That toyota was the truck that made me know that I wnated a truck when I was a little kid. I knew you guys would start bashin on the Renegade but I diddent think it was going to be that severe. The truth is that it is a blast to drive stock. Ive done a litle tinkering to the engine and its a little screamer. Once tied a V6 mustang in a drag race. Handel's really well too. Especially when I hit 89mph and shoot flames all the way down the street on my way into 2025
What is this engine you speak of?
Stock 4.0 H.O. six. I have intake, exhaust, and a computer tune. Im looking into some headers and a cam for it. I dont know if there is something special about this particular engine but I whooped the crap out of a stock TJ with my old renegade YJ.
Heres my sketch of the Renegade Rock. Beefed up axles, 5 inch lift, 35 inch tires, custum tube bumper and rock rails. Maby I should find a wrecked new ram and do a drivetrain swap including the six speed manual and HEMI! WOOHOOO!!
alright since you dont wanna trash it which i dont blame you for, i would go for a 4 inch lift, or either spring over, and a set of 33's. you dont have to tear your **** up to wheel look, at conlee's jeep. do the 8.8 swap toss in some drop in lockers and call it good.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
it was an 85 apparentlyOriginally Posted by Renegade
You're going to have a hard time getting that tire/wheel combo to balanceHeres my sketch of the Renegade Rock. Beefed up axles, 5 inch lift, 35 inch tires, custum tube bumper and rock rails.

you've probably got a lot of carbon on top of your pistons that's bumping up your compression
Im not claiming to be a great artist or anything, just wnated to see what it would look like. Looks pretty cool to me.
If you want to get into wheeling without going bankrupt in a week why not start with a 4 inch lift and a set of 33s. Your axles will hold up to that and if you do starting breaking once a week, then upgrade. Throw in a locker and gears and wheel it. Keep it simple and wheel some, then start planning on where you want to take your build. You may be satisfied with a locked rig on 33's and then you may want to chop it to hell and tube it with some 40s.
I went wheeling with my brother for 2 years before getting my cruiser and in that time hanging out with different people and rigs, I changed my mind a hundred times on how I wanted to build it.

'08 Tundra SR5 Poser Douche Rig on 35's
Amen to this! I wheeled for about 3 years with 33's on stock axles, superlift springs and lunchbox locker in the rear. Over that period i found out just exactly what i wanted while still wheeling everywhere (colorado, oklahoma, llano (ooooo llano)). After that it took me 2 plus years to build it up, doing one project at a time, wheeling, and then another. Please don't pull the infamous "everything at once", to many have learned that it will keep you from wheeling during your college career.
:EDIT: Better yet, take it wheeling, go somewhere with it stock, I would recommend southwestern Colorado during July, have fun, then come back and evaluate what your first step is but remember, baby steps, don't try and be an expert out of the gates...
