Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

I just ruined my pants, time to go home and change

 

Dude, get over it.

 

My comment was aimed at you and your build, no one else's.

If you're gonna talk shit on everyone else's you better be ready back it up with an immaculate build, not just more shit talking. Until that happens you are nothing more than a shit talker, as most have you pegged for around these parts already.

 

Most older 22R powered rigs are trailer queens if they are on 37s+

 

lol come on man i was just poking fun at what you said to me. it got all fun in here for a minute

 

This ones for everyone else:

 

atleast some one else besides me is having fun..

 

Sorry, forgot the important part. Once he broke the OEM axles he threw some chromolly's in there and rarely ever breaks shit anymore. Blows my mind!

It started out as a 4runner and after there wasn't much left of that body he put a Toyota pickup body on it. First trip out was to Moab and he rolled it like 4 different times there so he said fuck it and just caged it. haha.

Most of his problems anymore are just trying to keep that little 22re running.

This is what it currently looks like.







See who needs 1 tons if you are just going to run 40's


He competed in Idaho Top Truck Challenge last year and did pretty good. They have some videos of him smashing this thing down a dirt bike race course! It's hilarious... He has no dampening at all and threw one of his propane bottles out half way through the course. haha

 

LMAO, awesome

 

That just looks cold, but there's not much to damage either. Climate control is one of the reasons I like a full cab over a tube buddy personally. When the temp is just right I love buggies, the open feel is great, for the rest of the year, I like a cab, lol.

 

Yeah, he doesn't wheel as much in the winter for sure. haha Not sure why he didn't want to just do an exo cage, but he just couldn't keep bodies on the thing. haha

Night runs are interesting with him because there are no lights on the rig. He usually just wears a head lamp.

 

Being able to to roll up my windows when it's raining or if its dusty as shit, and having good climate control and being able to hear my stereo amuses me when the jeeps I'm wheeling with all have doors and tops off.

Have to give them shit when they are getting coated in earth and I just roll the window back up.

 

tony is a way cool guy. and even though he doesnt break much he doesnt have much power or weight to do so.

 

Sounds like my junk , every time we go out I shed more and more sheet metal and its fun doing it.

I have toy axles front/rear on 39.5's. With a dual case. I upgraded to chromo rear shafts and longfields in the front. I also upgraded my output shafts to chromo as well. No problems wheeling at the Hammers. My junk also has a 3.4L in it.

 

Sounds like you and him are setup just the same or pretty close, other than the motors. haha

 

some people have all the luck though i do build heavy rigs and that means it's easier to break shit..

 

Truth. Heavy rig breaks shit. I can't believe there's people actually putting D44's under second gen tacos

 

they are clearly not as sophisticated as you gents




i love how 2nd gens are getting old enough now that more people are sac'ing them

its a new generation of crawlers!

 

It has alot to do with the way people wheel. I expect to grip well cuz im heavy and loose traction before i break doesnt work like that hence the plan to run bigger stuff..

 

Just remember traction breaks shit.
