I am looking at different builds right now and thinking about doing another sami.
I am wanting to be able to flat tow the rig behind my wifes 3rd gen runner.
4runner specs -
curb weight - 4700 lb.
torque / HP - 217 lb.ft. / 183 HP
towing capacity - 5000 lb.
wheel base - 105.3 in.
Sami specs -
rag top tub with 22r motor trans dual yota tcase and yota mini truck axles on 35's.
So, my questions.
I would ideally like to put the sami on a trailer, do you think I could do that?
The next option would be flat tow, the last time i tried to flat tow somthing with this 4runner it was another first gen 4runner on 33's and it just pushed my ass end around side ways. Is there a required wheel base weight ratio for the tow rig to rig towed deal? for example if my 4runner weighs around 4700 lb, and the sami weighs around 3300 bl. and the 4runner has a wheel base of 105.3 in, what can the max wheel base of the sami be?
Normally i would just build the sami and figure it out from there, but i have an 84 yota that i can build, or the sami. I will build the sami if i can tow it so the decision is based on whether or not a can tow these beest with the 4runner.
Any one have any insight or experience on this?
