The SiRMarlon Crawler!

I tease I tease. At least your out there having fun.

 

Nice rig! Always wanted a 1st gen 4runner (preferably with a solid front axle). I'm jealous.

Nice sig stillfly...^^^

 

how did I miss this thread! Killer runner for a killer Price!! That thing is so far ahead of where I'm at on the the 84 pickup for only $100 more bucks...... damn the east coast. I bet those gears are sweet!! I cant wait to get the dual cases set up in my truck...

 

So I finally got the new 1" MC installed as well as my new 2M radio so I can stay in touch with the rest of the TWA crew here in SoCal! 2M Radios > then CBs

1" MC Still have to wire up the little cap plug!



2m Radio installed and Programed! And since we are operating outside the 2M frequency I don't need to get my Ham license.



I also got my Rock Lights installed...we had our first Annual Pre-Thanksgiving TWA Night run in Calico last Wednesday night and man what a blast that was especially with the new 4.7 T-Case gears. Sorry I don't have pictures of the run but I was to busy having fun driving!





I also finally finished painting the whole truck black...but I am debating whether to paint it another color now! lol...I'm thinking Silver!!!

 

rocklights turned out good! are those 33's or 35's on there? whats the cap plug wire into... I didnt know there was a brake warning light

 

sweet runner man
thats the way to do it.
nice find

 

Well so far the light has not come on so I probably won't bother in wiring up the cap...and they are 35" tires but they are worn down pretty good. I need to replace them as soon as I have some extra funds. My Brother Denny (Dtrujillo63) also picked up a 84 4Runner that we are working on as well. We will be dropping in a front locker, 4.7 T-Case gears, and welding up the rear diff by the weekend!

 

great ride you got to beat on there!!! but i'm not sure i'm gonna like this idea of you having your own ride. now we're never gonna get all those amazing trail pics like before!!!!!!!

 

Hahaha dude...I have not shot a trail run since I got the truck! We have been on 3 runs so far and I don't have shots of any runs! LOL it's just harder now to drive and still get the shots that I want...But I will figure something out!

 

gonna have to mount an HD video camera on it so you can film the whole ride then go back a take some stills out of the video for us!

 

we should try to do that here on the east coast and comprise everything with guys from the west coast. I think we could make some sick wheelin videos.

 

Well a few friends and I went out to Calico this weekend to play around on the rocks! I didn't take any shot's but my 4Runner was awesome on the rocks once again!! Even with it's bald ass tires! LOL!!





Buster was playing peek-a-boo! I took off the doors for the 2nd trail and it became official! I loved not having doors on!

 

sweet pics
the other runner looks familiar.
a few years ago there was a dude named Noah in my law enforcement class @ crafton who said he worked for allpro and IIRC he had a similar rig.
keep the pics comin man!

 

Marlon - Lookin GREAT - funny thing I know everyone on every board gives you soooo much shit about those tires - they may be shitty but your still wheelin'. I am so jealous and boy if I were to do it all over - that is the way I would do it! As I said when I bought my truck. Buy a 30k truck. Add 10-15k. End up with a 20k truck. Your math makes so much sense. Hope to see you on the trail sometime soon.

 

Killer! hows it drive with the 35's and the stock push/pull steering?

 

On the trail it does fine...on the street...it's another story! It's def not my favorite as I can feel the steering wheel jerk every time I hit a pot hole bump I have to be real cautious as the truck will jerk left or right I am hoping the high steer will fix that when I get it. The 35's are fine on the street but I do need new tires I think once I get start working again I am going to spring for the KM2s since this is my daily driver right now...if it wasn't my daily I would get some pitbull's or Iroks...

 

cool. From what I hear the High Steer set-up drives like a dream in comparison. Is that the stock drag-link w/ RUF for the front lift?

Edit; to add, you will be extreamly happy with the KM2's. I was blown out of the water riding in a FJZ-80 a couple months back. Aired down to 20 psi they preformed flawlessly flexing around rocks and sipping mud.

 

Any updates to the build?

 

Updates? Marlin Crawler box?!?
