socal event? lets decide on a weekend at least a month away and see how many ppl make it out. hit up borrego or truck haven and tear it up all weekend.

 

What up everyone,

My name is bryan and i am from San Bernardino. Im a middle school teacher and recently got my 1st toy. I have wanted a toyota 4x4 since i was younger, but never had the funds. My DD is a honda fit and i found a 1991 toyota pickup 4x4 a few weeks for 1500. Runs and drives ok, but am in the process of swapping the 3.0 for 3.4 and then work on it some more. I have no mechanical experience, i figured this truck would be perfect. In fact, i like driving it more than my honda!

I have never been off-roading and look forward to meeting some folks that can show me the ropes.

 

I am in Redlands just got a 1983 4x4 Sr5

 

how far are you into your 3.4 swap?

I agree i think we should do a weekend meet up or a wheeling trip its time i took my truck out on a trip!

 

Im in the beginning stages, still waiting for some parts from ORS. Im down for a meetup (hangar 24 Redlands?) and cannot wait to go wheeling. Im gunna have wait to hit up some trails however until my yota is in working order...besides the swap i need to do some suspension work.

Lets keep this conversation going, this socal forum has been dead too long!

 

nice man im getting tracking down all the parts for my 3.4 swap. and i think i have just about everything i need to start my sas. and i would be down to meet up at hanger 24 i live about 10 min from there

 

Im in SB by CSU

 

J&H, that SAS is going to awesome. Are you doing the work yourself? sounds like you have a sweet rig. Would love to get a Aussie locker set up on my truck, i just need to get it to run reliably first

 

what are your plans for your yota?

 

I'd be down for a meetup! Im located in the inland empire as well!

 

Awesome


Lets try to set something up for next week or the week after. As long as everyone is 21+ we can hit up hangar...im down for whatever if you guys have other ideas.

kinda bummed my yota is down...im trying to get it running so we can pack the parking lot with trucks.

Lets make this happen fellas

 

I have only been on one Wheeling trip since i SAS'd, lifted, dual locked and geared my truck. And i finally finished building my heavy duty plate bumper/tire carrier yesterday. Just needs to be mounted.

Mark(Chefyota4x4) just got his SASd rig back this weekend. Just waiting on him to break in his gears. I'm sure we'd be up for going out there with you guys. Just set a date and i'll try to make it work out. Saturday's would be ideal for us.

Is there an entrance fee for that trail? And how hard is the trail for somebody who isnt running lockers? I'd like to take one of my best friends who just bought an 86 22-R stock toyota pickup last night.

 

well hanger is actually a local brewery here in redlands which we were gonna meet up at but i think it would be cool to go out and hit some trails and maybe end up there for a nice cold beer afterwards we theres some trails that arent very far away from there

 

How difficult are the trails though? I mean Mark(Chef) and I won't have any problem getting up stuff. But i ask mainly for my friend who would be going in his stock 86 pickup.

 

Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy! Lol. ... I'm gonna try to spread the word as I'm able.... Not shared this yet, but I'm just in the beginning stages of and fighting a nasty ear infection! :-( .... however, .....I willllll try my best to complete the break in of the gears and 23 splined 4.7's of the second tcase.... Maybe a teeeeeny bit of break in on the dirty thirties and 10" splined Matsuba dshaft.....etc... just an "on stands" deal will work for some of it! Possibly a "freewheel hubs locked and not locked in 4High for 20 min or so locally for the front diff and new chromoly man. hub gears/dirty 30 union"-style delio for the rest! Haha. .......

I WANNA JOIN YA! Lol. ...

 

Mark Hurray up dude! get that ear infection fixed so you can go. lol

 

I soooo know it! Lol. I'm down, just have to get a DATE! When exactly? This coming weekend? Or the following? If this, I probably would be stupid to go before I'm even done with the Cipro...

 

oh jeez I wont be able to this weekend for sure. We're gonna be mounting my rear bumper/tire carrier this saturday.

 

Hey everyone its been a couple years since I started this thread I'm glad its still active and I hope its helped people out ... I'm in the process of getting another rig so when I do ill post pics and we'll have to set something up for a day to hit the trails .... thanks again

 

Buy mine!!!
