dont have time :( im getting it setup tomorrow
so... burned out the clutch on eagle rock. trying to decide what to go with. stock replacement is 100 bucks, marlin replacement is 200. 1200, 1600 1900 or 2100 lbs?
Talk to Marlin. Even if you don't buy the clutch from them, they will make a good suggestion. LCI also sell clutches as another source, as does Underdog Racing Development.
Todd (WYota) just put a clutch and a 10 pound over flywheel in his rig with the 2.7L and is very happy with that. You might PM him to see what he put in. I have the TRD in mine and had a Center Force before I swapped in the 3.4L. Both of these are good, but pricey clutches.
Andrew put a stock replacement clutch in his 4 Runner that he got with the FR wholesale plus price at Stevinson West Toyota. Stock cluthches work fine, too.
Todd didn't seem real happy with his on MSV!
I put a cheap Exedy clutch in mine. Works great off-road since I've got all the low range gearing. I never have to worry about slipping a clutch. If you've got the $$$, you can't go wrong with a 1600lb Marlin clutch! Will it be ready for the Jambo??
oh, it wil be ready for the jambo lol. no doubt about it. I'm even selling my dirt bike to be ready
I like my Marlin clutch - I went with the standard, it holds fine even in compound low, but feels kinda soft. Wish I had gone with one of the higher ones.
Note the Marlin clutches are a SECO pressure plate and AISIN disc - pretty much factory components.
If you 'wheel a lot, I would recommend a heavier flywheel if you have a few extra bucks.
I guess it's time for an update. I ended up ordering the marlin 1600 lb clutch. Dan (wakkjob) is helping me put it in and get a lot of other not needed things off of the truck. removed all of the A/C components, removed heater lines to the rear heater, removed the old alarm system that I didn't even know was there, put notches in the door hinges to make removing them easier, and fix all of the ghetto rigged and dumb wiring in the truck. We got the tranny bolted back up today with the new clutch in. all thats left is to finish cleaning up all the BS wiring.
I plan on leaving friday morning sometime. I will have to pack friday morning then head up. I plan on running holy cross, wheeler lake, and chinaman gultch. you can have the rear heater/lines if you would like. I will look and see what all would be needed to put it in to yours. I'll bring it with me to the jambo so you can pick it up. I really just need one knuckle stud setup. only one of mine is missing. you can bring it to the jambo if you want
We're running Holy Cross on Friday. We'll be at the trailhead at 9am. I'd suggest trying to make the HC run on Friday. I don't know if anybody else is going to run HC Sat or Sun. It will be an easy morning for you on Friday to make it to the HC trailhead by 9 but well worth it. It's going to be one hell of a day.
are you planning on setting up camp first? how far away is HC from camp
For the rear heater to work you'll need a different heater control valve and a few new hoses... it's all bolt-on stuff. Also wiring for the blower motor and maybe a different console?

how easy is it to find the campsite at 3 am?will you be at the BV campsite already by then volcom? I'll look for your runner. what type of tow rig do you have
also, I'm pretty sure I know where it is. you take a left at the end of hwy 24, go around the big curve with the field on the right. then you come to a dirt road and take a right. get to a big area surrounded by trees? is this the campsite?
