Slodgetto's Green Dragon 4x4 Conversion Build

GTFO!



lol

 

thats the expected response. doesnt make an intervention any less necessary.

 

This! VVVV

But not the best way. If you want a formidable crawler, you're gonna have to swap in some stronger axles on the jeep anyway. I'm not oppossed to heeps... but I'd rather have a built toyota then a built heep.

lol

 

Eehhhh.... Sure that'll make for a nice, stronglittle rig.

But would you really just want to leave it like that? If it were me, I'd want to push the front axle forward a good several inches, and since I can get some decently sized tires under there now, I'd want to improve the linkage and definately the steering.... There is a lot more to making a well built rig than just sprinkling some chromo fairy dust in your 30 or 35! hahaha In the long run, I think I'd prefer building up a Tacoma from scratch, despite the small amount of extra work and headaches, compared to pretty much having to re-do the axles, suspension set-up, steering system and who know what else in the jeep to stronger parts... And if you're going for a BUILT rig, we can't forget the rear axle and suspension.

I think that jeeps are awesome for the consumer that enjoys mild off-roading, but don't really want to mess with all the stuff involved in building a rock crawler. A stock jeep beats a stock taco just about anyday off-road...) However, if you want to completely BUILD the crap out of a vehicle I think a Toyota would be better simply because of the dependibitly. On the other hand.... if you're going to swap out the engine and entire drivetrain as well, then the original vehicle is pretty much just a chopped up shell!! oh dear... I'd stick with a yota though, cause they look better than heeps.

lolz

 

sub plan to do this to my truck over xmas break

 

unplug your battery before you cut the wires to extend your speed sensor.

 

Nice, man. Just hit me up if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them!

Yes.... That is a good idea.

 

dude your truck is badass! How do you like the super 10? I ordered one and it should be in tomorrow

 

Thanks, dude. I LOVE my super 10. It is pretty, loud, but it's a nice sound. It can sound a bit raspy/ricy at high rpms when the engine is cold, but a larger exhaust tip helps to subsue that a lot.

 

Loud..is an understatement haha its the only one i have heard thats louder then mine haha...well..that and Tony's truck..but he doesn't have a muffler so he doesn' count haha

 

Thanks! I can't wait to get mine put on

 

STOPPIT!!! lol

I'll be doing a few more wheeling trips once I get the rear bumper and skid plates on the truck and the rear shackle mounts re-located... Several members of my family have never been wheeling with me so I want to take each of them at least once! Plus, I have to re-insure the truck anyway to get it on the market.... (So you may see the green dragon on the 22nd afterall....... )

 

HECK. YEAH.
