THE RUBICON IN MY RUNNER?

[crawlerdan]

ok, so i have an 87 4runner that i am planning on driving to the mcr4 in sep. i wanna know what yall think about the liklihood of my sucess or dimise
it has the following mods to increase my chances:

33 inch les schwab mud terrains--33.25 tall at 35 psi
a spooled rear axle
a dual case set up including a 4.7 marlin gear and marlins twin stick setup
skid plates that span from the front of the runner to the gas tank
custom .250 wall drivelines with new high strength ujoints
marlin\crazy dan rear bumper
full sliders
front bumper/skidplate combo
155 hp 22re


the drawbacks are:

ifs
no lift
5500 dollar paint job

thats about it

With you driving...baby steps, get it over that hump at the end of the driveway first!

i forgot to mention that i have 6 years experiance runnin the con in everything from a stock satoy, a full comp. buggy, and even a subaru brat, that was weird

[gturismo]

Sounds like a capable rig/driver combo, so should be no problem

[Duffil]

I wouldn't worry, besides, paint is only money, right?

[iNfErNaL]

I say Do-it!,seriously,c'mon...Do it!.

[over_rev]

Shouldnt have a problem,Just dont get greedy and take more difficult lines

[Rocksurfer]

I did the con in my 86 IFS Runner, auto trans, on 33's, a 2 inch body lift, 4.88's and detroits f/r, but I also have done Empire Strikes Back on 31's and a 3 inch lift with only limited-slips.

I think you could do everything except for the Little Sluice.

[gotrocks]

I'd say you could do it with the cases and all.  Gears seem to be the biggest thing with lockers that would get you through.  The only thing that would worry me is the paint job.  It would kill me to get it scratched but if you know you can make it through and don't worry about getting a couple scratches then go for it.

You can make it!  Just wtch the trees, they will come out and bite that paint right off the cab.

Ive got 5 weeks till the roundup...anyone want to donate some money to "my truck needs SAS'd" fund? I didnt think so, I hope I can bum a ride with somebody. I will die if I miss this.

You'll be fine, unless you already cut off the front. IFS just means 3 wheeler, once you get used to the feeling of being on 3 and that it is normal for an IFS.  


Just get those diffs welded and go for it.

[RHG]

I think im going to take a trip to PC and see what my wimpy truck can do. It is in no way 'con material yet. I got BFG A/T's in the 31" flavor and open diffs. no lift. By next year though    look out!

[supermat]

Hey Man, I see you're thinking about the con and prairie city... Let me know when you want to go out to PC if you want company. I live in Vacaville, Drive a silver 89 on 35's. You might have seen it, has half doors. I'd love to tag along.

[Scott39]

Alls you need is a winch, it can drag a stock rig over anything.

[RHG]

  yeah even upside down! Awsome supermat, I dunno if I have seen your truck. Over in the Browns Valley side? I'll give you a call sometime. Are you going to the roundup?  SORRY FOR THE HIJACK!
