'86 4RUNNER linked w/ Rockwells, Tractor tires

[ADD]

i'm basing my knowledge on both this truck, and a guy i met locally who has an '87 3.0 4runner.

of course i didn't actually see proof on either door jam (i took their word), so it is possible i am incorrect.

if it were an 87 then it was sold as an 88...Toyota did not sell/advertise any pickups or 4runners in 87 with the 3.0
if the door jam says 87 then I'll bet it was made in December and released in Jan as an 88

what??? then why dont people run their boggers this way? I dont think you're correct

All Mickey Thompson® Baja Belted tires are designed with what is called a "semi-directional
tread". In other words, depending on which way the tires are mounted, the tires will have a higher
degree of traction or a higher degree of flotation.
For maximum forward traction, mount white letters out (serial # in) on left (driver's) side of
vehicle, and white letters in (serial # out) on right (passenger) side of vehicle.
For maximum flotation, (or maximum reverse traction), mount white letters in (serial # out) on
left (driver's) side, and white letters out (serial # in) on right (passenger) side.
Since off-roading involves a fair amount of backing out of difficult situations, most people mount
tires with white letters out all around.

sorry i did get it mixed up.  tires that are designed like the ones above are ran like i said.

It's true. The last few 85 pickups and 4runners were IFS.
