Hmm, I need to play with getting that embedded instead of linked

 

4hrs of work and you couldn't get us a pick in the sun!?

JK, I'd love to see pics of it out the garage.

 

but you can clearly seen the suv parked outside around the corner. i say thats pretty damn good lol
ok i lied. that picture was right after i got it polished. i waxed it after this picture and it was already too dark. idk if the sun gonna make it reflect better, i mean its white and it will just be blinding white. i can only show off the white when its cloudy. i will try one in the sun when i can. its been triple digits here

 

Couple of pics from the trip to the Backside of the Angeles Crest.......And a video or few... But maybe turn the volume down a bit?(lil language from my road dawg on this one, eh chemmm, hehehe)...... LOTS of pics.... not trying to PIC HO out here, lol... just posting what I have, minus a few.

Went up with Redeth of Yotatech(Richard)... Mine's the Red one........








Lunch time in the shade at Sycamore Flats.... HOT! hahaaha...









Heading up to Big Rock Creek Fire Prison Camp and path to the 2HWY(it's pretty nasty if you're not locked... but after a few tries, and one run at a particular part by myself, Redeth kept on from one really bad spot and made it all the way up... 4K feet in a couple miles/lots of it washed out... Steep and WORSE than I've seen it in a while cuz of those storms a ways back, I guess.....

Road up there.....




At the top(I have videos of all that wheeling and such on my build.... MANY of the videos are loading, as I had an error on PBucket)....


We drove up from that Valley below... (4K foot elevation valley, hahaha).... We're up near Mt. Waterman........










View from up there, right behind our rigs......


Then some on the way back.........

First mellow road, a Power Road, leading to a couple climbs to test the limits of Redeth's stock runner that's soon to be SAS'd....

SWEET 3rd Gen 4Runner, all tricked out, lifted, ARB front bumper/winch, etc., and an IronBull rear bumper, Roof Cage, Lights, THE WORKS! We were heading up the Big Rock Creek Road to the 2HWY, the nasty one, and saw him around half way up. Funny thing is, you have to back up on some steep stuff about 95% of the road.... But luckily, he came by us at a LIL bit wider spot, lol......

Have a couple more videos, but having to load em to Youtube, which wasn't working for me before... And now Photobucket wont let me load any at all(WTH?) Maybe it's cuz the last one is too big a file? Oh well... I'll load it up when it's done. Sorry.

 

Nice looking trip.

What kind of lift on the front of big red?

 

Looks like you guys had a blast! Wish I could meet up with a fellow Yotatecher for a wheelin' day. Eh, maybe one day

 

Doesn't look like Redeth was in 4wd or the front want even locked in if has manual hubs

 

Yea we later found that out after those videos lol. I was wondering why I didn't have very much traction and it turned out it was because I had been rolling back in reverse to far so it'd come out of 4x4. After we found that that is what was going on then it was much better. Lol. Kind of funny though. But that locker really makes a huge difference. I definitely need mine

 

Wow Dude, that looks like a awesome place to offroad. Do you have lockers in your axles? You seemed to get up that thing with no problem. Mine probably would have died the way it is right now. haaha

 

Well I don't know but I was with my dad when he bought this brand new in Fort Worth, and this is how it came , it is and 87 on the title and it has never been in the body shop so I don't know unless the dealership put them on that way before my dad bought it....???

 

I'd take a white runner over a red runner any day. It may not stand out in a crowd because it's white, but it still stands out because its a "YOTA".

 

It's up on Mary's Peak in the Oregon coast range. Not a lot of obstacles in the summer but it's a great place for snow wheelin' when winter comes around.

My axles are stock. Stock gears, no lockers. I've actually got a plugged cat and a bad injector right now so I bet you'd be fine.

I'm bugging my buddy for the rest of the footage. It was me in my 87 as seen in that video, an 87 pickup and an 84 4runner. All of us pretty stock.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm sure we all would've been confused LOL. Looks like a good time. Can't wait to get my pavement rollers off and get some meats back on and hit the trail.

 

At the time you could buy replacement graphics at the dealership (If I'm not mistaken)... Maybe it came without stripes and he added them or had the dealer add them. You should ask him about it!

 

Sniff, .......sniff....... ............. HAHAHAHA! JK, .... I AGREE, really! Actually, I think Red is great, .... as long as it's FAIRLY clean/lacking bad oxidation.... White looks good EITHER way... I say it all the time, all over this site.... "WHITE YOTA'S... Ahhhhh, gotta be one of my favorite colors!" Love Toyo's Rig, and the Stripes being Gray/on/White, too! BTW, ... I love em without the 'Stripes', too..... OH, yeah... and I HAD ONE, hehehe.....





And thennnnnnnn, ... ooops>>




I think it looked better before! hahaha. I actually looked for another white one... Found a 3.0 5spd one, too... Same decals as Toyo.. but it was leaking like a STUCK PIG, literally.. And rode like a clunky mess... Needed just about everything it possibly could...so I passed.
