Default Fords are always left to pull other out

So my bud has a 4runner and Im always pulling him out yelling ( shoulda bought a ford ). So what are some cheap 31's he could buy that would be alright for a 4runner? And what would be the easiest and possibly least expensive way to lift this? And does anyone know of any respectable straps to pull him out with? Hah thanks guys

Why is he trying to play offroad with highway tires? Probably doesn't even need to go bigger on the tires, just some decent tread would help immeasurably.

Should have bought a Ford is right. He should go to a 4runner site though.
Make sure your equipment to pull him out is good because you will have to pull him no matter what he does.

Wow, he's putting shame to the 4Runner! Those things are pretty stout offroad in stock form. I've owned 2. As stated before, the Hwy tires are not good for 4xing. One thing he should have done is air down the tires. He could go to toytec.com and get a cheap spacer lift and as for tires anything more aggressive than what he has, I always prefer Toyo MT.

He really needs to let the air down in the tires and that thing will walk though that stuff. I used to do a lot of beach driving in Australia and the best tires were the ones round edges and soft like those. Just bigger would be better for him. He should have the pressure around 20 psi and it would be easy.

Where were yall playing in Florida anyway? I'm dying to do some off-roading or beach driving.
