My name's Laurin, and I live in Flagstaff. I come from the world of land cruisers, and am slowly learning that pickups are different animals.

My truck is a 1986 shortbed pickup. No mods, other than the soft topper and 31's.

It'd be nice to get to know some people around Flagstaff that would be willing to help wrench (i'm trying to learn to fix stuff myself) and wheel.

 

I plan on running box canyon tomorrow around noon from south to north. Kinda short notice, but if anybody wants to join let me know. I went last Saturday and had a blast

 

BlazeRunner without having Blazeland on your 4Runner? That's like having a "Rainbow" bumper sticker on your car when your straight.

 

Lol, I didn't name it after blazeland.. I didn't even know about them or you or whatever till after I chose my name. I'm just always blazing, the trails that is

 

Just messing with ya! Would have been really cool if you had a Blazeland Kit on your BlazeRunnner.

In a coincidental name mix up story, I live near a High School and the stoner kids saw my bumper stickers and started parking and Blazing thinking Blazeland was 4:20 friendly. I wouldn't have minded if they would have picked up their trash. Then a few bad apples start dealing. Anyway, the neighborhood watch stepped in and now its a bust.

 

Oh I know Well if you wanna throw some stuff my way, I'd be happy to support Blazeland
No but really I wouldn't even know where to begin beyond a basic coil lift, I'm still green to the 4x4 world. Also, I didn't see any generation specific stuff on your site, u guys do 3rd gen runners? Or is it all custom for every application?

N yeah I can see the confusion with any kind of name that is sort of suggestive, especially in SoCal... I'm actually from Redondo beach / Torrance and miss the hell out of it

Hey guys, new to the forum, and just bought my 1996 4Runner SR5 right befor Christmas. I've been wheeling before, but the last 10 years or so, I have not. I wanted to get back into it, and what a better way than to buy the truck I've always wanted? I miss wrenching on my own cars, so now I get to do it again.

 

Hey where the hell did everyone go this thread has just died

 

Hi everyone i live in glendale for the next two weeks then i will be living up in prescott az.
I can not wait!!
My truck is a 88 very clean condition so at this point i am trying to keep it that way.
I am adding bf goodrich 33 12.50 15 km2
looking to do a 2" or 3" body lift or should i do it another way? i am new to this.

 

im here to

 

I'm here in tucson. Just bought an 82 pickup it needs quite a bit of work before I'll be out on the trails but she'll make it haha

 

When you get her up and running let me know! I need another trail buddy! I am slowly becoming part of Wildcat Offroad at the UA and there's always a wheeling trip. you'll probably see me driving around Tucson.

blue runner, usually topless, grey door haha

 

Sounds good I definitely will be lookin out for ya. She runs fine just gotta get it to pass emissions and redo a bunch of wiring and fix a few oil leaks but you might see me around too. White pickup no tailgate horrible white paint job, no front bumper as of yet haha. She'll be pretty one day.

 

6 months ago, mine blew a headgasket all while sitting in front of the house waiting for new seals...yeah it sat for about 2 months before this but went to start it up for a quick QT run and nothing but white smoke. Neighbors appreciated it I'm sure. So now I have an engine in the garage from an Automatic 97' with 135k on the clock waiting for more money to buy the necessary parts for the transplant. As soon as that's done, then the axle seals will be replaced...and THEN, maybe I'll get to wheel it after I put some miles on the newer engine. Either way, I miss driving it.

 

Oh damn, needed to add another post to move past the bad number...

 

Ya I understand that. My truck runs and drives just fine but I can't even register it till I can get it to pass emissions so no driving it for now haha it's killin me

 

Hey Ted, you do realize they sell head gaskets right? You don't have to throw a whole new motor at it. But since we're on the subject, I'm dropping a new motor in mine too, the old one smells funny.
