Im planing another wheeling trip in about a month and this post will be my check list of things that need done before I go. any input from you guys would be great as well.

remove tow hitch---------------------------------done
completely remove rear sway bar------------------done
skid plate
tranny cooler
install c.b.----------------------------------------installed
and hopefully a set of 285/75 tires.------------------ordered procomp extreme A/Ts 285/75
I may be adding more to the list as it get closer but thats it for now.

 

started taking some mesurements for a rear bumper trying to work up an idea, its still a ways off just trying to get a plan together.

 

picked up my c.b. today spent some getting it installed

just a cheap one from walmart but it should work fine for this thing.


put together this bracket to mount the antena, I used a 3 foot fire stick I had laying around.

not realy happy with where its mounted but I could figure a better spot, I know a lot of guys nount them in the ashtray spot which is a good place but I havent kicked the habbit yet so I still need the ashtray.
didnt good et it all hooked up becouse I didnt have any coax "could have sworn I did but could find it" I will have to pick some up when I get on the road, finish it up the next time Im home.
I stop by a local fab shop yesterday a talked to them about building my skid plate, I really want to just by a bud built but we shall see.
thats it for now thanks for checking in.

 

Looks good, I think you'll be happy with those Procomps, my bro ran those for years. Nice to see you use it to its full potential, proof that is doesnt have to be super modified to do well offroad. What antenna mount are you using for your CB? never seen that kind before.

 

Hey stockwell, glad to hear some good feed back on the tires don't know much about them yet, 4wheel parts had them buy 3 get 1 free so that's a good start. I'm trying to do a mild build with this one just keeping it simple and so far its doing great. The antenna mount I made out of a couple pieces of strap I had laying around I think it will work ok I need to trim the edge down becouse the hatch is hitting it but I ran out of time today.

 

Glad to see you getting some time on the new runner. Hope all is going well.

 

hey jason, i live in kingston springs tn and regularly go towards hohenwald to go hunting. do you know of any good 4 wheelin spots down that way?

 

Hey Terry, not getting much done on anything LOL but plugging along.


Jkelly429 nice to meet another yota Guy from TN, hm wheelin spots you so me the deer around hohenwald and I'll take you wheelin jk.
As far as public land no I do explore the occasionl logging road etc, there is a park in summer town TN "wheeling in the country" haven't been there for a long time, that's about it with out some traveling.

 

yeah ive thought about taking a trip to wheelin in the country or woolys off road. im actually looking for another place to hunt right know cause they're clearcutting some land right next to where we hunt and we havent seen a thing this year. ive had pretty good luck in the past though.

 

We are planning on heading down to Tracy city the 19 to do "the damn locals" toy run if. If you decide to WItC or woolys let me know I'm game if I'm home.
I haven't got to do any hunting for the past couple years the job Just didn't allow time hoping to at least get in the woods this year.

 

i like the cobra cb looks great in the box probably works great to ment to pick one up excatly like that but found one among the junk ive collected lol

 

I built that closest pickup from stock and those are MY beadlocks on it too!

4Runner is looking good.

I spy a WabFab Tshirt to the far left too!

:wabbit2:

 

got plans the 19th or id come. ill let you know if i decide to go later this month.
i just found out about a place about 5 min from my house that has quite a few trails. the guy charges $30/yr to use the land for hunting, fishing, 4 wheelin, ect. im gonna check that out this weekend.

 

I can't believe as a truck driver that I didn't have a spare laying around LOL, I like the small size of this one and I'm sure it will work fine.

 

Yes sir you were well represented at seto LOL. Looking forward to seeing your 4runner come together.

 

Sounds cool let me know how it goes.

 

looks pretty good i really like that tundra

 

I think he's got it for sale LOL.

 

tires are in just have to find time to get to nashville to pick them up, probably the next time Im home.

 

Its looking like I'm not gonna make the trip on the 19 I just can't seem to get things to come together. Hoping maybe Thanksgiving weekend to at least make it out to one of the local Parks.
