Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So how do you guys go about top shifting the chain drive transfer??

Again Max is right.

You see, here in the states the Tacoma's, FJ Cruisers, 4Runners, and Tundra's are all either top shift or electronic shift transfer case's.

Here is the completely electroninc shifting case in my 2005 Tacoma ...

I can't say that you guys are correct. I'm with Ruff. You are putting crawler gears in the front box which is putting roughly 4 times the torque load on the second transfer input shaft than what it was built for.

With a standard transfer up front and crawler gears in the rear you are only putting ...

Ive been told the opposite, no disrespect guys, but Ive been told thats its better to put the front crawler case (4.7's) in LOW and the rear factory case in 4HIGH and then just shift through the auto through the gears for whatever speed you need/require....

I was doing this on the weekend in the ...

but as you say everyone is entitled to their opinion ...

I have a current shape Hilux and find it to be great on the road and in the bush there is not much it cant do even if it lifts a wheel every now and then.
A few well thought out mods realy changed mine from OK to Awsome here are a few of those mods

1. 3 inch lift
2. 32 in Tyres
3. Rear Locker
4 ...

they are ok as a tourer but in the bush they do lift wheels the travel is not there

the power of the diesel is ok but its not that great
the fuel economy is ok but not that great either

for the same coin you can buy an 80 series pay some one to make it a dual cab
pay some one to put a 100 series ...

I think the new Hilux is one of the best platforms to start from to build one of the best off road vehicles available. I've built a number of one off 4WD and if I had my choice I would have started with the new Hilux but we can't get them here in the States.

Go with the new Hilux. You won't be ...

[quote="MR04WD"]What leaves do you run in the rear of this truck,& why is it that you stayed with leaves rather than go with coil-overs in all 4 corners?[/quote

The leafs in the rear are Deaver springs and the reason we went went leafs is because we ran out of time to figure out the coilovers for ...

Working on coils for the rear right now. Didn't have enough time before this run.

[quote="xplot"]leafs are good :) but no shocks in rear i see the rear must flex reallly good[/quote
There are shocks in the rear. Bilstien 14" travel 9100's with remote resevoirs.

If you look close at the picture on the trail you will see the resevoirs attatched to the v shaped tubes on either side ...

Thank you! We like the Hilux because it has a fully boxed frame where the Tacoma does not. We boxed the frame on mine in certain places because of the ...

Hello all. I'm new to this board and I'm in California, USA and I'd like to share with you what we're doing to a brand new Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 Sport. With only 3,600 miles on it we decided to do a solid axle swap on it. The entire build up will be covered in the new 4WD Toyota Owner ...
