Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Are you talking about rob (downpour11) he has a build thread on T4R and by far it was one of the quickest SACs ever. A little over three weeks iirc

 

Kinda interested to see how those MT/Rs handle the snow but then again I am also wanting to see how the DTs do as well.

 

no im talking about the 1st gen 4runner i posted a page back. took him like 2 years.

 

Nope... They suck on the street too. Too soft so they wear down quickly.

 

meant off road everywhere else

who gives a rats ass how they do on the road, we are building trucks not race cars

 

I figured this was the case. Since that brake has the advantage of the diff gears, I think it would be a pain in the ass to tune it to work right with the wheel brakes. If not tuned right your tcase and drive shaft could be what's stopping your (assuming your in 4wd) before the wheel brakes even engage much. If your a bit on the heavy side that might spell disaster for your drive shafts, axles, or tcase.

I always thought the diff brakes might be iffy too because it is putting all the stopping weight of the vehicle on the diff and axles. Probably why you only really see them on 2.5 tons and up I guess. haha Could you imagine breaking an axle or your ring and pinion just from locking up your brakes. haha. That would suck.

 

It kinda does if you have to replace them every year... That gets too expensive too fast...

 

i know haha. im just effin around

 

Hell if you don't give a shit about how they do on the street just get some competition level Trepadors. My favorite tire so far!!

 

Haha, those tires are awesome and probably very self clearing. Ill take a set in that size please

 

ill try a different welder to fit them this time

 

Haha!

 

Ive said it befor ill say it again.. So performance is like this:
rocks. poor
Sand. well
Mud. very poor
snow. very poor
road. Road noise after break in is there and they wear really fast = Poor.
wet conditions. poor
ice. might as well be on slicks..

So over all the MTZ is the biggest wast of money ive ever. thus far my MTR's are spanking them on every terain ive been on..

not gonna lie never wheeled in powder that light.. we dont get cold enough here.

 

WOOT

im part of an Ultra4 pit team!!!!! may be going to nationals in Az next week, they were susposed to be in Vegas but they got cancelled, soooo they may be rescheduling!!! to Az

 

well part of the ultra 4 races, i believe they race in 4500, car# 4502

 

Not that I am getting new tires anytime soon but I've contemplated trying those instead of MTR's. Problem is that tire is a lot heavier so it might be too harsh on CV's in a 37 and it's bias ply so it will ride like shit and they aren't street legal (not that that will be an issue in Idaho).

 

tire mass should only be an issue when accelerating and breaking in which case your CV will only notice that when you are in 4wd and racing someone..

 

unless you're silas

 

do we have 7.5" front thirds? Looking at a 4.88 7.5" front third out of an older 4runner

 

Yea. But if it's from a 2nd gen 4runner won't work. Needs to be from a 3rd gen 4runner. 95 was the earliest years of the 3rd gen but double check if it's a 95, as there are still some 2nd gen 95s
