4th Gen Off-Roaders

Love my V8, wouldn't change it! The only thing I dislike is that I can't put it in 2wd only. Marlin lefty would change that.
I wheel all the time. Mostly by myself as I just don't know many around here that do what I do. I'm running 35's and stock gears. Drives good but I'm looking forward to 4.88 gears in the future. My area has mostly woods and sand with the occasional bottomless mud hole. Not many rocks, although there's an offroad park close by that is set up nicely.
I need armor, bumpers, more lift and 37's still. Oh, and headers are needed badly! uploadfromtaptalk1447436303733.jpguploadfromtaptalk1447436314105.jpg

I started adventuring offroad about 4 years ago. I love the pursuit of getting away from the normal crowds. Mostly medium trail runs, occasionally some harder trails.

I'm looking forward to 2016 - going to attempt the entire Utah Backcountry Route. http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/UTBDR

how is your truck 5 lug?
 
OK, first of all, some of you need to learn how to re-size your pictures. ;):

I'm not a hardcore 'wheeler but I have gotten the tires dusty from time to time. This was on the Old Mojave Road in 2014:

Only place I had to use 4-low:

Crossing Soda Lake (I'm in the back.)

Camping near Tonopah, NV

Typical "camp kitchen" setup

I recognize those . . . I changed my flat that morning right in the level section right below you in the last one.

I don't care for the thumbnail option but even that would be better than scrolling side to side and straining to read the small type.
 
New to offroading and new to T4R's in general. Put on Billie 5100s and Moogs up front and RAS adjustment in rear, so I had to go test it out. Just a few pictures from my weekend trip to Uwharrie National Park in Troy, NC. Still have yet to get some decent rubber, so the mud was very difficult for me.

Totally unrelated to this post, but OP, I believe I saw you in Moab at the end of August. We passed each other multiple times. I had the silver 4th gen with Illinois plates. I knew I recognized your rig from here!

You should have said hello! I was surprised at the number of 4th gens there at the time. I was introducing my son to Moab, he had the FZJ80 that was with me. Some of my pics were from our Oct trip there.

Where in IL are you from? I grew up there, NW suburbs of Chicago.
