I hope it gives someone else the same chance . All our toy's are different but they are an extension of us a little .Modified and still get 22 mpg with 35's try that in a jeep!








Couple bux into this one, eh? lol.

Scotty from addicted off road has one of the sickest ones I've ever seen in that body, too! His is REALLY tricked out though.... SAS, etc.....not sure on the other one, but it's REALLY clean and BA!
Scotty's rig IS the sickest rig. Its even more impressive in person.

Hey Z! Yeah, I can imagine. Not sure if you know the one I'm looking for.... I think it's a 2000 or so 4Runner, SUPER clean, good lift, black, with General Grabbers with the red lettering,.... lots of extras on it, ..it's REALLY nice. Anyway, not worth looking for hours, just wanted to take another look(one of those things... when you're talking about it and thinking on it,...you HAVE TO FIND IT, ya know? hahaha). S'all good, anyway, how you been, Z? I forgot you're in CO! Scotty sounds like cool ppl, too!

Yeah I know exactly what you are talkin about. I look for like 45 minutes in DIRTCO's build for some stuf I HAD to show the old man. Im pretty sure I know the rig you are talkin about. Definitly a good one. Scotty is good ppl. I met him at the Colorado 4Runner Jambo over the summer. I been good, just tryin to stay warm out here. Its been awefully kold. Aint been doin much to the truck other than driving it. Although I did cut the part of the bed away. Theres alot of clearance now and alot less rust holes. What about you?

Yeah, just tore it down again, ....WEEE! haha. I figured, "Why not, I think it'd be fun to just tear half the motor apart again!" lol... Actually, remember when I had that oil leak out the timing cover? When I pulled it down and FIPG'd that bolt through the AC Brace and Timing cover all up,...and it stopped for a while? Well, it found another path out and was leaking like a pig right out the timing cover side. It's all in my build starting a couple pages back. I'm about to slap it all back together, ...just been working too much to find the energy until today,....and only wound up chasing down new bolts for the water pump, lol. Like I said, ....WEEEEEEEE! LOL. S'all good, almost there, new cover and all.

Yeah, I been keepin an eye on what was causin that on your build up. Oil leaks suck, I know first hand. I have had two different 22r that blew oil all over. I had to recently redo the engine in the 87. I got the new one in and just as soon took it out only to replace it with another. It burned oil and had super low compression. But the current one rocks tons of power and keeps its oil. I am now a 22r swap guru. I can get one in and out in two days lol

75*F here, today, buddy.... Sorry you're dealing with such a cold one. I am actually talking about camping, like right now, lol. I camp near the hot springs, and even if there's snow..... it's all good, it's still in the 50's there, usually. Plus, it's been in the 70's and 80's in parts of the Angeles Crest, right behind me an hour or so... so I'll figure it out once I get her back on the road and able. Gotta visit pop's in AZ first, though. Probably the 21st or so of this month.

I see lol. That sounds like fun. The winter isnt that bad around here, just looong. It comes with the territory. Just an excuse to do more stuff to the truck for when Summer decides to roll around again.
