whoa thanks for all the input , yea i will be changing all the fluids within the next week or so . as for tires and lift i was thinkging of looking into something around 4' and would like 33 bfgs mudders , and for the lockers ... mind giving me some 101 lessons lol .. what will i need to do and look to get for getting lockers and what kind of work will need to be done ? , this is my first 4x4 not really a " mall crawler " i want something to bring out have some fun and drive to work the next day lol.... its also my daily soo....
get the bare minimum lift to clear the tires you want, rather than to look cool... on difficult trails, a minimum lift would be better than a big lift even though the big lift looks cooler and has more ground clearance...

with the minimum lift, your centre of gravity is lower, and it feels much less sketchy when the truck has a wheel in the air or is teetering, or is leaning to one side...

lockers ftw... my buddys bone stock 4runner with the factory E-locker in the back out wheels most jeeps with 35" mud tires, big lift and open diffs...

again thank you for all the input , yea i figure 4 inch will be enuff prob the right hight to clear the 33's i dont want to go to big i just want it to look right you know ?? , as for the lockers .. maybe ill look into them before i do anything, may long i seem to have some free time so im going to change all the fluids and oils , and locate all the grease spots and lub them up . where is a good place to get lockers from for a good price ? as for tools yea im starting to get stuff to gether for when i do go out " camping " and small solo trips , never know what you can get yourself into, CB radio. on it , that would be fun to have , ill try and post up some pics of my jeep after work tomorrow . today, i just look off the side steps and crappy mud flaps .... made a huge difference in the look of the jeep already... as for intake and exhaust looks like i can get a decent hook up from work with a cold air intake from K&N and a nice megnaflow cat back. should all be some fun once its done.:grinno:

if you plan on putting a snorkel on it skip the cold air intake

[90Rxs5]

thats bada$$

[90Rxs5]

i dont think ill be putting a snorkel on it

[T4RAWR]

i dont think ill be putting a snorkel on it

should be alright then with the CAI.

although before i do an exhaust/intake i'd go for lockers for sure. 100 times more useful.

[nickmak]

well its stock except for a couple of things

yeah thats a trail gear rear bumper, theres a lot of trail gear parts on it from NSOR

[90Rxs5]

yra first thing first are the lockers for sure

[T4RAWR]

yra first thing first are the lockers for sure

yeah,

you dont necessarily need a front one. if you have IFS a front one isnt really recommended although you can do it.


a rear one is a definitely a plus.


i'd go with rear locker, lift and tires for now. thats probably all you need to get your ass out of the most extreme situations that dont require winching.

[firebird79_00]

Nice, i work right next to there at Dueck.

[nickmak]

I'm going to triangle beach after work to see if my front driveshaft still binds!

[T4RAWR]

I'm going to triangle beach after work to see if my front driveshaft still binds!

have you been running it in 4hi on dry pavement? :suspicious:

[nickmak]

No no the driveshaft binds somewhere when the suspension travels down and blows out u-joint cups and c clips. I'm sick of fixing it on the trail but I think it's fixed

[nickmak]

I put in 4 low when I'm in traffic, less clutch slipping hehe

[Phil@rise]

Have you "clearanced" the yokes? I might be headin down to triangle tonight to flex out my scout if I get the rear suspension lifted and front shaft done.

[nickmak]

Yeah I clearanced the shit out of it before I started welding (square tube) but it wasn't enough. I managed to fit a carbide grinding bit into the cv to clearnance it even more so I'll see if it blows apart. What time are you heading to triangle, I might see you there

3rd gen T4Rs any good? or 1st gen?

[T4RAWR]

3rd gen T4Rs any good? or 1st gen?

1st gen for bogger/dedicated trail rig.

3rd gen (with the 3.4L) if you want something you can actually use on and off the trail.

3rd gen you can also find one with rear e-locker to make life a little easier. Both are pretty capable on trails once you put a small lift and good tires on em.

:fullofwin:

[Gh0stRider]

that 3rd gen looks pretty sweet.

saw a few nice 1st gen builds on t4r.org

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/SSC89/DSC03724.jpg

[T4RAWR]

Yea the 1st are a classic. Love the design and I'm hoping to get a trail rig built up when I have the time and money.

