CrazyEvil, haven't seen you for a long time on TN!

What is your first stage on your Matrix?
I am thinking, which ride will u drive to the next TN meet. Matrix or Avalon?

If you check the weight difference it seems the 4WD is not alot heavier, I have a feeling it is not built strong enough to handle the power. Then again, a high reving motor like that is not really what you want in a 4WD, I do have a fair amount of experience offroading in many different trucks and some cars. I would imagine that it just does not work well for that. Now put in a 2.4 or even better 2.7 from the Tacoma, that would work well. Or even better a single cam motor, won't smog well but would have better bottom end in most designs.
