Haha yeah, Ill bring one just in case because you never know! And what about getting tipped over? Those Bronco II's arent exactly low!

 

Roni, will TRDevelopement be joining us in his own ride this time? Saw the video in your build thread...it definitely looks like he's soaking it all in...good times for sure. And I know I'll be doing the same thing this sunday till I get comfortable with how she act's and react's.

WIDE EYED indeed.

I may make it out Sunday....gotta see if I can sucker someone into co-piloting for the trek out from the West-side.

 

Is there a way to post pics from my iPhone?? If so I have a bunch of pics from last time, and I'll have a bunch from this time also

 

TED- I believe TRDevelopment ( D ) will be bringing the "pile" as he calls it. I love making/editing those videos....starring in them is my fav. part haha He had a blast...I think I heard him say he enjoyed it more then road racing the STI ....I've made yet another convert lol

-RONI-

 

Nice...I hope he doesn't try and drift the 4Runner though....on second thought, I'd like to see that! So good things happened in the last couple days, the new 4Runner was jerking really bad when a generous amount of throttle was applied...I thought...CRAP! THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC! Turns out cleaning the MAF was all it took...oh and the bone dry K&N air filter from the PO. I thought he was kidding when he said he used compressed air to clean it!? Just makes me wonder what else I'm to discover that he fixed. Oh yeah....all the loose wires under the carpet running to the rear...looks like they might have been for an amp. So the running boards are coming off tonight and I definitely need to adjust the headlights...no doubt this was another fix for him...sheeesh.

-Ted.

 

POs do some great work, haha! I'm in the process of cutting out/ re-doing all of my rollcage work done by the previous owner, the welds were hideous!

 

Curious, what are you using to cut em' out? And I think my first vehicle may have been like that, but the rest have been handed over in good condition.

-Ted

 

So, do we have a solid plan for Sunday? Meet up at the Chevron at 10? or are we going to have some people meet up at Chevron and everyone else head to the air down area just inside the gate?

Who's all coming? Does everyone know how to get to Butcher Jones? I don't care what we decide to do as far as meeting up - I just want to make sure we all know what the plan is

 

I used a plasma to cut out the rear section of it. It used to have seats in the back with a cage and spare tire carrier over head, but the bends looked like he heated up the tube and cranked on it and the welds looked like he did them with a stick welder on full blast left handed haha!

 

Jeff I will be at the Chevron at 10 am

Ted glad to here everything is going smoothly with the new rig. Whens the fun stuff get thrown on?? haha

-RONI-

 

I'll meet up with you all there, I'll show up a little after 10 and get ready to roll

 

10:00 am at Denny's......? A fella gots ta eat! Just kidding....chevron like the last time...

Oh... And I'm falling in love my 3.4L...just thought I'd share this...

Roni- I've already been cleared to make a set of sliders. Just need to make the rig trail worthy first....then...and then a rear tire carrier/ bumper...tow points too...cause ya know I'm gonna get stuck somewhere and need a little help.

-Ted

 

At least you didnt find a 10mm 1/4 drive socket in the bottom of the oil pan. The PO also managed to silicone a part of the oil pan where apparently there was a huge hole, It was pretty magical.

 

That Sucks, lol i dont think i hurd the 10mm 1/4 inch drive part.

 

Wish i could meet you guys there, maby ill come out when i get off work at 2

 

Thats gonna be freegin awesome! You went from a 2wd pick up to 4x4 with all sorts of plans so fast!

-RONI-

 

Haha! That sounds very magical!! The PO on my tundra on the other hand (aka my dad) is a different story. Liked to bump into things in reverse but other than that it was babied. It's the first get in and go vehicle ive ever owned, good feeling right there!

 

Yeah right now my get in and drive vehicle is my 4runner. Well see how long I can DD that thing.

 

I won't be there tomorrow. Truck failed emissions today. Not badly, and I probably just need to adjust timing, but I don't have much time for all that today.

Is anyone from here going on the Crown King run on Dec 10th?
