My Truck's Maiden Voyage

I finally got my truck out to the desert with my girlfriend and my family. I just thought i'd share some pics of my first trip with my very own vehicle. My mudders made it possible to get through obstacles my parents were using 4x4 through.

All off roading was done in Borrego Springs on designated trails

Sometimes Slow is Good!


3 Wheelin! Making sure my spare got some sunlight

It is a completely stock 2wd Base Model Pickup. No lockers or anything in the rear. Gravity was my friend in the 3 wheeling photo. I was able to get through everything my parents' 4wd 4Runners could safely make it through.

Therefore I only need to armor up my truck and keep it maintained. SUCCESS! Maybe get a E-Locker or something one day when this is my trail rig not my DD

EDIT:Maybe one day find some leafs to swap in that would give me more travel in the rear.

Looks like fun... That first picture looks like Diablo Dropoff a little bit, but a little different too. Where is it?

I am not sure of the name of the drop off. I know that it is very close to the Wind Caves though.

the 2wd rear carrier is the same size as the IFS front... so you can throw an aussie/lockright/arb in the rear of your truck, just ask for a front locker for a 4wd rig

I would love a locker for the rear. My main problem though is that I drive this truck 99% on the road. I am afraid that the rear locker will eat up my Goodyear Muds that I found for $290 on craigslist
