it does well enough for now. takes alot of dragging on the skids, sliders, and......frame to get over some rocks

i just installed a marlin clutch. the pedal feels surprisingly easy to push down. almost easier than the stock one. anyone running a marlin clutch on a 3.4 have anything to say?

i got some 34" super swamper radials, and made a gas tank skid out of 3/16th. also bought a belly pan skid that attaches to the front skid. all 3/16th. took a bunch poser shots at my dads work. i wanted to see if the rear would rub anything, and how the new coils out back flexed.

these tires are sweet

and this is my "flat belly" 3/16th front to back. kinda tough to see but the gas tank skid i made is perfectly in line with the bud built belly pan.

its all ready for the northeast toyota mini takeover at rausch creek offroad park on thursday-sunday

RIrunnerSR5 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 28, 2008, 03:50:47 AM »

i paid $267 shipped for the belly pan with out having it powder coated. if you want powder coating its an extra $50. they work great, i slammed and dragged on those all weekend at rausch creek

That's always gonna happen on IFS rigs if you want clearance, plus loaded down with gear will level it right out. Nice 4Runner looks like a bunch of fun.

the truck does very well. it goes about as far as a rig can go without a SAS.

thats exactly what happens. when its loaded up for wheeling and camping it sits with the back just a tiny bit higher. i could lift the front a tiny bit more to make it look a lil better but then it would kinda look like its sagging again when fully loaded. the back is 2" higher than the front when lightly loaded. guess ill havta sas it this winter to match
