First off, not sure if this is in the right section or not; if it's not, feel free to move it.

(Elvota moved thread to "Trip Reports" )


Went out with two buddies this weekend, one in an S10, and the other in a Jimmy.

GM at it's finest:


I ended up having to pull them both out:



Then, it was the S10's turn to pull me out after my gas tank got caught on a huge mud pile:





Then we headed back into the city to find some more obstacles:



My stock suspension flexing(or at least attempting to):

Sweet, a Winnipegheights Decal:




All in all, I had fun, and I'm very surprised I didn't break anything at all. I just wish I had a damn locking rear diff.


Edit: And , what a difference a set of 31" Mud + Snow tires makes. Christ, it felt like the truck was unstoppable compared to my old set of Passenger car tires.

 

nice pics looks like your havin some good fun. tires do make a big difference i remember going from some generic street tire to bfg at's i was like holy crap! and the at's arent even that great for mud

 

I am having a blast. I can safely say off-roading is more fun than Autocrossing my Datsun Z.

 

looks like a fat girl with thin legs in tight pants...... *grin* Glad you had fun.

 

yea my trial rig was night and day different when i got mud tires then again when i welded her up...

rock on!

 

how did u manage to get stuck in less than three feet of mud? lol is it that common for 4runners to be weighted down that much?

 

You should hook up with my buddy Levi H has an '01 I think F150 supercrew. I'm not that far from the 'peg myself, maybe I shoul make a trip some day.

 

Lol. There was a big pile of mud that was there from my buddy in his S10 (when he got stuck there earlier). I figured I could power through it, but my gas tank got caught on it. I probably could have got it out with the shovel, but it was more fun with the tow strap.

FYI, that was the only time I got stuck that day. The S10 got stuck twice, and I ended up pulling the Jimmy out more than five times.

 

I would love to. Always looking for more people.

 

I belive Levi is on Winnipeg Heights as well, he's probably called XLTexplorer or something like that. Look him up and give him a shout.

 

whoa, no wiper or thrid brake light? did you do some body mods? i dont think i've ever seen another like that.

 

It came stock like that. It's a really low-optioned truck. It's got all manual windows, locks, no sunroof, it came with black trim back(I added the junkyard mirrors), etc.

Not sure if the 3rd brake light regulations would be different since it's a Canadian spec car, and Canada didn't require a rear brake light until 1996.
