Tell me about your clutch
Brief description of what I have before I get to far along....86 4Runner w/22RE, 3" body lift sitting on 33's, a little droppy in the rear, didn't come with a transmission when I pulled it home.
I picked up a transmission and transfer case yesterday and hope to do the install soon...this weekend would be nice. It will be a toy, muddin, trail riding, mild climbing/crawling, definately not a DD. Which clutches should I be looking at and why? OEM, Center Force, LUK, MC.
I am sure the question has been asked before, but "clutch" in the search engine comes up with broad results. Feel free to point my dumb ass in the right direction.

I ran a napa clutch but had issues with it slipping while trying to crawl over large rocks. I smoked it really bad twice and it continued to work. For normal driving it worked great.
Now I have a marlin HD and it feels and functions just like the napa clutch but it never slips.

I have a Napa clutch in my truck and with 140hp and 225/65/15's on the rear in a 2wd drift truck, I slip clutch alot in higher gears. It also takes alot of abuse though, the clutch kicks and feathering are what kills it. I would NOT rate this clutch worthy as a drift clutch, or where clutch kicks and high heat occur. After 8,000 miles I'm starting to wear it out. Although, I will say, even after what I put it threw, it still does it's job if I'm easy on it. The Napa clutch is a good clutch, just isn't worthy of super tough situations or high HP. But, for the $113 I paid for it, I can't complain...

My motor personally, how it sits right now, probably not quite 140, but with big valve head, big cam, free flow exhaust, advanced timing and stage 1 porting, combined with running 110 Sunoco when I'm at the track, it's probably close.
Now, 140 in general? Easy. Called forced induction.

Aisin OEM or the Marlin HD is the way I would go. You can't go wrong with either one no matter what you'll be using the truck for. That said, I had a Marlin HD (which is an AISIN it just has a higher clamping force than stock) on my old 86 4Runner and I can't tell the difference between that and the stock AISIN I have on my current 90 pickup.

I love my Marlin HD 1200
Haven't been able to make it slip yet, and to the pedal, it doesn't feel any harder than an OEM clutch.
FYI, Marlin's clutches ship in Aisin labeled boxes with Aisin part numbers, so unless I'm mistaken, Marlin's clutches ARE Aisin, which is obviously an OEM manufacture for Toyota

I order the HD clutch kit, along with a new master and slave cylinder (that were both Aisin), so I had a bunch of Aisin boxes laying around, lol

True but Marlin works with the manufactures to get the upgraded versions and the best quality (performance). Just like he works with the gear cutters for toyota to build him new gear sets for trannies
