DOWNPOUR11's Build Thread

[downpour11]

Broke a drivers-side front axle ujoint on the last trip. Replaced the already busted hub and the ujoint. Good to go.

Went for a trail ride on Saturday just to get out and dink around and randomly decided to go to Reno. Got pulled over by some authority-stricken CHP officer and he gave me every fix-it ticket in the book (no front license plate, no rear bumper, no mud flaps, and no fender flares). He was verrrry rude to me. I was laughing because he called every single aspect of my truck "RIDICULOUS" hahaha. I've had multiple cops behind me and not one cared about any of that, even when I had been pulled over a couple months back lol. This cop had a stick up his ass. So I'm thinking of making the most obnoxious fender flares possible to get the truck signed off and the ticket dropped.

Anyway, here are some pics.


First off, we decided to blow up my old radiator that I popped on New Years:

As my buddy says: Reno, the Las Vegas of Mexico.

Nice! I love binary explosives haha. I put 6 pounds of it into an old, gigantic DLP TV once and it absolutely obliterated the TV. There wasn't anything left. (This was definitely done in another country, just in case the NSA is reading this :spy.

That sucks about the ticket though.

Yeah this was just some Tannerite my friend got from some store up here. Fun though. As long as it blows up, I don't care what it is lol.

Damn, sucks about the tickets! Guy probably never wheeled before, that's why...

If I get stationed in the foothills somewhere, I've got your back :cheers:

:gun5:

New Years was fun. [MENTION=83356]rideexileex[/MENTION] cruised down from Seattle and met up with us for some New Years fun and wheeling.

Haven't checked up on this thread for a while! Never disappointed with the pics in here! All I gotta say is that Sean is the biggest 4runner Slut I know. He's gotten around with every group out there. From Washington, Oregon, Utah, California, you've been wheeling all over man!

As always, great pics Rob!

 

[rideexileex]

Ha, I try to get around when I can...

BTW - [MENTION=1373]snowrunner[/MENTION] It's about time to start thinkin Moab... And I'm hoping to finally be in CO by then

 

[Dous]

Time to get some Super Joints boss!

 

[Rockdawg84]

lol you know Rob that in AZ you didn't need a rear bumper since you drive a station wagon. and front plate what is that. still you have nice places to wheel. build something simple and get back out there.:heh:

 

[BigFishAllDay]

Ridiculously RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!! :lmao:

I had a few different ideas on a rear bumper a while back, then never got around to it. I've always loved the Addicted rear… so I dunno. I'm 95% sure I'm just going to build a custom one though. I'll need to chat with a couple of my good fabricator friends and come up with a full design.

I can get the 4 tickets dropped, but of course I have to pay around a hundred bucks in "fees" to do so.

I'm just glad I didn't catch something I don't already have.

….But I did have my fingers crossed for a ghost blowie (inside joke [MENTION=83356]rideexileex[/MENTION]) :lmao:

And I told him too! "Yeah we don't have laws like that in AZ." response: "Well something is wrong down there, I doubt a law maker has never caught a rock to their windshield from a 4x4 truck without mud flaps." lol it was like I was driving a truck straight out of Mad Max or something.

Whatever, i'll just make it better. But the whole fender flare thing is what's going to be hard to get signed off on. I'll come up with something.

Our group should be over in the Moab area sometime this summer. Our good friend moved to Cortez, CO to work for Jimmy's 4x4. So we are making plans to go visit. Also will be staying in Kanab, UT along the way. Keep in touch!
