Once I stop being lazy and finally get some free hosting I will post up some pictures of my ride. Seems like there could be some inter manufacturer battles coming up. Some good looking rigs though, what about a better picture of that last one.

No.... I don't think so. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Everyone is going to behave.

Pictures from the december trip to Uwharrie.

Harry - did you get the truck painted yet? EDIT: Never mind.

My '96 Limited 4Runner. Love it.


One of my '88 4Runner before I purchased it 2+ years ago. Yet to wheel it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Should be for sale here in the next few months.

my 96 runner...(BKG) i want mine exactly like yours!! very jelous


and my 91 which was sold 2 months ago to some guy in NOrthern cali

Only difference that I can see are the PIAA's, the 20% additional tint, the removed running boards, and the wheels/tires. The wheels are the TRD, but direct from the manufacturer, wrapped in Nitto's. Oh, and the roof-rack is sitting in my Mom's garage. That's the extent of the external mods...

My old ride. Hurricane flooded.


My Toyota.


My gen2, getting head gaskets and gen1 and dads gen1 that was my first one.


I used to drive this.


My newest, the yellow one.

We mudders who use metric tools have a little more finesse, IMO. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Nice shots guys, keep 'em coming. I need to get the lead out and host my junk I s'pose.

Here's one of my mitsus (his name is Mitsu).



He's a 2005 model, independent front and rear, but quite capable on all terrains except ice, where he falls flat on his grille.

He's pretty low on emissions, and gets really good kibble per gallon. He's Japanese, but was made in Canada. No modifications, 'cept for a winch line which he's not real fussy about... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Phil wheres the newest version of Betsey? Or are you not gonna share with the rest of the forum? I know its a Mitsubishi thing right?

Nice toys (as in play toys, not necessarily "Toys") in this thread!

Since I sold the 4Runner to Harry, this is my only 4WD toy (for the moment anyhow...)

At least it's dirty, much to the disbelief that the '05+ can actually go off road


That little tiny bed can actually fit all of this stuff!


Recently changed the wheels and tires to ProComp X-Terrains and 7189 wheels. Drivetrain will remain stock until the 3/36 is burned up. I have a Schrockworks bumper being built and I'll add some DeMello or Stubbs sliders before long.

azrain, that is a very nice looking truck. The only ones of those i have seen around here have been the street edition. Nice to see that people actually wheel them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks. I like my toys clean looking. That's just the anal retentive nature that is me, it can drive a guy batty.

I've seen about thirty or so of these actually getting in the dirt, sure is a small number compared to number on the street here in PHX. Don't even get me started on something like this:

Seems like a good time to make intros to the non-Toyota folks.

I use my outfit for multi-day/ multi-week, self-contained, backcountry off-road adventures in the western US. Some people just call them expeditions. Deserts or mountains, mud, sand or rock, I'm set up to do a little bit of it all. My gimmick is posting up pics of all the beautiful places I've been fortunate enough to visit, and then rubbing it in to the other members of my section. It's a job I take seriously and gleefully.

Les, mine's a '95 Cruiser. I should turn 190k in the next day or two. It's in great mechanical condition, so-so cosmetically. Not even 2 weeks after buying it, a deer took a header into my driver's side door. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

Can I have 'or not' for 800 please, Alex?


I ain't doing nothing, Mr. CSX Special agent (not really- just went to the head of a right of way to watch some rafters on the New in OCTOBRRR.



Stopped at southside junction in Thurmond WV (where CSX and RJC meet up) for a photo op.


Stopped by the old (still operational) C&O signal tower in Thurmond, WV. CSX still uses this line to haul coal, agricultural products, and mixed frieght. Its also a stop along Amtrak's Cardinal Line

Wow, a great collection of images!

And some more from the Mitsu "crowd" !!!!

Some of us have made a few modifications, including this '94 4.3L GM CPI Vortec replacement into my 87 Mitsu (with GM A/T and tcase).
...which about doubled the torque of the 2.6L that was in there before!


Which provided ample power to enjoy the mud/snow in the Pacific North West...



And sure made it easy to enjoy the sights of Colorado (Red Mountain ~13,000') after pulling the 16' fiberglass trailer all the way from the coast!

Mega action pics right here!





Yes, it's my truck and it saw serious action at Costco today. Snagged twenty bucks from the guy in the loading stall next to me on a bet that I couldn't load it all in the little tiny bed.

My back swamp Cajun grandpa would have been very disappointed in me. I couldn't find it in the bed cubbies, although there was a tube of Liquid Nails in there...

You have pretty much unlimited vertical space there, youjust gotta balance right. I like the look of your truck too, sometimes the new double cabs look strangely long but yours looks real good.

