im gonna have to say the black bug is the same bug as the orange one.. how many people out there would build a bug on rocks with 46" michelins? Also note the orange ones lights you can see he just caged around them....

They are different.
The orange bug is running different suspension and tires.

I would call this unusual because it isn't very common to see a runner this new done up, especially as well as this one is. I love it. Diamonds/4.88's/arb's/linked both ends.

that runners BAD         man!!!! if i had a newer runner, . . . and a bunch of time, . . . . and a sweet shop, . . . . and a boat load of spendable moneys, i'd totally build that ha ha

[bleakhorizon]

to my AMAZMENT... it actually sees trail duty.... never would of thought.... most rigs like that around here never see gravel lol.... i would wheel it....

Thats about the only way I'd own one of the 4th generation 4runners. Stock and even slightly modified they still look terrible. That ain't so bad.

[yota_krawler]

the 5th gens look like mini vans.... the 4ths are ok but that one looks pretty sweet!!!!

[bigarms23]

tims runner came out great his is one of the few 4th generation 4runners that wheels well

Man you gotta see the potential in things!! Anything can be made to be a sweet a$$ krawler, Toyotas just happen to be the best though, regardless of what generation       ha ha

Eye of the beholder though!!     

[yota_krawler]

[axled89]

x2 that was pretty sick.

[yota_krawler]

i wanna know how they got it in there

[joeycool00]

i wanna know who they got it in there

Huge freakin shoe horn LOL

[fade]

cut everything out of the bay. Cut all the drive train out. Then welded the unibody to a frame maybe?

[bleakhorizon]

i didnt watch the whole video but easiest way would be just throw it on a dodge frame..

[geddofab]

   my geeks would love the vans

[minicrawlin]

ok what about a 5th gen.....

i dunno man, the tech into those things are crazy, as much as it would more then likely suck dealing with all those computers and such, if you could figure a way to collaborate the tech with our tried and true systems i'm sure it'd be killer beyond what we've dealt with!!

As far as looks, once you get a bunch of body damage to any Toyota with some flexability and tires above 35", it'll look sweet! ha ha Chicks dig damage right??!!     If not, . . . .  i now know why it's so hard to get a woman these days lol

[NITE KRAWLERS]

You get woman dude?

[minicrawlin]

You get woman dude?

ya ya son, all day long it's what i do kid! . . . .  Like actual women, not like the made up "wife" you have, . . . . . . dam POSER!! ha ha No no i'm kidding, your not a poser, you just play one on TV ha ha

Here's a picture of my buddy Darren's Datsun at last year's off-road truck show . '77 Datsun king cab with a Buick V6 , Klune V , Linked front , Taco rear springs , Dana 60s with 42s . Perfect example of a "Cool And Unusual Rock Crawler" .

[iNfErNaL]

It works well too   

[NITE KRAWLERS]

It works well too   

By the looks of the body it looks like it works and goes places to bro!! Killer ride!

[yjay]

I will own one of these.

[swapped89]

Why Nissan? Why not a new 4runner

[yjay]

I've always loved how they look, and Calmini makes a bolt on sas for them that is a link setup. The only welding is to the donor axle that is a Wagoneer 44. Stupid simple. Not real sure about the rest of the aftermarket for Nissan.

They also make 3.92 to 1 t case gears for them, or you can do this, a Dana 20/Nissan tx10 doubler.

I've gotta admit, built Xterras and Frontiers do look kinda cool. I probably would never do it, but they don't look bad if done like that IMO.

[bleakhorizon]

the 3.3 is a dog.... but the supercharged version is adequate

they fly well


but dont swim very well

[IronClad]

Why Nissan? Why not a new 4runner

because toyotas arent the end all be all of the wheeling world.. people actually like different brands..  i really dig that xterra tbh
