Lee's 2006 4Runner Sport Edition

lol no worries Lee, hell when I first heard that you could load the NG TOPO into a stereo, I thought, no way, lol but looked around, and sure enough, check out the FJ forums, some really good write ups about it,

Today i spent almost 2 hrs going through the whole truck giving it a good clean up and decided to use the time to go over the frame too.

The rear most parts of the frame had a good amount of surface rust and the drivers side inner frame rail had a few pretty good spots. I wouldn't be surprised if in like 5 years there was a hole or 2 in there if I hadn't gotten to it. People with 4th gens in places that use salt on the roads, please check your inside frame rails!!! The seams in the frame are particular rust magnets.

I took my wire wheel to a couple spots at the back of the frame but it was really weak surface rust so no biggie.

Literally the whole frame and rear axle is entirely coated in gloss black now though, it looks goooood.... I chose gloss black because it's more goopy than regular paint and I found it to stick better when I used it on my 91.

i bought the 1" cornfed leveling kit today.

Even though my tires are brand new, I can't stand them. They're the stock dunflop pieces of crap. So I'm installing the leveling kit and throwing 32" revos on it. That should improve the look and keep me happy on the road for a while.

Revos are the best road tire ive ever had on any vehicle... they are awesome wet and dry... not great off the road however (except they do exceptional in the sand at pismo )

put the leveling kit in

very slight difference... i was expecting more.

still not sure if i can fit a 32 in there.

[p nut]

You can fit 32's in there.

And maybe I missed it, but didn't you have a 91 pick up or something? What happened to that project?

[Lee]

i sold it.

I havent had any time to wheel in ages, and it was just sitting there collecting dust and rust.

I'll get back into the sport eventually but for now I have too much on my plate with a 50 hr work week + 2 grad school classes.

The 32's are going on today I went with the Revo 2's.

32" revos are on

sorry for the crappy pics.

how are they so far? they look like amazing road tires...

[Lee]

Only put like 3 miles on them so far, so I can't judge, but they ride smoothly and are quiet.

I'll report back with more after a few more miles

I did hit the throttle over some wet leaves and it just barely triggered VSC, so the grip is certainly 100x better than those stupid grandtreks.
