Incredible buildup of a 4Runner on MOG 404's.

That thing is HUGE. Not necessarily built for crawling, but still an incredible amount of work and $$$$ sunk into it...

probally some language along the way - MAY NOT BE 100% WORK SAFE)

IT'S ON PIRATE4X4

Wow. That thing's enormous.

Does he still have the 3.0??

 

His very first post says that he is keeping it. Keep in mind that Mog 404's have 7.56:1 gearing.

 

the coolest thing is the hummer style ctis. *drool*

 

damn, thing is huge and goes up another 10 inches with air suspension aired up

 

yea...pirate4x4 is fooking insane..there are some insane people over there..i like it on yotatech..much more normal

 

thats jsut dumb.... the only reason any vehicle should be that big is little man syndrome compensation

 

yea but it takes a lot of fab work for that kind of stuff. i appreciate his work

 

i've been following it for a while. lots of good, quality work has been put into that Runner. a crapload of money too... the unimog 404 axles are just plain sweet.

 

I dont think he has that at 6' 3"

I think it is a real cool monster rock crawler and mud bogger (if he gets more HP somewhere). Those axles gives lots of rock clearance.

 

That guy has a lot of cash to blow. Really amazing work.

 

I have been watching that build for a while now--that thing is badass!!

 

A 5 gal bucket under the diff.
WOW..

No need to jack it up to change the oil!!!

 

It would be sweet for a hardcore rock crawler...BUT he says in one of his posts that he is NOT building it to be a hardcore crawler. Nice work and all, but what's the point? Doesn't make it less cool...to each his own, I suppose.

 

Then why would you use mog axles on a 2nd gen buildup??
Did he really say that? I didnt read all 10 pages, just looked at final pics.

 

if i had a lot of money, a 2nd gen runner, and a desire to have a unstopable trail rig, i may do this, but i dont have that much money, and know that on yota axles you can make it almost unstoppable.

at least its not as bad as welding on coffe cans and bolting on wings and bodykits for a honda that make 70 hp.

Why not use them? I know people who have Mog's under thier trail rigs, and they are far from just a rockcrawler. Mog's are great because they get you really deep gearing, they come stock with selectable lockers, and have gob's of ground clearance. If you know where to look, you can find steering Mog's for about the same price as a Dana 60.

 

Holy hell.

Read every post of that thread and started giggling when I saw the final result.

Bloody amazing... boogles the mind how much time and money and custom fab work went into that.



Too cool!

 

I like the color

 

I have read every page of that thread while he was building it. He is building it more as an expedition rig that crawler.

The reason to use the MOG axles is the ground clearence and the strength. He sent them to some place in Canada and the put disc brakes on them and put in some really strong axle shafts. Those things are almost indestrucable!

He doesnt plan on keeping the 3.0L for long, he told me he plans on swapping in a 3.4L like mine.
