- locker diffs
- suspension change (more articulation than lift, although will probably need to be 2 inches above standard) including new trailing arms, etc
- refresh LT77 and LT230 with new bearings, gaskets, etc (would like a R380 if I can find one for right price)
- tidy up the interior (sagging headliner and retrim seats)
- cut the guards and fit flares
- fit 33 inch tyres
- refresh the brakes (new discs and replace calipers)
- replace long range sill tanks with rock sliders
- finally, fit a 4.6 motor.

But the Blue Beast goes well none the less for a toy.

Sounds like 86 to 88 model. Best RRC ever made

Well worth a build up. You may need a body lift as well to do 33s.

You can JUST scrap in 33's without a BL, but much more prefereable to do so

They only rub the gaurd inners a little

We ran a mates, years ago, stock as a rock, sahara dust 2 door, with nothing but 33" Mongrels, stock shock and springs, just cut the gaurds and away, ti was awseome...............except for constantly crapping rear diffs and axles

Haha, nah, my mate was hopeless, the thing was so gutless, I used it to tow a tandem, 9x5, with a falcon shell to the scrap, it wouldn;t go over 60km/hr, but he'd just rev it in the bush

No decorum

Must have been a 3.5 The red 2 door I have here does ok with the 4.4. Still shats all over the 4BD1T 120 I hate to say it

Well in the time I owned my RRC, I never broke an axel, diff or CV. All I did was control the right foot and use the power in appropriate moments. If it aint going up a hill, use a different line. Putting foot to floor will break *****.
