    Lots of people do, and I probably should state I don’t because:

    -Trail only
    -Non-DOT Tires
    -full hydro steering.

    I don’t drive on the street because of the grizzly lockers.

    Good point.

    It would be wheelable! Throw the 37s back on it and throw a regular yota axle under with some rcv inner shafts. A 3rd with 4.88s and Detroit. Would just be without the ruffstuff axle which I wheeled like that for a long time lol.

    I think this axle is a little wide, lol. It’s going to get cut down a little, but a funny pic regardless.

    It’s still going to be wide, just a little less to match the rear axle better. He still hasn’t gotten a rear axle yet so it really just depends on which route he is gonna go. Also it’s too wide for the trailer currently. :rofl:

    The little Samurai is officially a roller. I'm working on the front clip today so I can get the front shocks mounted up.

    This one is a full on crawler, but my customer has a second sami that he runs on the street and the easy trails.

    For any of you on here with 3rz tacos: can they get up to highway speeds efficiently on 37/40s? Whether you’re on yota axles or tons or whatever you got. Trying to decide what route to go with. Picked up this rig a few weeks ago. B37D02BB-DCC5-484C-A1E3-B131B26B7A88.jpg

    My 22re gets up to 75 and holds it comfortably. Going to attempt to run 39s on it.

    @Snowy drove his from Chicago to moab on 37" PBRs and a 3rz

    Beautiful rig!

    And yes 3rz will do it. Proper gearing is a must. LOW LOW LOW!! I recommend 15.50s or lower (jk but seriously cannot be low enough) realistically like a 5.86 or 6.17 would be great.
