ugh....my car looks like a 4X4

[auxiliary]

Here are some quick pics of my 1997 4runner. I bought this car about two months ago as a daily driver/hauler. I did a bunch of research going into this and new I wanted an SUV with 4X4 and always loved the body style of the 3rd gen 4runners. I happened to find a 5speed locally and it's all history from there. These things are like gold in Atlanta, very over priced in this area.

Now onto pics: Just installed an OME 3 inch lift kit.

Front before

Rear before


Main reason for the lift was because of that rear sag!

If you know anything about 4runners is that the only *problem* they have is that the rear sags after a while. Two birds with one stone? Fixed the rear sag and lifted it.

I found another 4runner when I went to lunch today...couldn't resist!



And just a side profile pic:

You need wheels and tires. BFG muds.

No need for wheels unless I can come across a set of sequoia rims.

I have 265/75/16 on it now. Which is an upgrade from stock. I have been looking at getting 285/75 when these tires are done.

Oh, there is a need for wheels. Believe me.

He is right, BFG KM 2 mud terrains with a 15-16 in black steel wheel will set it off.

4runners are overpriced alot of times. I was looking into to SUV's for my wife and i couldn't believe how much more a 4runner is compared to a pathfinder or whatever. They must just be better!

Ya tell me about it. I looked for them for about 4 months and many of them were over $10,000. I found this one...and got it for a fair deal.

[AltimaCharlie]

Yes on those wheels.

Ya, I have always loved these wheels and they just happened to pop up on craigslist.

Well I didn't want to buy new wheels and tires but came into a great deal for a set of FIVE!

Put them on in the parking lot when I got them.

Those wheels make it look a TON better!
