whats going on with the trac bar?? update please =D

 

did u move the front hanger forward 3in eye to eye?

 

Back on track and getting this buildup updated.

Upper shock mounts!










These were a pain in the ass to weld in but I finally got the rear shocks vertical! 4Runner drives like a completely different truck now. I can't believe how little my rear shocks did angled in at the top.

 

6/22 - 6/24 2012

Holy Cross trip


Homestake Rd on Friday night. I love camping up near Holy Cross!


Partway up the first section. I can't believe it's June 23rd and there's no snow to be found except at the top of the peaks.


Ended up being hot up there. It was in the high 70's / low 80's at French Creek at 11,125 feet in elevation.


Andy - CUbuff4Runner - Dean - Eric - James - Shaun - DirtCO


Making our way up to French Creek


CUbuff4Runner taking some heckling from the crowd


Just a little high centered


Playing around at French Creek after changing out Jeremiah's blown CV. I walked it twice in a row without any issues.




Just posing for the picture


The water levels looked they normally do at the end of July / start of August. Not good

2012 Colorado Toyota Jamboree July 20-22nd 2012


Blanca trailhead - From left to right - Bill / Ish / Eric / Aaron / Jerry


Right after Jaws 2


Perfect day to be wheeling!


Towards the top


Lake Como


Blue Lake


Eric headed down from Blue Lake. Having these huge peaks all around makes you feel small.


Driving past Lake Como on the way down. Fish were turning over like crazy.


San Luis Valley in the distance


Coming down Jaws 2.5 The wind wasn't nice to this tree.


You can see the end of the trail in the distance. We're still quite a ways from the highway.


Top of Wheeler Lake. Another perfect CO day to be outside enjoying the weather!


Parked next to Wheeler Lake for some lunch.


Headed down the trail


Parked under the old Magnolia Mill. It always looks ready to fall at any time.


Might as well press our luck X2


Top of Iron Chest. A couple clouds in the sky but still a great day.



Old steam boiler


Group shot while we eat some lunch.





Flex shot on Patriot, right after A-Hole.

 

And how my traction bar bracket held up with no traction bar in it

Rock Frogs rule. I've been on there for years. Gravy over there.

 

So? Come on, man, you must have done something with your rig this summer!

 

Nice pics, beautiful scenery

 

I've just been away from all the message boards. Kinda stopped posting on all of them. My bad! 4Runner hasn't changed since those last pictures. Just been wheeling it as is. I also bought an FJC and have been wheeling the piss out of it too!

 

did you stretch your rear any or just cut the wheel wells out?

 

Both! Rear is pushed back 4". Made new tubs for the wheelwells. It was a PITA but worth it. Miss ya at the Jambo this year!

 

Glad to see u post in,love your thread and your runner.
