Misc Pics from Wheelin today



^this dude had some junkyard find jeep "pioneer" that had 35's+. No hood. No roof. No doors. No dash.. Crazy mofo..



^ This guy got into this situation trying to help the person in the following pic. Cool guy and a great driver.. Got out of this in about 4 seconds.



^ This guy was real crazy driving through brush and beating his heap all to hell. In this shot, he had just SLAMMED his front diff on that hump trying to get through that ravine.. All of it seemed to remain intact..

yeah that hoodless truck sure was a sight, lol.

the other group consisted of a xterra, frontier, and a couple jeeps. they were nice guys/girls, even helped spot us a couple times. a 6spd xterra would be my 2nd choice after toyota, they're not TOO bad.

all we had was matt's camera phone, so humiliating non-toyota owners was more important than our stock flex

platypus and his friends met up with us later and showed us what his 2nd gen could do. we had a good time. maybe platypus will have some pics to post...

there was one instance which i would have given anything to have someone shoot my truck.. according to those who were there my pass. rear tire was flown ~4' in the air... pucker factor was off the scale.. it was def the most extreme thing ive done.. apparently it was a sight to see as people were running over from other parts of the field to see what was going on.. seems like it coulda been ugly, but those nissan guys gave me a good spot

Weak, I missed that? I can't believe someone went through that ravine junk!
Did you guys just see all those people up there or did you know them?
