Post your 1:1 Rock Crawler

[ittybitty]

I'm not sure how I missed this thread. I posted some pics in the favorite off road rides, but this thread fits a little better. Here's a quick rundown of what I'm running:

1988.5 Samurai w/ stock motor (carbed), tranny
Tcase with 6.5:1 gears
'85 Toy front axle w/ Longfield 30's, cyrod 5.38's in a high pinion 3rd and ARB, trunion bearing eliminator, high steer, hydraulic assist, ARP studs throughout, IFS hubs
'91 Toy rear axle with stock shafts, '98 4Runner ELocker, cryod 5.38's, disc brake conversion
YJ leaf springs at all four corners
100" WB
full cage
37" SSR's on 15x8 2.5BS black steelies
home made twin stick using two stock tcase shifters
Warn x8000i winch with custom splice synthetic line
Corbeau seats and 5 point harnesses

It's maiden voyage this past May was to Colorado and Utah. We ran Billings Canyon first then went to the Rusty Nail the next day and spent some time at Area BFE where we ran Helldorado.

I had a slight miscalculation this past weekend...

Ittybitty if you don't mind me asking about how much do you have into yours? i'm fixing to build another one similiar to yours.

 

[ittybitty]

not counting the cost of the samurai itself ($400) or tires and wheels i have right at $4,000 in all the parts and materials. i did ALL of the work myself including gear setups tubing work.

on a side note...my great grandfather owned a mayfield dairy farm there in mcminnville!

 

[country_crawler]

Where in McMinnville did he have it at and when?

How much air are you running in your tires. They look really stiff in the pictures. I run 4 psi in the rear and 6 psi in the front with 42's on nonbeadlock wheels.

"Gangreen" 89 YJ sitting on 42" IROCKs with D60 spooled up front and a 14B spooled rear 4 linked F&R with Chevy 350sb and 350 turbo tranny NP205 t/c
and full hydro steering
Shown here at Natural Bridge in KY

nothing spectacular but gets the job done.

1993 jeep cherokee
3 monsterous inches of lift.
4.0L HO
AX15 5 speed
NP231
Toyota axles front and rear, locked. 4.10 gears (1st gen front, IFS rear) crusier rotors IFS calipers blah blah blah
(inverted T steering with 1 ton TRE's)
wrap bar in the rear.
33" TSL tires

the front axle was built with a dana 30 beside it for referance, I dont have a shop so it was built it my moms garage to "bolt in" and it did just that, I had both the toyota axles in myself, over a weekend.

 

[ittybitty]

Good job on the yota axle Fred!

In the pictures from out west I was running right at 10lbs. I'd driven it from my buddies house in Grand Junction to the trailhead and forgot to let some more out. It WAS too stiff. Now I usually run them around 8. I don't have beadlocks on these and won't since they are the reverse offset wheel which means the center of the wheel is shaped different and won't allow me to run the weld on locks with the lock ring on the outside. I'll wait until I can find a little better setup for tires and wheels.

 

[country_crawler]

Try 6 in the front and 4 in the rear. I like that set up on my 42's thats all I run it at.

heres mine a work in progress "thumbsup"

 

[bcrofts]

Here are a few of mine.

 

[rockerrc]

here's my grand it's taken alot of work to get it to this point!

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Nothing major, but a new bumper added. Got a new prototype lift to try for awhile, then hope to straight axle. Got the axle, but need to do some measurements for links and figure steering.

In GWNF VA

Badlands in Attica IN

At the farm a couple weeks ago

You can see the bumper, radiator skid and oil skid I helped design and fab.

bcrofts... Those all your personal or do you build for others as well? Nice rigs.

Are you using the stock front diff?

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Are you using the stock front diff?

Yep. Stock 3.73's. Hell, sometimes it even spins both front tires. Cant justify the cost of putting in the 4.10's I have when I am want to scrap the whole front setup eventually anyway.

[needs2hunt]

no longer have her... back is screwed up so no more wheeling for me...

 

[DareDiver]

Outback

my 86 soon to get the buggy treatment

Is that an Outback station wagon or no in the front of the line.

 

[FROADER]

^ Not an Outback, but I'm betting a mid to late 80s Subaru wagon on a yota frame.

 

[tj on 37s]

My Tj, I got it new in 02 and have been working on, wheeling, work, wheel... ever since.
