Nice work, Thai. Almost as nice as a 4R wheelin'. :)
I liked your friends' comments about your white knuckles :bigok:

I will have some more videos of OME-lifted 4runner, LX470, and Rubicon tomorrow.

Really great videos. On the 'G vs Rockledge' video, I didn't think it would make it and it went up no problem. That is a great vehicle.

Also, I am not so sure how helpful your friends are, thier hands signs are somewhat confusing.

Yeah...our goal next time...only ONE person gives the signs, instead of the whole group!:p I take every obstacle as slow as possible without losing momentum.

Nice vids of the G and one of few that ever see off road. I work over in Cherry Creek here in Denver and I saw two and those owners would have a heart attack seeing your vids.

As promised...more off-roading video from the trip above.

2004 OME-lifted 4runner V6 vs. Hillclimb (same hill as my 2nd video above):

2003 Jeep Rubicon vs. Mudpit:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...57865515394660

Rubicon vs. Rockledge: (It was way too easy for Rubi! Being lightweight sure helped!)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...32866318363632

Enjoy.

How do you think the 4runner would have faired on that hill without the ome lift?

You really could see the atrac making the open differential act like a limited slip coming up that hill. :cool:

Yup, ATRAC worked as advertised. Pretty cool technology. BTW, the ATRAC on the 4runner is better (aka more aggressive) than the ATRAC on my G.

I think that the OME lift helped, but i don't think that it made a big difference. There was not much clearance issue on that hillclimb...the rocks were not that big.

Mr. Lambdebois 04-28-2006 10:32 PM

Do you have anymore video's of the ome 4runner doing anything else there?

Thanks anyway. I haven't come across very many vids of 4th gen 4runners wheeling and was hoping you might have a few more. Thanks for sharing the ones you do have. Great vids.
