    the 01 reg cab
    the current end goal is
    Dana 60 with 5.38s and zip locker 12" king coilovers
    GM 14bolt 5.38 grizzly locker chevy 63"spring with 12" kings
    I'd like to get a 2UZ out of a 2003 4runner 2wd just to eliminate any 4wd wiring for simplicity sake when taking it to a referee to get smog done
    a740f trans for the 5 speed and see if the crawlbox I have in the truck currently will hold up to it

    I'm currently waiting on the coilovers to start diving into the swap

    Hahaha I told her the same thing, she figured it out in less than a day.

    In his defense he was the guide and in three days that was his only bad direction. Everything from route to spot was spot on.

    Signal peak is not moderate at this time, got turned around by a huge mud pit. I need to repaint the bottom of my rear diff, lol.

    This video came out good



    The mud pit, its on the by pass from the 'hard part/short cut'

    LMAO.... That's always like that this time of the yr. I've made it through there before. Why you take the short cut up the hill, right turn Clyde. The way the top 1/2 mile looks, might have been turned around just short of the top.

    Welp now I know, snow melting should have been a hint :)

    The 3rd gen didn't want to try the short cut, we did walk it. The Toyo AT3s are kind of dissapointing as far as rock traction (I was at 15psi), def going a different rout once I get the bumper and size up. 3rd Gens KO2s had no issues, where I was slipping.

    Then again I saw Matt do the short cut on Terra Grapplers, no locker, a lot of skinny pedal.

    Understandable.... if your tires can allow you to get down to around 10psi would help climb it, power up slowly, let the A trac try to do it's thing, all fails, as one of my buddies says skinny pedal!

    No joke. The earthquakes have been increasing in frequency over the course of the last 2 months. Couple of weeks ago had one that really shook the house. I thought I left earthquake central when I left SF. They seem to be following me... doh!
