  • This is it boys! Lets see if the budget build, clapped out 4Runner has what it takes to conquer the Rubicon! We met up with a bunch of buddies and had one of the best trips yet. Spoiler alert, the 4Runner CRUSHED it! I couldn't be happier with how it perform. That gives me extra motivation to keep pushing with this project knowing that from this point forward I can take it to the Rubicon and have an awesome relaxing weekend.

    I also drive a 1998 Toyota 4runner, abt to put it on 35s at 17 hoping to get her all fixed up by senior year

  • @eriknash8783
    @eriknash8783 Рік тому

    good call on skipping the front locker, especially with 37's. That would be a recipe for grenading front CV axles. Had a 95 4cyl 4x4 pickup (hilux) with 3" lift and 33's with front and rear lockers and I destroyed so many out CV joints when rock crawling. Did the Rubicon a few times with it.

    • @Rhouzv
      @Rhouzv 6 місяців тому

      My tundra was triple locked on 5.29s and with 37s I was blowing steering racks every few months after I added my front locker. Bought a 3rd gen runner to build and I’ll probably go locked rear and open front with a Marlin crawl box in this runner

  • @markschwegler1100
    @markschwegler1100 Рік тому

    Shit...at least you got 37s... i ran my 86, stock ifs on 31s, no lockers or armor to buck n back...I had no doubt that beast would make it...awesome!!!
