lol SAS = IFS in mud. No difference.
Mud < 2 foot rocks Big difference. haha.
You Brian or anyone else will not get stuck on any of the green trials and even some of the blues. One of the obstacles I wanna take on is a black. I've wanted to try it for a while now. There is green bypasses to all of the harder stuff. If the stock H3's can get around that park, we will all do fine. No reason to be afraid of tiny rocks in the middle of the trails and bouncing around.
First time I went to that park I went down a rock hill without a skid plate, and on 31's I was fine. Of course I was talked into it but did just fine.

I'd LOVE to do all three....but just too many other things I'd like to do, first, and limited Cabbage(Plus, trying to save, lol). So I went with the stock rear bumper...which I think looks good, but yeah, those are SICK! LOL. However...... No reason I couldn't eventually do the sliders, soon as I'm done with my motor and caught up with a couple debts! lol.
Thanks for the links, Ian,.... appreciate that. I have his site bookmarked since last year, too! hahaha. LOVE his 4Runner, as well, ....GOOD GRIEF THAT THING IS SICK! FAV 3rd gen out there!

Well i have been thinking, and i think i am gonna go with 4xinnovations sliders, im going with them because they are inexpensive and they have the flare out at the end which i really like.

Did my T-100 brake swap, rotors, calipers, pads, trail gear 1"bore master cylinder and I threw in a new set of wheel bearings and rebuilt my hubs! For the first time since I've owned my 4Runner, I now have a properly working 4X4 system!
The brakes are awesome! They fit almost perfectly just a little trimming of the backing plate. The stopping power is incredible! Definitely a must do!
While I was in there, I noticed my ripped CV boots and bad CV joints time to upgrade! Does anyone have any recommendations? I want something stronger than stock 4Tunner CV's. T-100 CV's, are they compatable? I know you need them if you get the Blazeland long travel kit... 
Things coming soon,
-fiberglass fenders
-rock sliders
-maybe some suspension work...