You have had some pretty nice trucks there. My dream truck is pretty much an 83, looks like you had a couple pre 84s there. Sweet, props to you.

Those are all the same truck...an 83' longbed. I had that baby 5 years. Then I bought the red 86' in 88' and had that one 12 years and then bought the black 2whr for one year til I bought my 99 Tacoma in 02'. I still have the 99' today.

OMG Brian I can't believe you actually moved on from your pup. I always thought yours was the most interesting truck I've seen on the net, I hope you don't let it go to a bad home. If you're gonna sell it please PM me.

Well, I appreciate that, but there's really nothing too fancy on there. I'll be building the Land Cruiser to have pretty much all the same stuff, but only better.

Ya, I will have to sell it. I'm in the process of removing things that I can use, then cleaning it up, tidying up the wiring, etc, and then up for sale she goes.

The funds hopefully generated will be put towards the LC in a fairly rapid initital build up, before the spring/summer season starts.

I really had severe mixed feelings about selling it at first, but after driving the LC the last couple of weeks, there's no doubt that the LC is the rig that we need and it would be just as capable as the truck off road, but better in so many other ways.

yea, but lately it has been melting within a day or two

Man Hydra.... I'd love to sas your truck. I bet a samurai axle would be perfection. How wide is your rear axle?

How tough are the sammy axles?

**post up in the Sammy section for tech** ~kewl

Tougher than KIA IFS I would imagine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

They are pretty stout. The Birfeilds get ripped out of them, but I know you can upgrade those.

Here's one of me in action in FL mud...



And here's one of my truck sitting next to my brother's 88 Runner

Justice, where was that?

Truckhaven Trail in Anza Borrego..It was washed out real bad that time, I think that was about a year and a half ago. I also ran the calcite Mine trail that day. I tried to organize several trailrides in this area but no one ever shows up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

And you absolutely had to take that line, huh? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Wow...at least you got yourself out! i dont have a picture of the incident, but i was taking my best friends little brother, my brother and their friend home right after the blizzard we had before christmas. i cut down a little fun detour that has some cheap and easy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> 4 wheelin, and ended up breaking through the top layer of snow in this gulley, which had frozen over, and burried my truck to the point that the drift was even with my hood!!!!! luckily, my friend's dad owns a heavy equipment hauling company, and after digging a trench around the front of the truck wide enough to walk, he used a big, catapiller D9 bulldozer to pull me back out onto the trail. after many months of taking a beating, i finally have redeamed myself by pulling his prized F-350 Powerstroke out of a small gully <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. very very funny. anyways, heres my baby.


up by st. mary's glacier in idaho springs. my friend (mentioned above) owns a cabin about 10 miles from nowhere up their. it takes at least 4 low in a stock 4x4 to make it in THE SUMMER! during the fall hunting season, you need a lift and lockers at least to make it within 3 miles of the cabin. its pretty freaky.



This photo doesnt do justice to how steep the driveway is. he was down kneeling taking this photo. this is the driveway down to the cabin. during the hunting season, they park at the top and walk 50 yards to the cabin. its very bad.



the parkiing area at the top of the driveway.

Here's mine, 86 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Had it since 1997 and have been building it up over all that time... meant for the longer trips but also can handle the harder (but not extreme) wheeling. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Few of my little Isuzu!

Somehow siting on it's side cause my starter windings to stop conducting electricity all the way around inside, so a new started had to be fitted to proceed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

I know you take that thing places I cant go, but where I come from thats called "Rolling". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

The right side just kept getting higher, and the left lower until the body was on the dirt.

Busted my tail light out, and dented the 1/4 panel. Ohh well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

It leaked a bit of fuel out, and some power steering fluid.

my poser pic <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Where is that picture taken at? The only decent place I know of around DFW to wheel is the 360 trails. I don't like going there on the weekends cause of all the ROWDIES out there...especially on Sundays.

I know Mineral Wells has some good spots, but that's a little bit of a drive.

What are ROWDIES <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

People that get completely trashed out on the trails, and pay no mind to any kind of safety, and trash the trails. When dealing with vehicles, they are just not safe to be around.

I do drink on the trails, but I take my trash with me, and pay attention to the safety of those I'm wheelin with.

I see. we get a different kind of problem over here, burnt out cars left in the lanes (trails) usually they've been stolen by "joyriders"

That picture was taken out at barnwell mountain.
I don't get there as much as I'd like. 3 hour drive <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Yea, we get burned cars out there all the time too. And actually, out where some stock 4x4's could not get too there is a full size Greyhound style bus that was dragged out there and burned. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Nice setup on stock there AXE! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Photobucket sucks, but I am too lazy to rehost them onto my own webspace.