Either way you can't go wrong. If you're looking long term project 1st gen might be the way to go but if u wanna mod slightly and do everything with it I'd go with the 3rd gen. If you check the 3rd gen forum on t4r.org there are some amazing rigs built up.

[murd0c]

I like my 3rd gen other then being shitty on gas with my 33's on it. Great truck in which I can take anywhere I want.

[T4RAWR]

Any mods besides the 33s?

[?uestlove]

I tried buying a 1st gen to build into a trail rig but its hard to find them with a clean frame. That's why I sas'd my 2nd gen, the frame is mint. The frames don't always rust from the outside, they rust from the inside out so the frame looks solid.

[T4RAWR]

you can bring it on some easy trails just for fun. plus that thing looks brand spankin new you should be able to get everything fixed under warranty :)

5"'s of lift, rock sliders, did the rear locker mod so I can use it any time. The simple stuff for now.

I'm down for some easy trails :) I drove it to Sumas Mountain and there's a gravel section that leads to a park that was pretty fun. I remember going in my IS350 and it was bumpy as hell, with the SUV it felt like tiny pebbles.

There's an area right behind Silvercity in Richmond my friend told me about but I haven't had a chance to check it out.

It's called triangle behind silver city in richmond. I've had good times there especially tire fires at night lol

Thanks for the name, I remember he mentioned triangle something...He said it's pretty sweet at night, start a tire/camp fire and not get hassled.

Is it mainly hills or like a huge mud pit?

My suv is stock so I don't want to get stuck lol

[murd0c]

you always have a chance of getting stuck and it's a lot smaller then it used to. But theres some mud/water sand. It's alright for what it is.

I haven't been there for a year but last time I went with Phil@rise and we had a massive tire fire with skidder tires cause companies used to dump them there and theres a shit ton laying around.

We had to stand back about 30' massive flames good times, good times.

[NLY]

Haha nice I'll check it out with some friends just in case I get stuck.

I did have a question though, if I was to drive into a large puddle and water/mud/dirt splashes up into my engine bay, wouldn't that harm the car especially if it gets the alternator/distributor wet?

Sorry for my newb question, I'm only asking because I remember driving through very heavy rain once, (not in a SUV but in a 4 dr sedan) and the car stalled and stopped running from going through a puddle.

[T4RAWR]

a little splash should be ok, no different than driving in a big rain puddle.


more concerned about whether or not your breathers for diff, transmission and transfer case are located in higher places.

[murd0c]

You will be fine driving in water that at least covers your wheels. Just don't park there lol

[NLY]

Maybe I should go off road the day before my oil change since they'll wash the car anyways :rofl:

[T4RAWR]

if you are in richmond or planning to head out to triangle i wouldnt mind coming out to check out what an ML can do.

i'll bring a recovery strap and shackles just incase.

[Phil@rise]

Haha probably not considering the price of parts if anything breaks lol

You may be regretting that when warranty is up and ya gotta start fixin it or when the resale kills you.

[T4RAWR]

i am really curious as to how the ML will do off road.

rizo; you in the richmond area? we can head out to triangle beach and see what that ML can do.

[MindBomber]

Anyone who takes an ML off road must have balls the size of coconuts, or at least a very large checkbook.

You could buy a decent bush truck for an equivalent cost to repairing a bit of damage done to an ML trying to take it off road.

Looks good, we need to have a meet at Triangle Beach one day. Even though i dont have my ram ill bring my Mustang up the paved area and do a couple burnouts

[T4RAWR]

lots of people have been laying down strips on the paved section. i saw a few guys putting sand down on the road for J turns and power slides and what not.

[firebird79_00]

Yea i saw that, I even got the 35's spinning in the dodge. :fuckyea:

But seriously, anybody up for a meet there one day?

[T4RAWR]

i wouldnt mind showin up.

i'm hoping rizo brings his ML.

