IFS Tacomas take on the Rubicon

I would definitely take that Jerry can holder off...

 

Think he’ll loose it?

 

He’ll bend the hell out of it at the very least.

 

The Jerry can maybe ,the bumper is 2x5 1/4 " thick, that dought will break ever

 

I hate to say it but those Jerry can's will be mangled at the end of the con unless your really good at stacking rocks.

 

Your right, o can relocate in bed

 

Thank you guys for the answers, I really appreciate all the information. I'm stoked to get out, but want to be prepared. Good advice on the jerry can holder up above too, I probably would have left mine on and not thought about it... it seems to far off the ground when I'm on pavement.

Sounds like I'm going to have to hit up @JLee for a pair of LCA skids. I know you make some HD hangers too, do you think it's worth picking up a pair before-hand or should I just beat my stock ones to death and then go for a pair? (ooh, just looked they're a not too cheap)

2019 goal trip???

 

For sure! My buddy josh and I are planning on doing this next year. You guys should come with. Plus i need back up if he flakes!

 

FIFY

I’m starting to wonder if this guy even exists. I thought it was a trip for this year? If it’s next, I’m so down.

 

Keep me posted

 

Yeah i backed out this year n he didnt have time either, but yeah JD is hard to get to do shit these days. David has met him lol

 

Oh gotcha, well I’m down to set a date in 2019. That will be the big trip of the year and then Alaska 2020!!!

 

Keep you posted on a 2019 trip?

 

@JLee i want your first gen lol

 

25k you can drive it home today.

 

My first gen, it has less than 100,000

 

Drive shafts can get crushed on boulders and also snap at various places. Even if it doesnt necessarily break, if its dented enough, it’ll be a shitty ride home - if it makes it all the way before a u-joint, yoke, or even gears fuck up. If anything, the parts on it will also help as spares (u-joints, yokes, etc). I’ve had to replace u joints and a yoke on the trail before (thanks @jberry813 @Mademan925 @RelentlessFab ).

If you can’t get a spare drive shaft, at the very least grab a couple of u-joints. Sometimes this is exactly where it snaps on the DS and can be an easy trail fix. btw, the rear drive shaft has 3 u joints - which are different than the 2 u joints on the front DS:
