Well I finally had things together enough to go wheeling with my new 1 tons. Unfortunately on the first obstacle I sheared two bolt on my cross-member and melter my positive battery terminal and was done for the rest of the day but I did get two pics of the pile climbing a big ledge. Here are some pics and I will post a video later today.   |

I have DRW axles and until I get H1s i am running the dually rims for the backspacing. I know its ghetto but it got me out wheeling faster.
I was born and raised in San Diego and have been out to the hammers a couple of times in high school but never had my own rig. I am excited to get back and wheel it with my own rig!

I have a dana 20 t-case and 4.10 in the axles. I would really like 5.13s in the axles. then I could run bigger tires. The teralow gears for the 20 are really expensive for a small increase in gearing
I am wheeling in Idaho, that is where I am going to college, but I will be done in December and back in San Diego to get some SD wheeling back in my blood!

What trans? LoMax Dana 300 is bombproof but not cheap. I have a buddy with an xtra 300 I think. I'd go 5.13 with whatever tires those are, look like 38s. The way you're geared, you're going to kill your trans if it's and auto or clutch if it's a stick. You'll have more control too. I'm not into the toyota crowd million to one gearing thing but you need to get lower. |

I have a th400 and yes I do need 5.13 gears but funds are thin so I am just going run what I got. Yeah they are 38s shocks would also help with how bouncy the ride is  |

Yikes, 400s are geared high. That will be hard on the tranny. Try not to slip the torque converter too much and maybe put a trans temp gauge on it.

I am installing a 6 pass tranny cooler in the next week or so, that will help along with a temp guage.

I am jealous how cheap the toyota guys can run dual cases. you guys can buy two cases and the adapter and for what it just costs for the adapter I need. That sucks, I am jealous.