[murd0c]

first thing you should do is take off your side step bars. If you do plan on taking it off road you will rip them off and cause more damage then its worth. As well it looks way better witch out them

[murd0c]

there used to be..........:devil:

motherfucker did you burn them all? lol

[T4RAWR]

side steps need to stay until i get sliders

[murd0c]

at least you have plans on getting sliders. I will let it slide then lol

[Eternal_SiR]

thats a Totron.. Side by side with a Rigid they look almost identical, output is about the same, price is much cheaper. For something you might bash when your wheeling, it made sense to go that route.

contra switches. nice choice.

thinking of wiring in an aux fuse panel to deal with all the extra goodies.

Its totally worth it, i have aux fuse panel in the dash, in the rear, and one in the engine bay. Also planned what other goodies i wanted and ran extra wires and relays for future expansion, all i need to do now is hook up power, a switch, then the aux item and they are good to go. Master kill switch in the engine bay which cuts power to all aux items incase of a short, or if i was to leave the truck sitting for a long time, it'll reduce the slow current draw.

You got no up travel in that canyon. Thing must ride pretty harsh. Moving the front axle forward about 4" will help considerably with that and its approach angle. What diffs are in it?

Its got 4" of up and 4" of down travel.Its still really soft.Plus the tires are really soft at 20 psi so it rides better than alot of vehicles on the road.I do plan to move that diff 2" forward tho as anymore forward and I have no room for the steering box.The diffs are re-done blazer diffs with 5.13's and lockers

portal axles have the reduction in the portal boxes, so you'll already have an insanely low crawl ratio without duals. i know that because my friend picked up clark hurst industrial axles (portals). they have the weirdest 6 bolt lug pattern you'll ever see

Posted via RS Mobile

^hes got a point, depends on what you're looking for.

gonna be biased and throw it out there, for a new suv, 4runner.

the xterra hasnt been updated in a long while and i personally am not a fan of the looks.

4runners got a rear locking diff, rear solid axle, body on frame, skid plates, decent ground clearance, proper transfer case with 4lo and 4hi and other features were designed for off roading like the high air intake (i've driven mine with water to the bottom of the headlights numerous times). the fj cruiser has similar characteristics but i personally never really like the blindspots and the suicide door to get into the rear.

alot of hardcore off roaders will knock the front IFS but honestly if you're looking for something to cruise fsr's and do easy trails with its a good choice to go with.

pathfinder has gone unibody and independent suspension as has the explorer so i would rule those out.

if you're wanting to go american i'd get the jeep wrangler in rubicon trim. electronic sway bar disconnect with front and rear lockers. whats not to like? decent ground clearance and a retarded amount of aftermarket accessories to mod to your hearts content.


bottom line:

if you're going for a family vehicle to have fun in the outdoor i would opt for a 4runner, preferably in trail edition trim.

if you're looking to build up a crawler able to handle all that the trails can throw at you then go with the jeep wrangler.


my 4runner as it currently stands:

i destroyed the entire front passenger side and my running boards with about $3000 worth of damage :whistle:

let's just say the next time i need to cross a 12 foot wide washout with a make shift log bridge i'm gonna get someone else to go across first :fullofwin:

[Xu.Vi]

Thanks for the insight as the 4runner is the only non-american car I have been doing research on - and so far i'm liking it! The second car I am looking at is the 2013 Chevy Avalanche...heard good things about it and with $9500 off tagged price (2013 is its last year for the Avalanche) it's quite an offer.
I don't necessarily have a "use" for it other than driving around town and that occasional "offroading" in my back ally way haha. I'm more interested in just overall craftsmanship of the vehicle (ie. safety, reliability, comfort, torque....etc). Price wise, defiantly nothing over 50K. Thanks guys.

sounds like the avalanche will do just what you need it to as well, although isnt the avalanche more of a truck than an suv?


whatever you decide on make sure you go test drive it more than once


see if you can find a dealer willing to let you take it on a bit of dirt :D

[Brianrietta]

Picked up a 97 4Runner last night. It has no offroad damage to speak of, only Richmond damage. A-ok with me because I consider cars and light standards to be good practice for hitting rocks and trees.

Fully loaded including locker and only 188,000 km's.
