Your 4Runner is looking beast, keep it up.
Thanks, its a work in progress,
So this weekend I went with Gerdo and Glen Yoshida to Halfmoon Creek to wheel and camp, then we went to Wheeler lake...
Got to test out the gearing and TruTrac again.
First here is the
whole album
and then here are some select pics.
For those that havent seen the CVJ neoprene boots, I had CVJ put them on my spare axle...

We crossed over from Leadville to Fairplay by going over Westin Pass, here is a small trail we took to the end and took a nice pic of all our rigs.

Glen is reaching out to try and counter weight Gerdo but Gerdo expertly rolled out of this before rolling his rig.
Then Glen went for the 3 pointer and followed Gerdos line!

I know the last few were of Gerdo and Glen but they were too awesome to not post up.
The gearing once again proved to be an asset on the trail, but not on my gastank... it wasnt too painful, I just had to fill up one extra time than everyone else.
the Trutrac took out a CV... I can feel it constantly while im wheeling, it definitely is an asset. We will see how many CVs it costs me, cuz I had never broken one before I put that Trutrac in..
