4 banger pics

I've only seen pics, but Total Chaos has one.

Here are some pics from their site.

 

wow that is sick! this is definitely what i want to do wen i get my reg cab (hopefully soon sucks that i dont have it now) one question why is the front 5 lug and the back 6 lug?

 

they probably did an axle swap for different gearing or a larger width to compensate with the front.

 

Can't forget tacobrumz's old one. Don't know if he's a member on here, but he was on CT. IIRC, he sold it and moved on.





His truck is also featured on Total Chaos' website.

 

do you know if tacobrums was 4x4? that thing looks like a little beast! does anyone kno if it was?

 

Correct, it's a 5-lugger.

 

man i love that truck...i wish i had money to do that

 

Avg MPG = 11.5! Is that correct???

 

Some new pics I took last week

 

It was sold a few times before it was shipped to Hawaii to the current owner.

Tacobrumz had a 2wd drive. He had 4.56 gears with ARB air locker on the back.

This is when I first plugged it in, nothing was calibrated. So 11.5 MPG is not correct.

 

LT 4x4:

 

i dig it. stock suspension still? i like that trailer too, hows it do puling 2 bikes?

 

stock except the wheels and tires.. still has plenty of potential

the 4 banger lack power when climbing significant grades in the mountains with 1200lbs pull weight but all it takes is a downshift or two

 

I agree - especially with the 3.31 rear gear in the 5-lugger. I just towed two bikes to/from the mountains with my 4-banger 5-speed 5-lugger this past weekend - one in the bed and one on a trailer - almost 600 miles round-trip. The little engine was working hard at times, but it did just fine. Fuel mileage dropped from the usual 26-ish to 19 MPG. Not bad considering a lot of that was 70-80 MPH on the interstate when we weren't in the mountains - and 4th (and occasionally 3rd) gear when pulling the big hills when we were. I wouldn't want to do that every day, but it's fine occasionally - and the other 99% of the time I'm getting 26+ MPG.

Crappy phone pic taken right before we headed out:

 

do you think a 4 banger prerunner would make it up that first hill and to all these places?
