His did well.
He's running a 2 inch lift with Rancho 5100's and 265/75/17 Duratracs. I took him on some fun, and scenic trails to get him hooked. Now he's looking at bumpers, and traction devices.

Great truck! Nice attention to detail!

love the paint job w/decals! very inspirational build.

Well done sir.....well done!

Benchmark.
That is the coolest voodoo blue 86 I have ever seen.
You ever want to come check out some more trails in the Ouray area please let me know. I live 20 minutes south of Silverton.

Thanks. I plan on being it there the middle of July next year.

Here are a couple more from Colorado.



One from this past weekend at an FJ Cruiser event I hosted

Dorton, show me what you used to mount your license plate on the tire carrier, can you?

I just used a scrap piece of aluminum and some shears to shape it. On the top two I used locking lug nuts and used the other 2 on my hi-lift jack to try and keep people honest.

That's a cool idea, I'm stealing that.

I'll etch "this was Dorton's idea" on the back with my dremel, though.

Hahaha, I'll check one day when we're wheeling together.

Such a sweet rig, man. Well done. My first of 4 toyotas was an 88 runner, and i would love to have another as sweet as yours! My supercharged v6 3rd gen keeps me stoked, but that thing is awesome. Jealous

Love your Build! Maybe I will see you driving around Winston sometime when I am in town visiting family.

When I installed my twin stick, I had some clearance issues. One at the back, where the knob, and lever contacted my built console, and the high/low range knob contacting the transmission shifter when shifting to 2nd gear while in low range.

I knew I would have to clearance the console fir the stick, but wasn't really wanting to cut the shifter. Instead, I went with something free, and much easier. I just found some golf balls I had laying around, grabbed a drill, and went to work. I verified they fit, and cleared, added a little color, and voila. No interference issues.



And some from a recent ride

This past week, I got rid of my 3x10.50r15 BFG KM2s and Replaced them with 255/85r16 BFG KM2s. I placed them on the steel wheels I had on it the first time I had it. I don't know why, but I just like the wheel(I'm weird, and I'm ok with that). I also added some Spidertrax 1.5" wheels spacers to keep the wheels from looking tucked.

I then at the last moment decided I wanted to go wheeling someplace new. I started grabbing maps and looking for places within a day's drive and settled on George Washington National Forest. The trails while not technical or challenging, were breathtakingly beautiful for hours at a time. We setup camp on Saturday night after running the trails for 5 or 6 hours, and waited out the windstorm that decided to hang out most of the night. We broke camp and hit the trails. Again, while not difficult, it was very enjoyable. We rode from 7:30AM to 3PM, and never saw another wheeler. It was nice! I'll be going back, hopefully with locals next time that know of some local private places to wheel.
