83 Jdm as flop build, ditched the 88

[mattlosch]

yeah maybe i will do the 4.7 in my case right now... just for a start if not i can always go duals later, i dont think i would benifit from duals since im still such a noob to this sport

[axled89]

that or get your self a couple of top shift /tcases and start to build them on the side.   then just wheel with what you have now.    that's what i did.    love the duals and there not hard to build. if you have the basic mechanical skills.    you will find that you are going to want them later.  chain case's i guess aren't that strong
                                                        never broke my v/6 one i had.

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

the ultimate case setup in my opinion it duals with the MC07-R10 adapter (flat belly with skid) with a 23 spline 4.70:1total spline gearset in the rear case and a longfield output shaft... lots of cash though

[89sastoyo]

it is a lot of cash but im wishing i had 4.7s and a clocked adaptor at the moment... lol.

Just becaus your a newb doesnt mean duals aren't amazing. It is hard to explain but just withing the last couple of years wheeling has changed so that without them its like a totally different world. You don't always need them but it makes things so much nicer on your rig not to mention you can have a lot more fun. Not necasarily by doing harder stuff you can just play around on stuff and not just hit it.
But a single 4.7 case is legit as well

[mattlosch]

hmm... well have to see when i get cash what i want to get.. those duals sound awesome though!

[mattlosch]

i got longfield super birfields.. im sorry are those good?? strong?? im a super noob lol and longfield  chromeoly axles, longfield heat treated gears and pinion??? what else is going to be the weak link?

[89sastoyo]

Yeah longs are super legit lifetime garuntee break one send it in get it the next day.. Are they 27 splines or 30 splines do you know?

[mattlosch]

i have no idea... thats just what i was told were in it...

[89sastoyo]

for sure well either way there lifetime garuntee so if they break which is not likely you can just send them in... Whered you buy the truck

[mattlosch]

from a gentleman in stevenson... i looked at probably half a dozen trucks under 5k and man, some people had some junk for alot of money, i wanted something that would be a all around trail rig, i knew i wouldnt be DD and i would trailer most places... so i got this...

[mattlosch]

the guy i bought it from actually daily'd it and needed something for his newborn to fit in, he bought that blue 4runner that was for sale on here and cl for like 7500

[89sastoyo]

ohhh yeah i remember seeing that one now.. and yeah i read it im pretty sure it said it had 30splines so your legit for sure and if it has hub gears im positive it does so  thats good.

[89sastoyo]

And yeah when i bought my first truck i was in the 2grand range and it was like all hoopy hoopy trucks like nothing was legit

[mattlosch]

yeah this was the best i could find and i love it!

[Halladay]

 

[mattlosch]

there are pictures on the first page lol...

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

[mattlosch]

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

hell ya man thats good! dude tell your girl and her friends and your friends to bring the parties to the mountains.... im gonna be canned for sure!

[mattlosch]

haha yeah well see.. i took her wheelin the first time last weekend and she didnt like it at all.. lets just say she isnt the get dirty type.....

[mattlosch]

went up goat last night with a buddy in a jeep that knows the area really well and man, we found some crazy trails, one took us probably hour and a half to do and it was dry! then we went up the back way to the towers which was a fun little rock hill climb.. so far the truck is doing awesome, bumper stayed on with the two welds left too lol after that one trail though i def need lower gearing so there isnt as much clutch action

[mattlosch]

where is the best place to get some t-cases around oregon / washington?? lookin to do duals soon

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

just find the extra case on craigslist and order the adapter from marlin.... DO NOT USE A TRAIL GEAR ADAPTER THEY ARE JUNK!!! you may have to wait for a marlin adapter but believe me its well worth the wait!

[axled89]

just gave you a PM.  mattlosch.    you'll like that.

[mattlosch]

well i gotta get 2 new cases, you cant use the stock v6 chain t-case i have heard.

[mattlosch]

and thanks i will go check that place out!

[toyotanner]

i definately remember seeing this truck on craigslist haha nice.

nice truck!

and as for the tow rig... MUST BE NICE!

[mattlosch]

thanks man, i love it so far, i hate the way it looks so thats going to be one of the first things i change, then after that some dual cases and then some 36'' iroks on some trail ready's.....

my plans are to get rid of all the diamond plate, replace with sheet metal, paint rear beg/cage bumper and sliders black and the cab flat green or black, and probably get a new bumper with a single bend stinger...
