Alright guys this is a call out for everyone to start posting some good trail pics. I know we have been using the regional threads to look for folks in our areas but it would be good to also post pics of your recent trail runs. I posted some pics in the southeast region and the hits have been few. We need those threads to be loaded with good pics so everyone can see what great trails and trucks are out there. I like seeing all the trails in different parts of the country. Everyone likes good pics...and thats the place for it. It doesnt have to be radical, just some good pics of your truck or your friends trucks in action. ;D

Alright here's a few to start off with.
This is my 85 TOY with a 3" body and 2" suspension lift and rolling on 32's.
Testing the flex after doing a 4" suspension and Chevy springs in the rear.
A flex shot, but with 35's now and my front springs were too stiff.
Now have Rubicon Express springs....no flex pics yet.
Coming over the top of the mountain. Well actually hill.
All Pro Rock Guards.
OK after packing up my entertainment center for a wheeling trip
I realized that I had no place to put my sleeping bag.....
Here's my 73 TOY w/ a 73 Jeep devoiced transfer case and axles on 31's.
Hopefully soon to become a Weekend Warrior.

Those are great pics! That is some crazy flex you have on the rear springs of your truck. I kept looking at it thinking it might be 1/4 elliptical or something. Very cool. I was thinking it might be better if you posted these pics in your regional thread. That way we can keep them organized and move some traffic to those threads.
PS I really like that 70's toyota. Would be very cool with coil sprung axles and a 4 link setup. ;D

THANX snorkle.
I agree with "1/4 ellptical or something." I think that same thing some times, but I know better.....I did the work. It's a 3/4" ton Chevy leaf spring set-up with the two lower leaves removed and double shackes. The Rancho 5000 shocks actually stop it from fully flexing.
As for the 73 a coil sprung (Chevy or Ford-rear, Dana 44-front) axles and a 4 link setup is what I'd like to do to it, but not sure the $$$ will let me. We'll see though.
I did go ahead and put the above pics in my regional thread (North West). After rereading your post I relized that's what you wanted.....OPPS...just use to clicking that reply button.

Not sure why. I can see the pics just fine. Can you right click on the "x" and check the properties and see if a link is given? Then try the link in a new page. Maybe you should switch from AOL.  |

The video is awesome.  Two thumbs way up! I'm gonna have to con one of my buddies with a digital video cam to come out to my place for a photo shoot. The bummer is that we go to school at Kansas, but we are graduating in may and he took his beautiful, badass, Cruiser (78 FJ, built 2F, 33s, etc) back home to Lousiana over break so he wouldn't have to drive two cars home in May. It was the perfect 4Runner extraction tool. We'll see how exciting a stock 4Runner can be! ;D |
