holy cow sorry it took me so long to reply, I didn't see that you had posted a question. If you are wanting to cut near the door, this method won't really work for you because the flare goes past the edge of the fender right there by like an inch. It worked for me because I moved my axle back

 

I thought I could share some more of my recent snow wheeling pictures with you guys.

 

 

I also picked up a nv4500 5 speed that I will hopefully get put in soon. I just cant keep the automatic from getting too hot out snow wheeling. The Auto is a blast, but I don't know what else to do to keep it cool.




I started working on a front cover for my dana 60




(and no I didn't take my axle out to do that, it is my brothers axle sitting in our shop)

 

Oh and here's a video, sorry it's so shaky (turn up your volume. You can here my 5.3 screaming in a couple spots)

 

Nice, I have considered moving mine back a bit too.

 

This thread is awesome. Such a nice build. Great work man I'm so jealous of your resources!

 

Built myself a np241 planetary gear range box to go in front of the 205 so i could take out the heavy 203.

 

 

I ended up converting my 241 to air shifted. Here is a couple pictures of the air cylinder set up and my air switch

 

I got a couple action videos of my girlfriend using double low range to creep up a couple steep hill. The snow was horrible for wheeling. If the tires spun at all, it would break through the top crust and just sink down instead of going forward. This was at 2.5 psi in the tires. This was my girlfriends first wheeling trip and she did great. Oh ya and I lost a rear flare haha

 

 

How did you rip off the rear flares?

 

It was just the left rear one, but i'm not sure. We went on a snow night run a few weeks ago, and about half way through, I just noticed it was missing. I didn't hit anything that I know of.

 

It's been a while since an update so here ya go:





I pulled my transmission and transfercases because there were a couple oil leaks from them that were bothering me. While they are out, I rebuilt my doubler and made a new case for it that is slightly different and more simple. I made a new air shifter setup for the 241 crawl box and I ditched the cable shifters for np205 and went with air shifters on that as well. Each shift rail on the 205 has 2 air cylinders so I can still hit High, Nuetral, and Low. Now I will just have 3 toggle switches inside for my triple sticks . (Don't mind the mess of air lines. That was just set up for testing purposes.)












Also while I have the 4runner in the shop, I am putting in new carpet as well as new seats up front.

 

I got some heat/sound insulation put down on the floor up front as well my new carpet and seats. Not much for hardcore tech but I like having a nice looking interior for my daily driver.

 

Here are some pictures after the carpet, seats and center console are finished.

 

Whoa, way cool dude.

 

Awesome build, your attention to detail is impeccable! Dig the new air shifters, and interior is looking sweet too!

You need to make that snow jump pic your new avatar, lol.

 

Very cool! Love all the snow wheeling. Great work with the doublers too.
