Took a little ride out!

fightman80 · Sep 6, 2010

Hey all, I ended up getting a little bored on the Sunday of the Labor Day weekend, went out for dinner, took a Mall Crawler Pic, then decided....let's go for a ride!

We recently moved into a small town, with lots of nature trails, and quad trails, and have been so busy with house reno's and the new baby, that we haven't had the chance to take the Runner out!

Here's some pics of the trails we drove through, don't mind the girl in the front passenger seat, she's the wife......

We came across a gate, which had a City sign that indicated No Trespassing....got me curious, so I went on foot to check it out.....I ended up finding a man made lake up in there! I wonder if they are farming fish, or Killer Pirahna's or something?? :lol:

Shot of the wife being goofy in the truck....

I've heard that there are alot more trails around here, so I'm definately going to look for some more tomorow!

Something like that! When we do corners or we hit a bump, she yells out "WEEE!"....it's funny! My newborn, was sleeping the whole time in her car seat!

Thanks for the Compliments! It's actually a small town called Capreol, which is just North of the main city which is Sudbury. Sudbury is located about 4.5hours North of Toronto.....

As for the Tire Cover, the wheel under the cover is FUGLY, so until I buy a matching wheel with a mud Tire on it, I'm gonna be rockin it.....unfortunately...

I moved mine out of necessity when I built my Tire Carrier. All I did, was bolt a Stainless Steel "L" bracket to the body of the Carrier, and then drill some holes, to bolt the licence plate to. Once that was done, I went to the auto supply store, bought a 12$ licence plate light, and wired it up to my tail lights.

I'm not sure what you can do with your setup.....I'd have to see some pics.....

Do you have a write up on here for that carrier? I'd like to see more pics of it.

Me too! And the price was right! Got them as a package deal with the wheels, lug nuts, hub center caps, mounted and balanced, shipped, for about $1500.00!

Took another ride out~!

So Labour Day kinda went for a dump on me, and I never got out that day. I ended up going for a ride around town again, looking for some trails and came upon these.........
