Oh wow I totally missed that the 265/70 on the 4Runner is a 17 not a 16 like the Taco. Well that's a whole different story then. I actually ran that size on my Jeep for about 5 years 4 of those with my lift while I did other mods and eventually had money for new larger tires once the 265/70's...
Hey thanks for the info that was really helpful. Just curious do you know offhand what's the largest diameter tire you can fit on a 4Runner with either no lift or a small lift but no cutting? I'm assuming there are programmer tools out there as well to adjust the computer for the new size as...
I must be weird I like the way the front looks. It's one of the reasons I started looking at something besides Jeeps, it doesn't look pretty much like every other basic pickup truck. Something just doesn't sit right with me about the look of the Chevy stuff, the Nissan stuff is blah looking...
Thanks for the info. Yeah that's one thing I worry about vs. the Jeep is aftermarket support and I'm guessing the Tacoma is better in that area by a lot than the 4Runner. One of my favorite Jeep armor brands JCR actually has a sister company now Victory that is doing stuff for 3rd gen Tacomas...
Just thought I'd bring this back up. Been talking to the wife a bit and looking around and realized with the options I was looking at on the Tacoma, a 4Runner TRD Pro is about the same price (although I might like to actually figure out what was out there in previous years and buy slightly used...
Anyone use a Grand Cherokee? I was poking around on Carmax and noticed you can get a 14 or 15 with 35-50K on it for about $30K or so in the Overland or Summit 4x4 flavors. That's like 40-50% cheaper than new off the lot and is also like the luxury trims.
Yeah it definitely would be nicer with a regear. I'm running a manual transmission with 3.73 vs the 4.10 the Rubicon trim gets with manual. Also thinking swapping to an auto trans would be really nice but we'll see. You guys gave me some good stuff to think about though.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah that's been the plan. Just want to double check "the plan" before I get in too deep with spending on it after its paid off. One of the first things that was planned is a re-gear and lockers while it's apart because I put some 34's on and it needs to get some power...
Now that I own a house there's definitely been some situations where having a truck could be useful though at least with the 4 door Wrangler I can manage to fit lumber in it pretty well vs. if I had a 2 door. It's partly also seeing the newer Tacoma and really liking the styling on them. So I...
Hey guys, currently running a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited. Thinking of moving to something else now that I've found the world of overlanding and realized I don't really want to build for rock crawling. I've never really looked at Toyota stuff before but always liked the looks of the newer Tacoma...
Ordered a couple of minor axle armor/reinforcement upgrades in prep for getting my worn ball joints and drag link replaced in the next couple weeks (hopefully).
JCR Offroad front axle C gussets. Perfect time to do them since the ball joints will be out...
Nothing yet, they'e on the list of stuff that I want to do or have done, so they don't have a red "DONE" next to them (or just "DONE" if you're in the mobile app). I'm thinking probably the Teraflex big rotor kits front and rear. I've heard they work pretty good. If I decide later I want the...
Thanks! Yeah I wanted a carrier that integrated to open with the rear gate but would put the weight on the bumper/frame not just reinforce the factory hinges.

Got my factory Rubicon sliders on finally. Should offer some extra rocker panel protection from branches etc. I've somehow managed to get a dimple in the rocker panel right behind the front driver tire even with my Ace rock sliders/steps and can only assume it was a branch.
The Ace sliders...
Bowman may still be snowed in, or if it's not, FR-18 the main route there is closed as part of a whole ton of road closures due to storm damage from this winter's crazy amount of weather. You could potentially get in from the north side but it's not as easy of a trail and much more likely to...
Nice! I'm gonna have to check this out. I was wondering how to do something like this. One of the Jeep guys I offroad with just mentioned on our little Jeep forum that he was going to build something out of PVC etc. that sounded just like this then when he went to get the parts he ran across...
