97yota's fully caged 4wd long travel build

same with fiberglass body panels

 

no clue, right now its probably only 500 lbs over stock. with the 37s it would probably be 600ish over.

but i can only find 5.29s for my truck, arent there 5.73s?

and im also wondering if my axels and shit would hold up to 37s

 

yeah i didnt want fiberglass at all because of that, but have to haha

 

would the 4cyl be able to handle 37s even with new gears? that would be badass if it could...i would hate to see the gas mileage though haha

 

Your truck has to be more than 600lbs over stock right now.

Those 37's w/ Beadlocks (Trail-Worthy Fab Beadlocks) weigh over 100lbs each, so that's probably around 700lbs in tires alone (stock is probably around 300lbs).

 

yeah the engine should with proper gearing, but drive train... not so sure.
its a desert truck. mpg isnt a concern
plus at full blown desert speeds i dont expect more than 6mpg anyways

i dont think over 600 lbs as it is right now, i ditched the bed, gutted the whole interior. with all my tubing (front bumper to back bumper) i bet i only gained like 300 lbs or so, but i forgot i have 2 full size spares, so thats 160 more easily. shit so it maybe is alot more? no clue.... ill get it weighed when i get it back.

im going to get steelies with look alike bead locks, so that should cut it down at least 60 lbs per wheel that way

 

haha true. yeah idk if the drivetrain could handle it

 

i hate it when i get really excited for something then everyone jumps and stomps and lights my hopes on fire haha

 

haha i mean 37s would be sick but i feel like its harder to get them to work especially with a 4wd cause there are so many more points that can fail

 

haha that's why we're here

besides, we're just looking out for ya, dont want you to end up like that guy with a DB lift and LT arms

 

yeah its true, i just dont look at the down sides of things when i think of something cool haha

and i know all you guys are just lookin out, thats why i dont bitch when you guys tell me otherwise haha, i just try to learn

 

and that's how babies are born

 

35s are starting to push the drivetrain.

Could go Dana 44s... Oh wait you can't even get your LT working lol

 

do 37's once you do a ls swap. your truck only makes like 150 hp hahaha..... well so does mine

 

so ill never have 37s then. lol

 

Or do a swap and quit being a little bitch

 

x2

 

eh i dont need a swap right now, my truck goes alot faster than alot of people think with the 4.88s
