The last time I was in Moab I ran into a local guy running dual cases, lockers f/r & 36 inch tires.  He was carrying a set of aftermarket birfs that he was carrying to swap when he broke the stock ones.  He had been carrying them for more than a year.  His truck was tube from the cab back and he wasn't afraid to go the nasty places, but he drove very smooth and smart.

He was wheeling with the builder/1st owner of the Army Green 85 Toy with all tube work behind the cab that has been sold on ebay a couple of times.  Some of you may recognize the truck.
1989 4Runner: Dual Ultimate (Inchworm front & Marlin 4.70 rear), Marlin Twin Stick, 1200-lb clutch, 4.88 R&P, Aussie Front, Detroit rear, 30-spline Longs, Long hub gears, ARP hub and knuckle studs & 35x12.50 Cooper STT PRO tires.  Marlin rear bumper & sliders.  FROR front bumper.  SAS with Alcan springs & Rancho 9000XL shocks.  Budbuilt Bolt-on traction bar.  Custom Interior Cage by Those Guys Rod and Customs.

Moab Tested & Rubicon Approved
