Talking Joey's (UKMyers) Irish Vacation.....Pics added

Hey folks

Just met up with Joey yesterday as he toured around Ireland on his vacation. We don't see many petrol powered rigs over here and I can tell ya I was mightly impressed........

Couldn't cope with the running costs though

Well after a chat for a while and a few pics we went for a bit of wheeling. Now the fact that I only have my 3rd gen a few weeks I was cautious about doing anything with it, but Joey..... he tried to climb a grass bank so steep it was hard to get up on foot!!!

I have pics in the camera and I'll up load them when I get home.

So a big thanks to Joey for meeting up, its great to see some fellow Yota guys, hope to see more of the Irish members soon...

maybe for a few

Hmmmmmmmmmm........."he tried"..................does that mean he didn't make it?

Joey must have had it in Jeep mode then.

Can't wait to see the pics.

Joey,

Tip: Lean forward a little more and then you can get up the hill.

Looks like you guys had a nice outing.

It was a bit of fun alright, but now I'm gonna have to do some stuff to my rig. Need more clearance, and bigger tyres

Noobie question but I thought 4runners were rear wheel drive. Is it different from different countries? I have a 96 and mine's rear wheel. Or is that on 4 wheel with the ebrake on.

A locker and much much more.. especially since there's a Central 4WD right in Spokane. My plan is to get a 2" Body Lift for the swap and then go 33's regear to 4.88's and add an ARB rear locker. Along with that will be manual hubs, 25mm Tbars, a Yak Rack, ARB front bumper w/ a Warn and then we'll see from there....
