Idaho BS thread in the PNW

not necessarily jump it...but better shock absorbtion through the desert terrain

i do enjoy jumping though...so its only natural that I get there at some point

WE MUST SEE THEM!



still waiting on jerry for his kane creek vids

 

So..you do want to jump it..

First it was crawler..now a jumper..haha

 

no, i dont want to jump it. I want it to handle some whoops out in the desert without bucking like it has welded suspension. That is my goal my current taco. If i want a crawler im just going to get an older toyota PU and make that a crawler and give no fucks if it gets flipped. current truck is too nice to make a crawler.


And dont EVEN get me started on people who cant decide what to do with their truck Mr long travel-crawl box-turbo

 

What you talking about? im going LT..and getting a crawl box..and turbo..when i can.

then Mid travel for you..but even then..won't be smooth. Only LT will get you that.

 

Seems like all of us are just shooting for something in between everything now. haha I did want to go full on crawler but one good trip out to the dunes it making me held for a build similar to Monte's only maybe now so many light and no bed rack or RTT. I think I will opt for a trailer for the expo stuff when I get that far. For now I want full LT with 37's that I can jump and crawl! and then maybe dive into increasing engine performance from there. Would love to get a 400-500hp monster out of my engine but I would likely just settle for a trd setup like the FRV too I'm sure I feel like mine is decently fast now, but would like just a little more go. haha

 

That's too much power outa the 4.0 to keep it crawler reliable. Might as well just do a swap for that kinda power.

I'm sure you could ride in the FRV up here just to get an idea. Grant he is still on stock gears too.

If I can figure out a way to swap a 2nd gen front end ill go 37s I think. Ill need a sc I think or turbo to turn them with 4.88s as they're arent 5.29s..

If money was no object...

 

crawl craaawwwww

 

Haha....


Yea...maybe...

Too late now..

 

What?

And you can. Just need a kit. Costs about 600 buck for the kit to fit any uz engine to any r series tranny.

 

That is why you have to build up the block first. haha a built block would be more reliable under any kind of boost than a non-built anyway.

I would like to take a ride in the FRV to see what that TRD S/C is all about

 

Well it looks like Africa will be a go for me.... meaning Ill be really quiet on any forums starting sometime in late Q3 to early Q4, probably until Q1 2014, however should be an amazing payday

 

Yea I guess. Not always though..trust me..haha that isn't always the solution.

Plus at that point then you'll have tranny t case and diff failures..haha

And yea it's fun!

I'm sorta confused by this..

No offense..I would never let you install a tranny on any rig I own haha

And they are nice yes.

 

Oh..haha gotcha.

I'd do it. Honestly if I could trad up for me I probably would. I MIT end n take a double cab taco now too

 

brady dont do it

I drove a s/c'd 1st gen

now so much want

 

blow up doll?

 

threesome.


now what?

 

What?? Haha

 

I agree Brady lol. All of us pretty much realize a locked lt 4x4 can crawl just about as well as any of us need it to, and on the flip side we can braaaap with it also. That is what I want as well. However Ben might be right on this one...probably better off building up a tundra that already has the v8, diff, locker e.c.t

 

I've already got a good power platform with my v6. That makes sense for you since you are running a 4 cylinder though. Plus I am already locked front and rear. Too invested to change plus a 2nd gen Tundra is too big and a 1st gen isn't much different than my 2nd gen anyway.

 

I have a rear sliding window and who needs a sun roof and leather seats in an offroad rig? I actually don't really care for leather seats myself.

Not positive on this but I thought the 2nd gen V6 wasn't much less powerful than the 1st gen Tundra. Although you can probably get a lot more power out of the Tundra via mods than my V6.
