I recently scored a 2000 4Runner Sr5 v6 auto 230k miles, for $400. The seller thought it had a bad trans, turned out to be the drive shaft. So that’s fixed. Runs strong and drives smooth now. I have some questions about building this thing into a trail rig. Just don’t know what’s quality and...

In case anyone was wondering, a 35-12.50-r17 will fit in the factory spare tire location on a rear coil spring ram 2500. It’s tight and don’t see how your gonna get anything bigger there. I had to deflate the tire and use a jack to force it up there. Once in place I could air up the tire and use...
