Picture proof that *gasp* I do wheel my rig
Finally made it to Paragon last saturday. Had an awesome group (a 1st gen 4Runner, two 3rd gens, an FJ40, and an 80 series (I think)), ran some good trails, had a great time. Here are the pics of my rig - I'll let the other yotatechers post the pics of their rigs. I didn't have my camera with me, so thanks to greg and tim for the pics. Also - a HUGE thanks to greg for the spotting.
Whompum - Blue 2
Whompum - I love this pic
Whompum - using the sliders
Headless Horseman

The Slop (not sure what trail it was on)... nasty run of about 100 yards - 1' deep water with another 8" or so of nastyness at the bottom. The water actually helped keep the tread clean.
The Slop - didn't do this on purpose... a little too much skinny pedal when the tires suddenly found traction. Here's the video (wmv, 2mb) - some profanity, so keep the volume down if at work.
The Slop - unfortunately, there's no more water, just the nastyness
The Slop - this is what I mean by nastyness

looks like your TJM has moved on the brackets or something. i'm seeing about a 1" gap b/w the bumper and the trim on the Pass side but 1.5"-2" on the driver side. you may want to check that out. could be loose mounting bolts. don't want to have it flopping around and moving on ya...

With the 2" BL, it never really looks "good".

This might interest you, modifying the TJM for a body lift.
