I'm fine with guiding a few groups if need be. I'd like to roll with those that are ok with being in the " scratches " group. (as the Land Rover guys call them.. lol)
FWIW I've seen a stock 62 go all over Uhwarrie with the aid of a good spotter and a patient driver. The only hard part would...
Yup! That's my rig in the avatar. I'm partly responsible for Rob's new addiction. We'll be lifting his Runner this weekend and then I'll be teaching them basic wheeling principals and techniques.
I'll be caravaning with two 4Runner's on their maiden voyages and a nasty (nicely done) Cherokee if that's cool with you guys.
Oh... and I'm bringing my junk too!
I agree w/ Christo.
I've broken them in Moab, in Steamboat, GWNF, Tellico, and Dayton.
If you "practice" and memorize the torque settings, it should take 45mins MAX.
Air tools/power tank will make it MUCH faster.
Cone washers might be your only slow spot.
I carry spares as well as...
Equal works well to balance tires as well.
I used it in my 38.5" SX's when I had em.
For what it's worth, I can do all of URE with my 35" BFG A/T street tires. I hardly ever put my MT/R's on if I'm just hitting URE.
Unless it's raining out there (ugh red clay mud) an A/T does well.
The pic...
EXCELLENT points all 'round.
All I will add is that with my experience with Ford Lightnings, 03-04 Ford Cobras, and certain Jaguars, the " published " parasitic loss is MORE than 1/3 hp.
Ben makes an excellent point about the particular design of the S/C and its function, but I've found...
I think we're ignoring the issue of parasitic drag in reference to the S/C. I know all about intercooling a TRD S/C on a FZJ80... I made one. We used a Spearco core, custom end tanks, blah blah blah.
Production wise, I'd figure it'd retail around $1k or so. Not THAT much more efficiency...
Whew... I need the Cliff's Note's version of that....
Lemme help you guys out.
Cross drilling is NOT for weight savings, and neither is slotting.
Cross drilling and slotting resulted from OLD STYLE race pads, that would emit a vapor under use, and make the pad vapor " float " off the...
What??? Daniel IS a walk in the park... EVEN in the rain... I'd rate it a 2 trail out of 5.... you my friend, have apparently never been to Moab, Dayton, or Tellico....
Kodak is the hardest thing out there, and it's not that hard.... :-D
Have fun you guys!

I just rebuilt the front axle about a week ago.
I still have an annoying squeak/click going on, but it's running great. Got some new shoes and some new " bling ".... Some silver wheels and some 315 BFG A/T's for road rubber... got some beadlocks and some IROK's coming for play rubber...
