I've got about 4 grand to spend. Right now I've got a tj that I enjoy driving and wheeling lightly. I really don't want to do body damage. So, here's the question that I pose to you all.
Do I put tons under it and try not to trash it too bad or do I spend the money on a decently built truggy or buggy? Here are pics of the 2 that I've found locally and both in the $3500 range.
350 chevy engine and tranny, 9" ford rear, dana front, 373 gears, runs and operates excellent
I have a 90's model Toyota ext. cab rock crawler that must go. It has Longfield 30 spline axles, longfield hub gears, Straight axle Swap, Marlin cage, 4X Innovations tube doors with factory style slam latch, Marlin Hi-Steer, Dual T-cases, 5.29 gears, FROR T- case mount, chevy 63's on rear, S10 springs on front, 5 pt. harnesses front and rear, 22RE with TRD header, mass air meter moved to pass. side of engine to help keep it cooler, Hydro assist steering, 38" swampers, has new brake booster, and 4 wheel disc using all toyota parts, Battery moved to rear, and has 8 gal. fuel cell that will run for a couple days at Harlan. I have a 92 ext. cab frame that is in excellent shape with the IFS removed and a spare straight axle front end that goes with the truck and a short block 22R. I have taken this to Harlan Ky. many times and it does awesome. Motor runs excellent and has around 80K miles
