15mpg with a trailer and hills.. Gotta love that 4:88 haha

Sliders came out nice. Super clean!

 

Looks great, Toyo!

 

Did you paint your wheels? That's what I'm doing right now and they (well, the one that I finished) look like the same color. I'm using Rust-Oleum Graphite Wheel Paint.

Anyhow, looking better and better

 

the gears was an improvement. i noticed i can stay one gear higher than before for the hill climbs. still on the way back, the 1st climb is like 7-9% grade and its super long. thats the only section i dont like and 5.29 would be best for that section only. the rest of the trip, 4.88 was good enough

thanks, still working on some other pictures

yup, i painted them and still holding up. i used

 

co worker sold these new chains for me. didnt have part numbers so i didnt know what size tires they fit. i figure i can try them and if it fits ill take them. they seem kinda loose but i really wont know till i try them in the snow. i never used chains before but i figure i get a set just incase. might throw them in the front and use the elocker rear that way its liked its locked front and rear. when winter comes and i hope sooner than later, ill throw them on if i get to a situation where i need to break trail
they sure do look sick with the red chain

 

your first gen looks really clean .. nice!

 

i would use a couple of short rubber bungees on those chains or get a couple of sets of the rubber bungees made for chains, they have 4 hooks on them and are like a giant rubber band..
i have a set of those for my tahoe and camry, they work great. New they are around $100-125

 

Wow, shnazzy chains! lol.... They look confusing, hahaha.... But yeah, pretty much go on one way, I realize that, hehe.

Nice

 

Have you seen that sign going up to the four lane "chains may be required at anytime" ? Now you have no worries haha once again....looking good

 

thanks, not much left to do lol but wheelie it. i got an 82 i wanna fix up soon

i used chains well cables before with my accord before i had a 4x4 lol. i might get a few bungees but if i do use them, i wont be going faster than 5mpg so its not gonna do any damage if they do come off

well i have these installed backwards lol. its not hard once you installed them once. plus i have experience using cables on my accord before i got a 4x4.

i have see that sign but never once been stopped. plus it also says 4wheel drive with snow tires OK. i have Snow rated tires. BFG All Terrains ftw haha

 

NOLB stands for No One Left Behind. a 4x4 group im part off. its actually NOLB 4x4 but i ran out of room. i will be running this plate every time on a trail

 

went wheeling at Red Lake. every wheeling trip has been fun but the next one is always better than the last. this time i got to try out the long travel, even with the wrong shocks (limited droop) the other SA guys was impressed with the travel. im impressed as well because the wheel just goes up and down keep the truck so leveled. i should have more pictures or videos of it in action once they post it up. i just post up what i have.


we did the one in the middle which at the end leads to the black diamond which we didnt really do lol



there should be even more travel once i get the new shocks installed. comes in some time this week

bet the jeep guy is impressed lol




zuk mod *(99 runner coils) can still be compressed almost all the way to the bumpstop





guess the arb bumper still has good clearance

wheel spin! he is open front and rear with only a bracket lift and 33s

and this trail calls for a rear locker lol. he did just fine with a little skinny pedal

made it to the lake




my doggie

great spot to camp, maybe next time


rock builders lol

this is it for now. the damage. glad i had sliders. lost a mud flap too



last one for now

 

Cool trails, we got nothing like that here...lol

 

Looks like fun! I like the pics.

 

i know. i feel so lucky to have all these awesome trails. most are within an hour drive from my house

you dont even know lol. my 1st time and its nothing like bald. much more rocks and more challenges. the lake at the end made my day. wish i had a fishing net to catch some of the little ones for my fish tank lol

 

i need a better skid

one of the videos. i think the diff was hitting the rock, not sure lol. long trip

 

nice!

are you keeping the window vent visors? looks like you had to keep your head down so you wouldn't hit it.

i think tube doors are next for you

joel

 

Yea this trail looks more changelleing-er than bald haha looks funner too. The LT make it look like your running very low rim backspace. But it looks good. You should go yell at 4WP, those shocks are taking forever to come in. Or get a discount or something hahah

 

Did you go on the run with the NOLB crew? I wouldn't mind hitting up a trail or two with them.
