Chuckles' 98 Manual SR5 4Runner

[Chuckles89]

Finally some action shots of me! (trail 11 obstacle)

Heading up to camp at Pickett


My home away from home


Getting flexy




Just enough room to turn!


10 PSI was a little low... 12 to 13 was perfect


1st gen getting some action! Unfortunately, the rear fender-well got caught on a root sticking out and bent it up a little

 

[Chuckles89]

Ugh, why must my pictures rotate for no reason :redbrick: :rant:

This trip was the shakedown run for the Chevy 350 powered FJ-40

Yotas at Mineral Lake






So that's why it's blue!


oops....

 

[Chuckles89]

Looking pretty on the gravel road


'13 Taco doing it right


More flexy shots

So jealous! Did you stop by the Toyota Trucks and Trails podcast tent, say hi TO Jason and Rich? I hear their mic stands were custom.
Looks like you had an awesome time and cool 4Runners and other Toyotas. Always like seeing another chick on the trail too. Good thing you carry another alternator.
That mud looks GROSS! The rocks look fun. Hope I'll be able to make that event some year.

Nope, I didn't register for the event because I was just there for one day (so I couldn't go in the event area). I saw the pic of the mic stands on facebook and they were custom for sure.

I'm not sure if I'll go next year or not... the drive to Windrock was very stressful with the swampers :rofl:

Neat to see both father and son posting in the same thread...that is a first for me!

EDIT: Just saw that you're an Eagle Scout as well! Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout!

I wish I had not looked at this. I should have never sold my old 4Runner :crybaby:

I assume you are an Eagle too - Me three :drummer:

Funny thing, I like offroading. But I do it for work a lot. Generally following a trackhoe or forestry mulcher through the woods. Chuckles likes it way more. He's got some mad skills for 19. Quite proud Dad. He learned so much watching me wrench.

There's no super-sad button or I would hit it for you!

Sure am! arty:

Love the pics as well; how does the 4th Gen stack up to your son's 3rd Gen? Do you like it more?

They are apples and oranges. I'll think more about it and post up tonight. Each has it's good side.

Just got caught up on your thread. Looking good! Looks like you had a great time. You sure did sink the rear axle in the mud. Surprised you got out of that without any assistance.
