Hey ExPo, hopefully you can help settle my mind on this.
I currently drive a 1999 4x2 Limited 4Runner. When I picked it up, I got a crack on price for it, for a low amount of mileage (132K) at a price I could afford. My focus since purchase has to always build an overland rig with this vehicle.
Current set-up is ARB bull bar up with a warn winch on the way.
OME 881's Front, 890 Rear with Bilstein 5100 shocks all around.
265/75/r16 BFG K02's
Pullout Cooler & Cooktop with pull out drawers sitting in the rear cargo bay.
The type of driving I do is primarily back country roads and non-maintained service roads. As well as my daily commute to and from work. I occasionally will go to some offroad parks... but my main concern is just getting to where I wanna go, safely and easily without breaking the truck on the way there.
My rear diff was neglected by the previous owner unfortunately so that is being replaced soon. While looking at the replacement, I have the option to add an ARB Airlocker (RD132). The question is.. is it worth the $1,100 for the locker and air compressor?
Thanks for any input, even the ones that say I should have a bought a 4x4. :coffeedrink:
