[Mike Honcho]

Well i know im not home yet, but i just picked up this truck a couple weeks ago. (thank you Ryan T for going to pick it up)
specs:
97 Tacoma xcab
3.4 V6 (5VZFE)
5spd R150

Shit... throw some lockers and 35 boggers at it and call it good... Thats a nice looking rig

[Bronco85]

Looks like it would be good, with some tires and a locker, Thats pretty much what Wayne did on his Taco....

[wayne]

yup it did great if i didnt need it for a DD for the wife i would still be wheeling it .

[Mike Honcho]

ya, They do good stock, i was able to drive my brothers halfway thru fordyce trail with 1 broken front CV and the elocker was in perment lock mode.
But it will be way sweeter built on my 1tons and 40's

[ryantowry_81]

that thing stock as it sits went 50 miles back eureka and even climbed monument in the rain/snow

[TonyM]

I think Ray just wants to build something One tons and 40s would bring the cool factor a little bit, but capability wise, I wouldn't think it'd be worth the work.

[ryantowry_81]

i have heard alot of people say bronco's dont need over 39.5's too but where did you go with it?

I've never heard anyone say that. Broncos need bigger tires because they are heavy as shit

fawk ya i wanna build somthing. Its been a while. besides being my DD, It need to be capable and stout enough to play in the rocks, being the reason for the 1tons and 40's

plenty of people get most places with 38's and smaller on broncos, you went 44's to go those other places, same with putting 40's on a toyota, to go those other places others cant go, and you cant deny the unique supply of one ton axles we have up here in alaska and the streanght is hard to beat for the price.

Anyone ever narrow 1 tons? (not trying to highjack ...)
Got a link?

[Mike Honcho]

umm, im not sure. I had a friend with a narrowed D60R and a HP44F.

[Mike Honcho]

Heres a link to one, but again its a D44. but the process is pretty much the same. Cut down the tube on the long side, reweld it, order a custom inner and done.

really? i thought he had a 60 front..huh i know it is a 14 bolt rear and that they are full width.

I am a firm believer in 1tons with 39.5 boggers under a bronco. Since I have gone to that combo I have had alot less issues. Sure a couple more inches I could throw on some 44's and turn them with no problems with the 4 speed installed......





















Ok I am not going to fool anyone I am just to broke right now to get 44 boggers or I would ANyone need a set of new 39.5 boggers lol
