1997 4Runner Limited

Got my 4Runner back in September 2010 bone stock 333,000mi. Lift and tires done in week 2 of ownership. The offroad mod bug bit me hard. Nowhere near done yet. So far so good. Florida wheeling was fun but nothing compared to the terrain of Northern California. I'm never home now. Work and wheeling, that's about it. We survived a few snow wheeling trips before the front diff let go on our way back from Bowman Lake. So I hand the front and rear diffs off to my local shop J&M to get the 4.30's replaced with 4.88's and an ARB locker up front. With all four 35 inch Pitbull Rockers turning with 4psi, it feels like an unstopable tank! The Super Charger helps too. Only running it at 4psi due to lack of a tune. No reason for me to go any higher with 360k miles on it. It get's us pretty much anywhere we want to go. The family loves the ability to pass by all the congested roadside camp spots to keep pushing further into the wilderness and enjoy the real outdoors. Who Doesn't?
