I've had plenty of icy road driving now and am very pleased with Wildpeaks. Tank average MPG for my first full take with them is -1 mpg off my average with the stock tires.
I'm on the eve of dumping my 1997 Civic this week for a 1987 Toyota SR5 Standard cab 5 speed turbo 4x4. Maybe I'm losing it
Ha, no way. For some reason, I thought all the Turbo models were auto only? Maybe just for 4runners. I've I had the urge to pick up a 1st gen 4runner for awhile. Have fun. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I did not believe this guy either until I saw pictures of the truck. He claims to be the second owner. I can't wait to see if we can work a trade out. He wants a commuter car and I want a Toyota 4x4 it looks like it might happen http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
i loved that one
when i use to live in Cali i remember as a kid the cool thing to do to toyota trucks was take off the letters on the tail gate to either read YO or TOY ahhh the 80s
Had this since May, mainly got it for the beach but we have had it in the mts. Still totally stock so we aren't too adventurous in the mts. Going to GWNF in a couple weekends to meet up with the FJ Trail Team. Got 7K on the odo already.

I love this color http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Here's mine, it's not nearly as faded as that pic makes it look.
Mostly stock except for the 31" ProComp Xterrains, All-Pro rear bumper, and BudBuilt Crossmember and skid plate.
I've got some used lift springs going on it at some point. I've just patched up the little bit of rear fenderwell rust there was, came out fine for a mostly-trail rig. Hoping with the springs and some trimming I can stuff 34x10.5-15 Swamper LTB's under there. keep it low as possible.
I need to do something about gearing. It's barely adequate on 31's, I'm actually looking for some (stock size) 225's for street use to make it more manageable on the highway.
I'm deciding between just stuffing the Tcase with Marlin Low Gears or doing a double Tcase with new driveshafts. I'm also keeping my eye out for used third members with 4.56's or 4.88's in them already.
This is my second 85 4r. I've also owned and wheeled a 1st Gen Isuzu Trooper, an 88 Range Rover, and an 89 FJ62 Land Cruiser.
heres a few shots of my 89' SR5..gonna do 31 or 32s when these tires wear out..and Bushwacker fender flares. also has a canvas soft top for summer from Can Back and working on a few other goodies like the stereo and maybe dual sunroofs! Keep em coming!
Sporin, do you happen to know what size the front axle nut is on your 4Runner? I gotta change my wheel seals, and I need the proper socket and would prefer to not make a dozen trips to the store to find the right one. Thanks.
