The 4Runner's New Treads

[amgraham]

33x10.50x15s. It's definitely a noticeable difference in power but it's not terrible. They ride nice and I think they look great. I have to hammer the pinch welds and trim the inner fenderwells but other than that they clear just fine. Lots of pics from checking clearance and all:

That's a nice looking 4runner. I have to do some work on my 89 4runner and doing the paint in a two tone like that is on the list.
Tires look good too. I am looking into running the 255/85's on my Tacoma, so the tall skinny is cool with me.
Nice!

Looks good man! I likey.

I like the truck :thumbup:. The two tone is like mine except mine is primer/dents. Holy clearance issue batman! Start cutting! This is all where it starts. I got my 86 runner in 1995 and I bought tires then I was hooked. My truck body is beat-up now and alot has changed. With tougher trails comes more carnage. Keep it up man it looks like a good ride.

Haha, thanks guys. Yeah, I've knocked a few dents and scrapes in it. The black came after I slid the rear quarter into a rock and did a terrible bondo job on it.

This is when I first got it:

I'm wheeling Crozet this weekend.. It was pretty gnarly last time I went there and it looks like it'll be snow wheeling this go 'round. I will definitely post up some pics as I expect carnage from myself and several others that are going. We'll see how those new tires do :D

Holy clearance issue batman! Start cutting!

It only rubs on the back of the front wheelwell. I'll pound the pinch weld and trim the liner before this weekend. I was actually rather impressed with how they fit since I'm practically stock height (t-bars tweaked a little, sagged out AALs and 1.5" shackles in the rear). I've wheeled it hard for almost 2 years like that on the 31s and really don't want to lift it until I can afford to do it right (full re-do of the suspension with some of my custom ideas in there).

look clean bro, nice look!

nice you might want to cut the fenders for more clearence

Yeah, the rears will get cut to get rid of the shoddy rust repair. I hammered the pinch welds in the front and trimmed the plastic liner and the fronts clear fine. I wheeled the crap out of it yesterday and the rears only rubbed when I was bound up under hard power. I'm pleased with how they do though.. The truck is much more capable now. Pics from that trip are up in Trip Reports.

Yours dont rub as bad as mine did. I am running 33x12.50 Procomp Xterrains. I had to POUND the pinchweld, and cut the fenders just a little bit, I'm going to go back and cut just a little more out of them also.
