Upgrades

So question guys, I am new to the 4Runner life and just got my first one which is a 1990 4Runner 3.0 V6 and am wanting to make it an off-road rig. I’m planning on starting with a Lift of about 5 inches and attempting to put 35s under it.
1st question would 35s fit with a 5 inch lift?
2nd question lockers, do you guys run front and rear lockers or just a rear locker? I live in an area where there a lot mountains and snow.
3rd Question where do you guys go to find your bumpers for the front and rear and rock sliders?

 

Welcome. Unless you plan on regearing, I would not go bigger than 33's with maybe a 3 or 4 inch suspension lift. If you really want to go 35's then you would probably want to SAS and regear it and go front and rear locker. Good luck.

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I got 33s on a 4 inch lift... ends up being almost 8 inches from stock height

Welcome

 

what do you mean SAS? And what gear should I run?

 

Solid Axle Swap?

 

This. . Do your homework first before deciding on it. As for gearing, it all depends on what is there now. 2nd Gens came with either 4:56 or 4:88 depending on wheels size. How you drop your spare will tell you which you have. If you are lucky and have the exterior spare then it is 4:88. If you have the 4:88's you would probably be fine up to 35's. Keeping it at 33's would be even better.
