Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Ya but by the time ou build it there is nothing left in there that is factory jeep. Just the body and frame.
Plus I would stretch that wheel base significantly if you are building off a 2dr platform


Also I'm pretty sure you have repeatedly said that rock crawling was boring to you?

 

But everybody and their dog has a jeep... look at how much bigger EJS is than Ta.Co. Rock Therapy. I would build something a little more unique. Granted a built Toyota pickup isn't that unique either.

 

True. Haha. I don't want to crawl a Jeep though. I drove a fairly built one in Boise on spring break and hill climbs blow! It was ridiculous how easy that thing would pickup a tire on climbs even though it had stupid amount of flex. I would shit my pants trying to do hells gate or escalator yet they were a walk in the park for my Tacoma.

 

yeah don't for get the training wheels for those 42's

 

not if it comes factory with training wheels.

 

Cherokees man...there's about a billion in every junkyard lol

 

It's still going to fucking hurt though... and unless you have everything strapped down good all your shit will fly everywhere too. And I dont just mean large things but small things like the flashlights, camera, phone and other small things I carry in my cup holders and such.

Laying something on its side wouldn't be so bad but what Mark and I were doing that Jeep wanted to wheelie over

 

I got smacked in the face with a rubber ducky m4 in the MRAP roll over simulators. It didn't feel that great. I then preceded to unbuckle myself when we were on our side. I crushed to guy below me and smack my head even harder. Screw roll overs.

 

That's another good point... fuck rollovers. I hate those god damn simulators. Honestly if we weren't in full gear in them it wouldn't be so bad though. Trying to get out of your seat belt while hanging upside down in your body armor with a rifle in your hands and all the other gear and people in the way is miserable...

 

Jeeps flop too easy and flopping hurts the body (ie your spine).

 

He's calling you a bitch Ben. Prove him wrong.

 

yes that's exactly what I'm saying haha

 

It would be funny haha plus shit loads of parts to pick from..


OR



I say 1st gen 4runner solid axle swap...3 link. Like this




Really..I wouldn't care though

 

dude luke's jeep is built well, and that fucker is still shifty to drive!!

that swb fucker is just a no go for me. The menuverability is not worth how much it feels like with slightest throttle touch it will roll on its ass. Thats why i said the wheel base neesd to be pushed out. to in the high 90s to low 100s.



also im drinking. so i dont know wtf im saying

 

True true.

Would be interesting.

Could probably fit a 3uzfe in there too....

 

If that's our choices...2jz. Slap a stroker kit in it and bam. 3.4l straight six turbo!

But 3uzfes..4.3 l v8...and lots of supercharger options..just saying..

 

Stoked 2jz turbo it is

 

Straight six man. Great torque.

With the stroker, even better.

Probably not much different then 5vz.

Really all gearing for crawling anyways.

 

Umm...

Fun as hell to..burn out??

Or..

What??

 

drunk, climbed a fence. large gash under the arm. rad night lolz
