As you can see in this next pic, a buddy in the truck before me went up and pulled that boulder under my rear end down from the top of the falls on Turkey claw...
It got wedged between the drive shaft and rolled over onto my axle after dragging it forward about a foot. I got boned up enough that it snapped the passenger side rear 30 spline factory Toyota axle, went off like a nine millimeter, pop! Hahaha. Took a good hit on the front passenger fender but that actually kept me from flopping. We got it up over and all the way through this now pretty nasty trail three legs, one wheel drive in the rear...!
Got back to camp, then the next morning a buddy that had someone coming from his house in Apple Valley brought me out a replacement axle and we went on like nothing happened. Oh yeah, took out the rear turn signal as well but no damage to any body around it! 4xinnovations.com rear beast bumper ftw!
Also FIXED!....
The fender that saved me from a full nap on the passenger side! Lol....
I will have that fixed in no time as I am picking up both zander just for the heck of it and both doors from a donor that a buddy has!
More KOH 2015....
REP'N YOTATECH ON ALL SIDES!
Me and Jonnyboy ....
Home safe on their own 4 feet!
Heading off to some night wheeling...
Some beauties.....
LOWRANGEOFFROAD.COM FTW! ...
Better picture of the same beauty I was really admiring last year. Really peeping out this EXO! Lol....
@chasington from INSTAGRAM! I'm not sure if he's on here, but I'm going to find out. Anyway, this thing is sick and I got to say hello to him and about 50 other people that follow me on instagram! Everyone was so cool and fun to talk to! Definitely should go check this guy out on Instagram or anywhere else, because this thing is a beast!....
Where everyone lines up on the hillside to go watch the competition on Chocolate Thunder trail!...
So much cool stuff out there!.....
Something pictures I got to try and show some of the stuff I've been doing. I will do an update on my build thread because it's been quite a bit of work. I moved the axle forward in the front 2.5" and back 1" in the rear. Put in Old Man Emu CS 009 R - RUF, prepared where my gearbox almost ripped out but did manage to crush the frame a little bit, fully plated and gusseted and welded in and rewelded the frame to the front crossmember and moved the gearbox forward to the core support and clocked the box to almost parallel with the frame and slapped in a flat Pitman..... Along with quite a bit more.....
Some yotatech love!
By the way, we started out with this rental thing, towing my truck, so that we could actually chill out in comfort for once out there... I didn't even make it to the 15 and the transmission blew up! Left that day hoping to get there by 6 o'clock or so and didn't even get there till midnight!...
...
The guy who rented it to me was a total knob and very unprofessional and I will never go with anything other than an established reputable company ever again. I learned my lesson.... ! ...

Socal854runner and the rest of the group or so awesome and hospitable! @all4offroad Renato is always such a gracious dude and so much fun as well! Other buddies over there @@pritch_diggs @dlar4x4 @philnoutdoorsy also were very helpful in getting me back to camp after I snapped the axle, and @jameswfreitas & @shawnafreitas of @kiss_my_axle we're the ones that have their relative bring me out an actual within 45 minutes of figuring out where mine snapped off.( it broke off clean at the taper and came right out of the brand new Detroit equipped diff with a long magnet that I have.....
Huge thanks again to Jonnyboy of yotatech.com who actually had to take the trailer and gear back to LA and drop it off at U Haul and then drive all the way back the next morning on Friday, the day of the races end! Was a lot of help during the week where I was preparing and repairing getting ready for hammers. Thanks again brother! .... I will get over to my thread and post up all the stuff that I did over the last few weeks after breaking pretty well at Cougar Buttes with redeth005 and @all_yota 's Zach
Here is my basic DX with 22RE. Sold it a couple years ago. Working on a 95 4runner 3vze now. What a PITA these motors are.
The 94DX was rust free to start with and it had a factory bedliner which when removed revealed the pristine perfect bed. Here in the rust belt a welcome site. Painted it with Rhino Liner. Pretty much impervious to the elements when I was done.
Little video of the newly installed 4.7 gears. Cant wait to really put them to the test. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW6ah0xFmrA">YouTube Link</a>
Hey any one have any suggestions for a 1988 4runner SR5 3.0 V6 I just picked up? Thinkin of liftin it 5inches and putting 35's under it. Anyone have an Idea of how that's gonna look?
Been lurking around here for a couple of years and I guess I never posted pictures of my '86 Runner. Well, why not...
It's bone stock except for the wheels which were a dealer option back when the truck was bought new in '85/'86. It was my Dad's truck and I inherited it a few years ago. Almost 90k on the odo and aside from a few minor fixes I had/have to do, it's in relatively good shape inside and out. .....shell is a bit faded on top so I will be looking to get that professionally painted at some point so it looks OEM. I also will be getting new spring packs for the rear (typical saggy butt issue).
