Wanted LF 3rd gen 4runner set of beater 16" wheels and tires.

[rushthezeppelin]

So I just talked to USAA on my 4runner wreck. As long as a replace anything that would be stock or equivalent on the vehicle I can pull as much parts as I want. That means I can pull the slider and skids no problem. I would like to save my wheels/tires and rear locker if I can but that will require some beater wheels and tires and a nonlocking diff (if only I had just held on to the one I had lol). Anyone have any of these or know where I can track them down quick. I've probably got till Wednesday at the latest to get this all sorted is what my adjuster said.

I'd also like to add some scrap UBJs to this list if someone has some. That way I can get the JBA UCAs off too.

I have some 15” wheels/tires that I can donate to the cause if you want to come get them. I’m in the Springs. That is, if 15s will fit. They hold air and roll.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

I don't think 15s will fit ><

 

[rushthezeppelin]

Actually they might since they are steelies. I'm about to be down in the springs to pick up the Sequoia, could I grab them and if they don't work I'll get em back to you? Call me at 512-940-4685

Actually they will totally fit, I checked my door tag and it came with 15s! Never realized I had the smaller brake package on here because I use engine braking so much with the 5 speed.

I thought someone on MUD had a third member for free to someone in need?!?!? I don’t remember they’re location…but I’ll look later today when I’ve got a free moment to see if I can find the ad.

Found it faster than I thought I would….

That's for an 80 not a 3rd gen 4runner. Totally different axles.

They may fit, but beware - virtually all doorpost stickers on 3rd gens (like my '98, 5 speed, and my brother's '98 5 speed) say '15" rims' - when the trucks came with 16" alloys to clear the (ahem) heavy duty brakes. As I have learned with rims, they truly only fit when you bolt them up - not when 'somebody' or 'some label' says they will fit.

Good to know

Sorry bud! I somehow completely overlooked the model. My bad. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You were right, totally just barely did not fit.

So I decided that I'm going to buy the 4runner back at this point. At this time I still would rather see somebody in the club whos willing replace front end body and radiator get a steal on all the work I've put into but at some point I'll part it out. Still looking for the wheels and tires as I want to put the 33s on the Sequoia at some point but I'm no longer looking for an open diff rear or UBJs. Updated thread title. What lovely timing I had that this all goes down as soon as everyone is leaving for CM.
