Good folks, good wheeling and TONS of garbage hauled out. A drowned 4runner and this lunatic;



We all took a lot of pictures, so I imagine they will be drifting in a few at a time, but I thought I would get the thread started off right...

 

I think I would soil my underoos in that truck.

Glad to hear it went off a success.

 

A fun one of me on the same obstacle:

 

Way to show him how it's done

 

A bit of droop;

 

I like this one

 

...and finally, a MADMAN named Midiwall decides to take it on in his 4Runner.

I didn't really realize how big those rocks are until I saw this shot...

 

King of the hill??

 

Poor Cody

 

Thanks to all of you who managed to slip today's event into their busy schedules... I had a blast, even if I was just a passenger Like Rob said... Good folks, good wheelin'...

Hey, Midiwall... You never answered my question there at the rocks... is it still just a technical challenge?

I want to see all the other pictures of me stuck, my dad was pissed cuz i just had to try it. He just doesnt understand how fun it is to play submarine. I had an awesome time today, thanks again guys!

 

Great pics guys! That was so much fun today! I'm sure I got some good pics of everyone so I'll send them to Mark tomorrow for him to post up. Thanks for the entertainment all.

Cody - you told your dad what happened? Brave of you. I took some good ones of you out in your flotation device, er, I mean Runner.

That was a lot of garbage that is now off the trails and where it belongs!

 

Hey! Welcome aboard, Swamp Thing hahaha

Like I said, you handled it pretty well (even if you *were* silently freaking out ). The best thing you did was listen and learn afterwards

Did you get those fluids swapped out?

 

Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Cody - good to hear that you're still breathing after telling your dad. I know you were freaked about it.

ChrisCo - Yeah, I still see those rocks as a technical challenge more than anything else - outside of almost running Rob over doin' the wheelie (oops), I didn't have any nerve problems trying it. I'd like to do it again sometime and actually make it across without needing a tug. (thanks again Rob!) Given a front locker, I would have made it... I dropped the bug in Rob's ear that we need to talk about about locker options for me.


I'll have pics up later today!

 

If you want I can send them to your e-mail from the WATTORA board.

Your dad was pissed because he never got to do that kind of stuff.

But here is another for the hell of it.....



I like the back of Rob's shirt...

 

Good stuff.

 

Good stuff everybody. Mark, since you already have the air compressor and extra tank, you should just go with the ARB and be done wif' it.

Later.

Yeup, I don't think there's too much doubt about it in that regard. I think that the majority of my questions and such hinge around how much work it is to do.

I have to do my research and look for experience documentation here.. I never really thought seriously about doing it until yesterday when I felt the limits of what I have now. I'm also thinking about adding a 1" body lift so I can get some more tire in there. Oh gawd... Here comes the Visa bandit.

 

Just buy a built 3rd with the locker installed then swap them out. I'll bet you could get one for about 1000.00 or less. Call Randy's Ring and Pinion.

 

It's not a bad install, here's some photos of the first one in the US being put into my truck. http://www.wattora.com/arbinstall/

You could EASILY do the diff removal and install, so that cuts down on your costs a bit. Trying to set the lash properly was a pain and requires a special gauge, so I would pull the diff and take it to a shop to have the install itself done.
