    I love the first Gens but big tires and 4 bangers sucks. If you can spend some money the same money for more hp and same results.......

    And size. A 2nd Gen with some wheels you start flirting with 1st Gen tundy. Most 2nd Gen are wider than me and I'm on a fullsize front axle

    They are nice rides, good size. I'm little heavier than a runner and about the same size. You get used to the lead sled. haha.

    I would have lost that bet!! But it is still 10% and the weight is up high. But also have rear weight to help with traction in 2wd. I was 4400 stock and betting around 6k now.

    Being 400 lbs difference, factory 4 link and shorter wheelbase I would have to really consider the 4 runner.

    I want to weigh my hooker also. If i'm over 6k i'm exempt from the exhaust sound laws. But That means i'm a fat bitch. :ballchain:

    Wheel base and length difference is 15" or so. That's a lot for crawler trails.

    100% correct. I saw he had an extra cab now and mike was posting extra cab numbers. I was just going with the trend. A v6 std cab 4wd would a beast. Little street legal SXS. lol

    I've mentioned to many guys that a std cab 4 banger flat towed behind a tundy or even 2nd gen would be a nice setup. You have a capable rig, good highway comfort and power. Honestly not much more expensive than building a DD 2nd gen in the long run. Tires last for ever, don't have to fix the little cosmetic as long as it still runs. lol
