Hey guys. I searched but didnt find exactly what I am lookin for. I have a 1980 Toyota pickup and just got a hold of a free set of 37/12.50/16 Procomp Xterrains that I want to put on. Assuming 5.29 gears front and rear, would you go with a ceramic clutch(marlin) or metalic clutch(lcengineering)? what are the pros and cons of each?

On a side note, what other parts will I need to make the tires work? power steering pump upgrade? anything else? Thanks for the help.

Hmm, You COULD do Hydro assist, If you think you need it...

I would go with the marlin clutch, Only because I have heard some mixed reviews about the LCE engineering...

 

Dont know about the metalic clutch but my next clutch is an HD ceramic. With my engine upgrades and can get my clutch Smoking Bad with 31s, with 35s i have to take it easy on the skinny pedal. I literaly thought my truck was on fire one time there was so much smoke coming from under my truck with less than 10k on the clutch.

 

A cheap stock replacement clutch has the holding force of 600-900 ft lbs of torque.

Marlins clutches have over 1500 ft lbs of torque.

LC, i have never looked into. Im a huge support of Marlin.

Marlins cost around 250 last I checked.

 

You might have to do the big brake upgrade

(Vented FJ60 rotors and 91 V6 4Runner calipers and MC)

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I may go with the marlin clutch then if it comes down to it. Is the hydro-assist the way to go as far as the power steering goes? Also, can you give me more info on this brake upgrade? Remember, this will not be street driven, it will be trailered everywhere it goes. Thanks.
