I would really like to build a cage along with on board air with 37s. I am going to go with a selectable locker up front and keep the detroit in the rear. It already has some bumpers that someone made but it really needs a new front bumper with a winch mount. I really want to go dual cases (have the second case) with 4.7s in at least one case. I am also planning to go with the longfields. I did those in my fj40 and loved them. I don't know what I will do to the engine at this point. I did a 1900 mile round trip to the bay area in california and back to idaho going 80 with 33s and 0 problems. I don't know how well it will do with 37s but of course I won't be planning on doing any long trips.
There are a ton of great wheelin places around here. It seems like I find somewhere new every weekend that I go out. I have done some winter wheelin lately that was really good but would have been better if I had better tires. I am really looking forward to building this 4runner. I am really liking the variety of options compared to those of the cruisers (especially the cost).
And yes it is VERY cold. Last week it was staying well below zero. I couldn't believe how well the 4runner started and ran in that super cold weather. I even went wheeling with another 4runner when it was 25 below zero. It was great until I got stuck and had to go out in the cold
I'm actually trying to get this ready for the rubicon for the summer. Hopefully it will be done enough to go to cruise moab.
