Oh no! Not you again!!

abj27 · 04-23-2008, 08:48 AM

Nice truck. I especially like the 'before' picture. Isn't the 'before' picture supposed to look bad? I wish my truck was that kind of a 'before'...

MillerPKA · 04-23-2008, 09:48 AM

haha here's the real 'before'

emptypockets · 04-23-2008, 10:15 AM

Glad to have you back around these parts again! I seriously thought you were going to cross that creek bed in the pics above. Now THAT would be a challenge!

Tacoclimber · 04-23-2008, 11:07 AM

Welcome back Miller... I kinda dig the roof rack, but your rig looks great regardless...

Not to hi-jack, but please say you were kidding. It's things like driving through creek beds that aren't part of established trails that are closing down said established trails.

It's a hot topic for many of us...

Anyway,

Now...

***Corey*** · 04-23-2008, 11:27 AM

Finally, someone puts the new smilie I made to use

Just made it yesterday.

I think he'd flip his 4Runner if he tried going into that creek bed, look how steep that is.. lol

MillerPKA · 04-23-2008, 12:53 PM

if you can visualize the first picture in your head, that was my first entry point for the creek. it was too short to go in straight on so i had to whip it at the last minute to keep balance, after a few attempts you get that picture, about a second after it was taken the back left wheel went about a foot in the air, that's when i figured i'd just stay up top for today. there's another entry point i'll try this weekend.

edit: no worries, the owner of the complex and statesboro police department gave it a green light, now just keeping an eye out for the epa haha

**rocket** · 04-25-2008, 03:32 AM

Regardless, welcome back Miller.

Ron Helmuth · 04-25-2008, 10:15 AM

good to see you back on here

rig is looking outstanding

Stay safe

**Lysmachia** · 04-25-2008, 10:33 AM

Rig looks great! Nice to see you back!

Fo_SheeZy · 04-25-2008, 11:56 AM

You know I was thinking, these headlights would look good on your 4Runner, they'd give your 4Runner an even more blacked out look.

Texas_Ace · 04-25-2008, 12:20 PM

Welocome back, now don't i remember you saying something about having a line on Cheap sport hoods or something when you took your "break"?

I want more info now that you are back!

rdharper · 04-25-2008, 12:29 PM

Gotta question on the air intake. How much rain water can you pick up with that in a very strong rain at 60 miles per hour. Apparently not a problem... but it seems if the intake were turned 180 degrees... you wouldn't even have to think about that possibility. Or is there some other trick on the intake that takes care of that.

Just thinking out loud...

MillerPKA · 04-25-2008, 01:44 PM

Thanks dude, the headlights do seem nice but I'm too skeptical on the beam pattern and the reviews i've heard to fork over any cash for them. Plus I'm going on a pacific surf excursion in june for 5 weeks, need a little bit of money for that so the mods are halted for now

As for the water, the snorkel can be a vacuum under the wrong conditions. the head is mounted sort of loose, so when inclement weather hits the head spins 180 degrees to eliminate anything besides air getting to the intake, so you nailed it man

Texas_Ace · 04-25-2008, 02:00 PM

So, i still want to know about those sport hoods... lol
