Wow, nice pics. Thanks to everyone who came along, Jess and I had a really good time. Heh... believe it or not she did enjoy herself, she's just a little shy. As for getting muddier next time... we'll see I honestly wasn't too fond of the tires and I really didn't want to push testing them in the middle of a pond. Hopefully for next time (as funds allow) I'll at least have better tires, if not tires and a lift, I do accept donations. Thanks again everyone, I had a great time and sorry I had to split so fast afterwards, I had some prior commitments. Definitely count me in for next time.

Welcome to YT!!
lol
I was gonna shoot you a PM over at T4R, Since I guess this post is some 300K over the limit for post over there.
We were just playin about Jess, lol!
She seemed pretty cool from the time I talked to her.
Just A little more mud.... PLEASE!?!?!?
Yeah, those freakin Rugged Trails,
But Honestly, you had more tread on those things left than I did.
And When I first went Muddin, I did fine, accept for going around a turn and almost sliding into a tree....
But there were no trees in the immediate mud pond area lol!
Look into some BFG A/Ts eventually, Heck, That FJ got out of that pit nicely with them on.
And since you have a Rear Locker you rule over all of us!
It was great having you man, And can't wait to see you on the Trails again!

what's why you got damage. With a locker, you could CRAWL right on up it, preventing damage. If you floor it, and haul butt, you're gonna bounce and jostle everywhere.
The more you bounce and jostle, the more the suspension bottoms, and the higher your chances of slapping your tank or something on a rough spot

and as for avy not making it up, its def a clearance issue, no locker is needed for that hill climb, for the steeper one definetly, but not for that one...when he got to the little hump at the top where everyone starts spinning, it seemed as tho he bottomed out...esp on the tank skid

Well figure my toolbox weighs in at a hefty 200 lbs or so.. Add in all that other junk and Kody who was riding with me...it was enough.
I think it was all clearance..
So Tri State wheelers?? Or we could do tri state yotas..then again its supposed to be NJ/NY/CT, but I like NJ/PA..

Besides, look what I did in my stock street tires. You'd have been fine but i don't blame you for not wanting to hurt your baby.
Sometimes giving your 4runner a little beating is like rough sex. it may hurt, but she loves it.
^^ i totally see that ending up in someone's sig.
