Definitely want to hit this trail as well. Only 1 hr for me to get to that trail. On the big deep rutted out section, how wide is that rut. I am pushing 84” wide. Hopefully I will fit or may have to ride up on one of the sides. 🤷♂ By comparison do you know how wide you 4runner is (outside tire width)?
@WuffpackerАй бұрын
The 4Runner is around 70 inches wide counting the tires. On this trip in 2023, my buddy was ahead of me in a full size Tundra with 37s. He did fine on the trail. Not sure how wide that rutted out spot is. There's a drop off to the right side. On this trip, we got lazy and didn't air down the tires. Reason is, we were tired out after wheeling 3 straight days at Windrock. We did the Hurricane Creek Trail on way back to Raleigh. Airing the tires down would have made Hurricane Creek a little easier. Have fun on them trails.

Greetings. The truck at the front of the line is a Lexus GX 460. The popular GX off roader is the Lexus GX 470. The 470 model is a match to the 4th Gen 4Runner (made from years 2003 to 2009). The 470 comes with the 4.7 liter engine (nice!!). My favorite off roading vehicle is the 3rd Gen 4Runner (made 1996-2002). My rig is a 2002 model with rear locker added. The 4th Gen 4Runners are great for wheeling too. I'm partial to the 3rd Gen cause it's skinnier, lighter, and you can put all kinds of modifications on it.

Friend, excuse the question or rather what advice do I have, I want to buy some 35s Yokohama tires like the ones that my friend David's 4runner has, but my doubt is that if the 35s when turning the ball bearing are not going to rub against the mud guard since if I buy the wheels with off being -20. Maybe that doesn't happen. I ask you because I have a limited budget to buy the tires. You imagine that if the 35 doesn't fit, I won't be able to install them. My 4runner only has two inches raised.
@Wuffpacker4 ай бұрын
Thanks for commenting and asking about tires. I’m running 33s on my 4Runner. They are Yokohama Geolander MTs 285/75/16. Excellent tires for off roading, especially when in muddy conditions. My good friends Miles and David have 35s on their 4Runners. These guys had to cut out a portion of metal from the wheel wells to make the bigger tires fit. Some people call this “tubbing out” the wheel wells. I’m going to stay with the 33-inch tires on my 4Runner to avoid having to tub it out. The 35s are great if you’re willing to chop off some metal (maybe some plastic too), to make them fit. The 35s will most certainly cause tire rub without modifications to the wheel wells on the front end.

The weight was a concern of mine when deciding which rear bumper to purchase. I held off on this for about two years. This particular base bumper weighs 95 lbs. The swing-out adds about 40. When installed, the rear end dropped about 1/2 inch in height. I'm running medium-weight rear coil springs. Very happy having the new addition to the runner. The tube bumper would be a nice option.

Thanks the brake modulating tip. I'm sure that would enhance my off road skills. The TP issue was intentional, but not wise. We aired up when leaving Windrock (three days at WWW23) and didn't take the time to air back down when we got to Hurricane Creek Trail. The idea was to do a quick run on the creek trail on way back to Raleigh. Got a little lazy! The wide track 4Runner belongs to Miles Eubanks. His grill was painted to match the truck paint color.

@Wuffpacker9 ай бұрын
Your comment is an inspiration to me! Man, I tell you, having a 3rd Gen 4Runner has been a life changer. Every day I'm thinking about what to do next to this classic truck. They say the best two things you can do are to get some bigger tires and install a 2-3 inch suspension lift. So many options to consider. My truck has 5100s on the front with Toytec boss shocks on the rear. The front coils and rear springs are also Toytec. Medium weight coils and springs. This set up provides 3 inch lift in the front and rear. Nice level look. For alternative suspension options, you might consider Fox 2.0, Old man emu nitro (the yellow ones), or Dobinsons. I'm gonna keep riding the 5100s for now. They are the best overall that don't cost a fortune. Whatever you do, have fun out there enjoying nature with that 99' Runner.
