Nice Josh!

I do have some pics of your rig but not of it real crossed up. I was a bit busy out there.

Will post more pics soon.

 

Had an awesome time this weekend even though I pussied out on John Bull. I regret it now I should have drove my truck but there is always next time. The weather was great, the trails were pretty sick and the people made for loads of laughs. And for Saturday night those Simon Limon Corona's are awesome, four years in college in San Diego and we never tried those out haha. I'm lovin the commentary on the Marlin video that Josh posted. Especially the Mikey's brown nosing haha..."Thank you for making killer parts for us"

Here are some of my pics...




Classic "Mikey"



Still taking those IFS poser shots Marc, by the way that rock is way to SMALL for your setup buddy!!!








Fartruk come to the light...


Smile Mrs. Marlin





Blind Crawling=high center on front and rear diffs, too bad I didn't get a pic of that

-And of course on the drive home, a perfect example of what happens when you put a mean machine in the hands of punka$$ teenager!!! Oh yah if you look closely no license plate yet...

 

Nice pics bro. You should consider a second job as trail photographer. Good angles. Let me know when you decide on that welder.

 

I still have a check engine light and the exhaust pipe hanging/banging disconnnected from the muffler back. That was just from gold mtn, I didn't feel like pushing my luck on john bull and still be able to take my daughter home.

Seriously man, you really didn't push that setup at all, you still don't know its limits. That place was the perfect spot to check it out, plus we had Marlin there for help with anything mechanical. He even has an onboard welder!

 

I find myself doing that too. I'll pose on a rock, get out and see that it's not very impressive. haha.

 

I stopped by Auto Zone today and plugged their OBD II reader into the Toy to find what was up with mine. The code (PO171) called out that Bank 1 (#1 cylinder) was too lean. Dude at the counter said that the system sometimes has a problem adjusting to elevation changes. I cleared the code with the reader itself. Light is off..............for now. LOL

Does anyone know what the road # is for the Holcomb Creek trail. I am highlighting the trails on my national forest map, so that I can use them later. Thanks,
Chris

 

3n08 + 3n93

 

Cool, glad you like them Mikey!!

 

Thanks, that would have been my guess, but there are a mess of roads in that area of the map. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks again for leading us through there.

 

Who's 4runner is this?




The reason I am asking is to find out how these recovery shackles were mounted in that location (perfect placement -- inline with the frame).

 

I think that is calrockx

 

yep, that be me.

i have a body lift, so that allowed the tjm to be mounted a 1.5" higher, giving some nice room for some shackles there. brucets was nice enough to weld on the hangers and on they went.

 

I had an OBD II reader out at Big Bear, Andy. Ya should've said something.......

FWIW you can stop by anytime to pull the codes with my reader if some punk at your Autozone ganked theirs.

 

Got it -- thanks! Great setup.

 

What are the specs on that tan SAS'ed Runner? It looks like its sitting on 33s. Do you have any pics of it sitting flat and other pics flexed out? I like the minimal lift with SAS.

 

That would be Goldmember I believe. Marc P will chime in soon.

 

This one is mine...

This one belongs to Josh (Phalanx)


I am on 33x10.5's for now, he is on 32x11.5's

 

Nice rigs, I've toyed with the idea for a long time, not that it's going to happen anytime soon though. I love my 33x10.50's, for such light trucks, they're great. Damnit, now my ideas are churning again.

 

Steve (SoCal80) did Debra get any cool pics to post up?
