So I went wheeling for the first time this past saturday. I met up with a buddy who has 2000 4runner 4wd and we went to Down South Offroad Park. I had a blast and was very proud of what my 2wd was capable of. I had to get pulled out 3 times, but other than that she did great. Foot the floor and steer was how I made it through pretty much everything. Here are some pics of the trip.

Me and my buddy at a shell station 5 mins outside the park.

Reppin T4R!


I had a whole lot of fun but it would sure be nice to have a 4wd.... for now I'm going to look into an aussie locker for a rear or at least something that provides 100% lockup when there is slippage but behaves closely like an open diff on the street (no clicking, noise or tire chirping), suggestions are welcome! But I do want to eventually convert my truck to 4wd. After reading up on COB's build and looking into other people's threads the hardest part seems to be wiring and getting everything to work electronically. The diff, transmission, driveshaft, hubs, cv's seem to all go in just like they would on a 4wd but getting them to all function properly electronically is a whole nother story.
