IMO i think toyota 4x4s are the best trucks for offroading from the factory. they have alot of ground clearance, are light weight, and reliable. the springs look like they sag alot in the rear so i would say all you need to do is some 2" shackles for the rear and if your that worried about traction lock the rear. if you lock the front it will stress the CV shafts and theres a chance of snapping them
2000 Taco 2.7 4x4 Manual noob questions about 4x4
Hey Guys,
Not really my realm.
I use to have a 2003 Yamaha Grizzly 660 4 wheeler.
I had a button to push which put the vehicle in 3wd.
both rear and one limited slip front wheel pulled.
I had another button I could press can lock all 4 wheels to pull simulatenously.
I dont have any idea really what my brother has in the above truck.
I speculate that when he manually locks the hubs its one driving in the read and one driving in the front.
The questions are.
1. How does stock 4x4 function and describe what pulls when?
2. What can be done to make both front wheels pull?
3. What is the most reliable/cost effective purchase to make the venhicle more capable for off road use specifically for an Alabama ******* hunter such as my brother. The logging roads are a little rough sometimes.
This truck is his daily driver. He just added new set of Remington LT235 Mudd Brutes yesterday.
Seems to me (although I truly am ignorant to 4x4) there is something that can be done to improve off road performance enough to make the truck more capable off road without investing thousands of dollars.
I appreciate the help fellas.
BTW this truck has 268k and the original belts were changed yesterday.
Its still running the original spark plugs.
