Picture dump from the Rubicon. Most pics of my rig were taken at Big Sluice but here they all are. IFS killed it.

Some pretty rad footage in this with your runner killing it! It was cool to see snow this late in the season too!
Looks like a ton of fun!

It was a ****ing blast man. Can't wait to get the 'runner fixed up so I can go run it again!

Just ordered some Rustoleum to cove up all the rock marks after I finish up hammering all of the skids back into place.'
Also just ordered the Energy Suspension steering rack bushings to put in before I go get an alignment.

Just finished a bunch of after-trail maintenance. Repainted everything that had paint taken off by rocks. Lots of grinding and rustoleum.
Also a few years ago some incompetent mechanic stripped all the threads in my skid plate mounts so I re-drilled and tapped all the skid plate mount holes to 3/8-16 and mounted the skids with grade 8 hardware. These skids are so thin and bashed up, I see some Savage ones in my future.
Also my tailpipe got all crunched up from the trail and the last mount got all messed up so I decided to cut the pipe after it comes down from coming over the rear axle area. I know its not good for fumes but I don't commute or leave the car sitting and running so its not a problem yet for me.

4Runner got a much older brother today. It's a 1982 Pickup on 36" swampers with 4.88 gears and a locked rear.
Picked it up for $1000 from a buddy who wanted to get rid of it and will now become my primary wheeler. It just needs some TLC but I plan to keep it cheap and wheel the piss out of it

yea I dig it. Needs new front shocks but other than that it's pretty sweet aside from the rust. It came with almost everything I need for a high-steer setup, just needs a pitman arm for the ifs box and tie rod ends.
