LilRichey85's 1985 4Runner Project
« on: Dec 10, 2007, 05:46:29 PM »
Here is my 1985 Toyota 4runner SR5 Lifted 10 inches with some crappy worn out 35's.  Maybe oneday I will be able to get a good set of 37's and a few more inches of lift.


1985 4runner:
7 inch suspension lift
3 inch body lift
35x12.5x15" dunlop mud rovers
15" American Racing Rims
Marlin Crawler Super Heavy Duty Clutch

Soon to come:
5.29 Yukon gears ~ need to be installed.
37 - 41 inch tires not sure on the size yet...

Sorry, I should have been more explicit, details about lift, shocks, steering mods, body lift? You have a sweet first generation that looks like someone took the time to modify so you can have fun wheeling it.  :driving:
Thanks DanS

Steering is stock for now.  I will be doing the hi steer crossover next year.  The Suspension is a Skyjacker 7 lift....the shocks are Skyjacker hydro 7000's Single in front and Dual in the rear.... 3 inch body lift... Hopefully I will be getting some new gears soon. I need them BAD!

Well the Dunlops are worn out pretty bad but they still get me anywhere i wanna go.  I guess i like them, but I didnt have them when they were new so im not sure how fast they wear out really.

Another Update...


I got my clutch and flywheel from Marlin today.  I also decided to go ahead and order 2 sets of 5.29 Yukons and 2 set up kits too.  I ordered them just now.  I got a super deal on them.  489 bucks shipped.  Hopefully they will be here soon.
