So ive had alot of questions today and another one jus popped up... With A 90 Toyota 4runner 4cyl 22re manual trans. 538 gears, SAS with Rancho 44044 leafs in the front and Chevy 63s in the rear. In the front it is sitting on a dana 44 with high steer and a 14 bolt in the rear it has a warn 9000 winch, 32 inch steel braded brake lines and a chevy mastercylender for the brakes it has a fully custom front hanger that is bolt on, custom drive line from a 05 ford super duty and double knuckle from a newer Tacoma welded.. My Friend is saying that it doesnt seem like its strong when wheeling? I think hes full of crap.. Any seggestions? O and it has a custom stinger front bumper, smittybuild rear bumper, and rock sliders with some armour underneath.... Sorry for it being so long..

Thanx!

 

ah i think it is strong enough, considering i just wheeled my stock 91 v6 and had to be pulled out of 2 spots due to getting 2tires off the ground and spinning, i dont see why u wouldnt think that set up would hold up unless u are trying to clime strait up a wall. but thats just me.

 

Ya, im not gonna be scaling cliffs with it, but i wanted it to be a versitile as possible.. Mud, snow, rock, dirt, anything really. Do u think i have to worry bout anything wearing out or needing replacing soon? All were installed inbetween last July and last August.

 

Is everything put together well or sloppy that might be what he means by it won't hold up? I mean it's a solid setup otherwise I'm not a fan of danas under a yota but one to his own.

 

Ya, most if not all was ether done proffesionaly or with a proffesional. I dont take short cuts, and take alot of pride in what i do.
But My friend basically thinks his 2002 Ranger with a 3inch lift, 35s, and a locker in the rear can out wheel me in any situation Its kinda funny

 

post some pics but i would say your good as of now and a lot of it depends on the driver.

 

Well ill be honest, im only 17 so obviously not alot of experence haha Jus spoiled But ill get pics soon, dont have any on this computer tho.

 

Your friend would be surprised what these things can do stock let alone with those upgrades. Your friend has been hanging around Jeep owners too long. haha.

 

here's a pic of my stock 91 playing close to my place, only reason i got stuck this day of playing was that i dont have lockers or anything, so i would end up with 2 tires spinning.

 

I don't like the sound of a bolt on front hanger, perhaps its just cause I like to weld. Even Sky Manufacturing says thiers is bolt on to aide in setting the front hanger on, but was left with impression that still needed welded on. Especially if it is just bolted on to the front crossmember not near the reinforcement of the frame rails.

With luck hopefully on of the builders like Wab will chime in.

 

I'll tell ya what breaks. Jeep parts, like Dana 44s.

 

^^nice

 

CV Axels hahah..., even then Its pretty hard to break one. I had a cracked boot on my drivers side..(2nd gen Runner) the only thing that scrwed me after wheeling 20 plus times with that axel. was that, I was turning really hard and I couldnt see and I slammed down on that front axel, And now its toast. The new one I bought only costed me $44 bucks, and the time to do it. (ADD system is a pain.) but Im going to convert it to manual eventually. Do you have SFA on your rig or IFS?

Im sorry but that Ranger Danger sounds like it would die, trying to compete with your Yota. Just look at who made it

Almost everyone at my school owns a Ranger that has a small lift and Big tires, and go play in a small mud hole to say they went wheeling haha. And hey, the Dana 44 has done everything i wanted and more, so no complants there, hah. But ya thanx, jus wanted to see if their was anymore i could really do to make my rig even better.

 

put a sticker of Calvin pissing on ford.....

 

Ya im gonna get that soon, along with a few others. I HATE fords and jeeps. Cant stand them hah

 

get lockers if you dont have them! you will out wheel your friends in 2 wheel drive!

 

Ya im defiantly getting lockers, probably an ARB front, and detroit in the rear tho. Any opinions?
And ya, One of my friends didnt knw how to put his 97 Ranger in 4wheel drive... After he was in the mud with manual locking hubs

 

my bad wasnt paying attention.
