  1. you might want a good bumper as well. I like the ARB bull bars myself.
    a bit pricey but worth it. the only reason why I bought a 1994 4runner was because the bumper from my old 1989 4runner would fit it. as I said. I really like my bull bar. it also holds a Warn winch as well. only 8000 pounds though.
    but I will say I never had a problem with the old hubs on the 1989 4runner
    but you did have to turn them yourself. the 1994 and my 2016 both have self locking hubs. the 2016 is more of a “mall wagon” than the older 4 runner where.
    another thing you might want to have in your truck is a lot of extra magazines for
    your carry pistol. check out Bereli for good prices on them. Mecgar makes some damn good magazines and if you buy the 10 pack, you get them at a really good price. you have to sign on with them to buy stuff, but it worth the 4-5 emails you end up with EVERY day. they also have a good price on Winchester 9mm active duty ammo right now. I used that in my carry weapon. it works great. kind of a bit hotter plus p ammo

    • Mec-Gar makes very good mags. Sig used to use them almost exclusively as their pistol mag supplier.

  2. Drop it in low range and activate the electronic diff locker, lay on the 120 db aux horn, set the transmission to first, and run the tach up to 2k rpm. At 1000+ Tq the 6.7L will crawl along at 4 mph. If you are stupid enough to get in front of an 8000 lb vehicle and stay there then you will be crushed by the F350. I you climb on my truck I will take you for a ride. I will drop into 2wd and let you know what acceleration feels like with a truck that came from the factory with 440HP. Even though it is 4 tons it can do a low 15 second quarter mile.

  3. Unfortunately I have to get out and lock my hubs to have 4WD, but once I do, I will need something squishy under the wheels to avoid windup if the pavement is dry.

  4. I cant see the picture so I might be way off, only going from the title…… BUT, Fuck auto locking hubs, and fuck the electronic controlled knob transfer cases and fuck independent suspension!!!!!!
    Give me a solid front axle, manual hubs, and a god damn manual shift HI/LOW transfer case. Im fucking tired of this lazy, nerfed bunch of faggots pussifying our society!
    And while Im at it…. Fuck those new Gas cans TOOOOO!!!!
