Everybody taking a breather after making it through this slop. All 4 rigs made it through with the 4runners leading the way. I got got into a big fight with a deep rut that wanted to dump me in the lake sideways but got it out of there withought a tug. Great run today with 87SaltyRunner!!
Big thanks and shoutout to 87SaltyRunner to pulling me up out of the creek bottom and saving at least my truck from anymore dings! CJ-7 that was with us today grenaded a locking hub clean off the axle though in the soft sand.
This was a 4Runner a guy in our offroad club built with Rockwell Axels underneath and 4-linked the front and rear. It is what sparked my adoration for 4Runners. 4 years later, I finally got one for myself (below) that I will surely keep with me for many years.
Budjack, how did you attach those off road lights? I have the same bar and very similar lights and have been trying to figure out how to attach them. My lights are KC and are threaded stems, probably 1/2 inch.
Here's a couple pics of my 86' 4R. I bought it for $1100 three years ago with a blown head gasket (22re) bad tranny and radiator, but the body and frame were in great shape with no rust.
^pic of when I first bought it.
^after doing a SAS with RUF springs, AllPro 6" rear lift, and a ford 302 V8 swap.
Went out and played in my favorite trails today, I was the only 1st gen but Im totally jealous of both the 3rds that were with me today. No stucks today, Just a few backup and run at it again spots. The last pic is of one of the 3rds gens way on the other side of the pond, theres a muddy path all the way around and he's the only one who wanted to try it today after all the rain we had.
