Supra 4x4

Wheeler

Well I got back Saturday night or Sunday morning at 2:30AM. My Supra motor was flawless as usual. I did break a steering arm but replaced it and continued on. Met some great guys and saw some awesome Toyotas. My new spool was awesome too. I didn't even know it was there except on turns from a stop and even that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had 35psi in my tires and I was loaded with spares and camping gear. I am amazed at how easy and unobtrusive the spool was/is.

85 4Runner, R151F, Marlins dual case, high steer,and frnt springs. Chevy rears, TJM bumper w/Ramsey winch, custom rear w/swing out tire carrier and rock rails. BudBuilt cross member w/ 2" drivetrain lift, 33" Boggers. 5:71 gears & F&R spool.

Yup, the spool is not as bad as everyone thinks. I put 500 miles a week on my 4Runner with a spool in the rear. I don't notice it's there at all, except when the tires chirp around turns <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

On a similar note, I moved the ARB'ed diff to the front because of a pinion bearing problem. I quickly realized that I prefer the locker in the front! All of the advice that I have ever recieved went right out the window...
