Next weekend?

 

Wanting to do some camping in Big Bear area the 26-28 of this month...

 

Memorial day weekend too! I may be down..

 

Lots of jeep runs plannned that weekend, gonna be a cluster fuck

 

Yeah...

 

Lots of places will be crowded though. As long as the most difficult trails are avoided we shouldn't hit any traffic jams.

 

Heading up to Pismo this weekend if anyone's up there and wants to wheel together.

 

Anyone know if the 1st gen transfer case is the same between a 4cyl and 6cyl? I've read both yes and no

In one thread someone said the v6 is a 23 spline and the 4cyl is a 26 spline, but I have yet to find a definitive answer.

 

4x4 conversión for the lady on the horizon?!?

 

Yep! Still more parts to collect, but getting there

 

Always a parts list. Solid axle, 35's, gears. The transfer case is a start.

 

Rick @pray4surf did the conversion on his Prerunner, and should have some "hot-skinny" on the subject.

 

@2000man pelfrey has a 15% off sale! ...but it's for skids

 

Having been called out by @Drainbung - I don't have any answer on this. My transmission came with the transfer case, out of a V6 4runner...
I only needed to swap bellhousings and re-use the 4cyl torque converter to mate the V6 tranny/xfer case to my 2.7 4cyl. Of course, the electrical connections needed more massaging... The FSM is valuable.

 

You should get some eight-lug hubs to go with that transfer case. Go big or go home.

 

Wasn't someone on here looking for AP Standard leaf springs?

@anthony250f ? was that you?

 

Yeah I was!! I actually just found some dakars for the same price...think I'm gonna go with the dakars instead

 

I love my AP standards but they're too soft if you have a weekends worth of camping supplies in the bed. Otherwise they're perfect haha. Dakars are awesome, a set of those with 12" shocks will be my next setup when I get a 4x4.

 

I guess I should have posted about a parking lot meet instead of actual offroading

 

another question for ya So I've read that you can use the front driveshaft from the pre runner(and i think add a spacer), but you'll need both portions of the rear driveshaft from a 4wd- is that true or did you just get a whole driveshaft from a 4wd?
thanks!
