Got my Rig now a few questions about fixin it up

[spaceycayce]

Yes I got the '95 4runner v6. It was a kill deal they gave me what I wanted trade in on my Tacoma and I walked out with over 2 grand and a truck. I got it because of its price vs others in the area was similar and it had about 40k less miles on it. I talked with the Yota dealer today and they ran the vin stating that my baby is good to go as far as the gaskets go. I got to put on new front brakes and it needs tires and shocks as well. After the brake job Im gonna put on a superlift 4" kit with a skid plate and brake line adjustment. I am looking at the BFG's MT radials at 32x11.50 since I really don't want to have to fuck with my shit anymore than I have to. I can always go up once I wear out the 32's I figure they are a good start since I'd have to drive about 200 miles to get to the good mud spots (God bless desert monsoons) and I still need an intown tire that won't wear as fast as say the super swampers. Im getting 5 at like 1200 with the Eagle Alloy 589 Rims. Thats mounted balanced lugs locks stems. Im probably gonna put on a black grill guard with lights as well. Now this is just the start to get me going well for a bit I'll probable add more as I go (since im almost at 4k now). Now my question is a. is this good mods to start out with and am I missing anything besides the basics (fire extinguisher, tools, etc.)? b. Im also looking for a place to put my spare since I don't think it will fit underneath. I've talkedf to the guys at the local 4x shops and they pretty much tell me that all they can get is a roof rack with a tire mount. I was hoping to be able to find a swing away tire carrier for the back as opposed to the roof rack with tire mount. Does anyone know where I can buy one for the 95 4runner or am I gonna have to be stuck with the roof rack? Let me know your opionions and what you all think. I want to thank you all for the help. Can't wait to hit the trails!!!!!!

Congradulations Space-That's a REAL nice truck to start off with! You "MAY" not even need a lift to run BFG 32's as the BFG's run a little smaller than their stated size.BFG 32's are actually closer to 31's if you measure them.You can fit a 31" with no lift.I have BFG31's on the wifes 91 4Rnr.(with plenty of room)The lower you can keep your rig the better for 4wheelin.The higher you lift,the more tippy you'll be on the trails. (Tippy=high center of gravity,as in tipping over)You don't want to lift it unless you have to.Save your dough on the the lift,get some good qualty shocks,31/32's,sway bar disconnects,& a nice new rear bumper with a tire carrier. Do a search for bumpers.There are at least a dozen quality fabricators who manufacture nice rear bumpers w/tire carriers.
