbo'd]

It all depends of condition and features. A beat up 2wd and a 4wd TRD in great shape are going to bring very different numbers.

That thing is excellent! They look so good, especially in that color. I seriously want one as my next car and yours only affirms it. It makes a lot more sense then another lowered vehicle also. What'd you have before it? And what is your one big thing you love/hate about it?

I had a mkv gti before the FJ. I personally dont hate anything about it. The only downsides to having an FJ is you'll get other people who think it sucks because its not a Jeep or doesn't have a solid front axle.

This is my old car.

I always see them leak at the rear seal. Mine did it a month after rebuild. Its just where they do it. It happens on hills. Im trying marlin's eco seal and going to coat the splines in RTV to add another ridge to keep it from leaking. If you pull it out and go through it make sure to use the toyota FIPG get the orange.

Please tell me your going to lift that thing and get rid of the weird tierod.

BTW why havent we wheeled yet?

[dwince]

Finally got an exhaust for my truck. Nothing to special, just and MBRP catback. For $320 shipped and only an hour of installing, its totally worth it. +1-2 mpgs, noticeable low end torque, and a better sound is nice too.

[joefrompa]

Is posting your own frowned upon?

Just finally put some new tires on it. Trying to get it ready for winter.

[Brake Weight]

I like it. For sale?

[Visheau]

sweet video! Really enjoyed it

Looks like the perfect truck for when I am in Colorado hiking 14ers, perfect for the fire roads to the trail head...

[Trike Kid]

My '86 Long bed. 35's, no lift, welded diff and a cd player. Keep it simple, beat it often. It needs some more cutting in the rear and the firewall beat a bit more to clear the tires. Will be getting another set of stock rear springs or maybe some chev springs soon since the stockers are bent and don't sit level anymore. Might get nutty with my christmas bonus and put some better shocks and air bumps on the front. Should get a winch soon at any rate. Gonna push the IFS as far as it'll go for the time being. It's my only running vehicle so I can't afford to have it down for a week doing an SAS