Your Raider is BA <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> dude.

I dont remember what you said...did you shorten your front D44? It looks full length to me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Just click once on the IMG code. It is the last of the 4 url's that show up under the pics on photobucket..never had a problem with it.

I see at least one of you non Jeep guys at least rolls with a Jeep or two. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

My Pajero at work I'll post a better shot later

Thanks for the kind words.

I did not narrow my axle. It is a stock wagoneer width. 62ish WMS. Matches my Montero Sport axle in the rear perfectly.

Stock Raider is 59ish WMS, so thats why it looks wider.

SO narrow track wagoneer, defiantly not full width.

My junk today. Went to a local mudhole to get dirty yesterday. Great excuse to get the kids out of the house so my wife could wrap presents.

Note the "truck poop" under the rear axle. My kids spotted it today and cracked up telling each other that that's what it is. Silly boys. The oldest is 8 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My middle son begged me to leave the truck dirty <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

IT IS NICE,I like using it

Ouch 4xmonty!

Was there much left when you flipped her over?

He said he rolled it over, let it sit then it fired right up and he kept wheeling. The sunroof was still operational. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

Wow that was lucky then!

Think I would cry if I did it to mine <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

My Raider is used almost solely as a work vehicle, and I go a great many places in it. Some of the photos are from grading jobs in the Sacramento area, levee work, percolation testing locations, and one of my latest addition last.

My new acquisition (finally after two years):

Thanks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I bought this last March -






It's a 1987 Toyota 4Runner with 124K miles. What made it so special? This....






Yup, a turbo 22RTE. One of only 700 licensed turbo 4Runners in the US. It came from the factory with a digital dash (very 80's) and a clinometer-altimeter. I thought it would make for a fun dd/run-around.

But I needed a 4 door and it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I traded it 3 weeks later....

....and I wound up with this, my dream 4x4.



It's a 1985 Toyota FJ60 Landcruiser -







The list of mods includes a 2.5" SL, 1" BL, 33 BFG's, custom bumpers and a rear Aussie locker. It's perfect for my needs and running around old dirt trails in Wyoming.










This Toyota Landcruiser is a keeper. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I would have to agree with you on that one! Sweet rig! That 4Runner was pretty dang sweet too! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Nice rig and nice shots as usual Creeper. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

My Mk1 Pajero (gen1) finally came to the end of it's useable life with too many repairs required



so i bought a Mk2 Pajero (gen2 in the states, i think <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />)
This is how I bought it standard



and this is it now, with snorkel, winch, 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift, 31" M/T's

Great looking trucks. Good to see pics of the homeland <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> They are Pajeros and not Shoguns?

Yep they're Pajero's, the japanese version all imports, not the shogun that was sold here by mitsubishi. The Pajeros are generally speaking better equipped for the same money and more importantly rust free because they haven't been exposed to our bad weather.

This is my wifes soft top Pajero, due to be traded in for a euro hatch that'll do 60MPG (have you seen how much fuel costs in England <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)

Awesome. A lot of people here will be drooling over that softtop Paj <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Fuel in the UK? Yeah, my mother stayed with us for a couple of weeks. We worked out that it's the equivalent to $12 a gallon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Having said that we drive a total of 40 miles a year in two cars which seems normal and you wouldn't beleive how hard it is to buy a car here that does 35+mpg. I still like it here though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My mother runs a Range Rover in the UK on LPG but it seems the subsidy on that is fading away.

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> WHAT? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Love the new truck. You tested the snorkel yet? Nice discrete winch mount but is the fairlead still the same shape? I would have bent that in no time down there! Dynema (is that how you spell it?) and a low profile hawse fairlead would get round it.

Thanks Matski. The snorkel is untested at the moment but the winch mount has certainly been tested, 4 hours of winching to get myself and another Paj out of a sticky situation and it's still in good shape. A dyneema rope (or similar) is on my wants list but it's all I can do at the moment to find money to fuel the thing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, I hear you there. I just put £110 in mine today @ £1.40 a litre! All gone by the time I got home <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I accidently climbed up the wheels of our car hauler while trying to back off of a little dirt hill. City wheeling at its finest.


Smith grind! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />




Me in the green shorts spotting my exit.









It was real tippy when I was on the top of the wheel well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> but at no point was I stuck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> My nephew and his friends were entertained while taking a break from wrenching.

WTH?? Were you drunk? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

X2 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> So what really happened? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I was goofing off on the dirt pile to the left of the trailer. I got a little high centered on the dirt so i punched it in reverse. The rear tire just crawled up the tires of the trailer. It was a bit tippy on top of the wheels. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> To get off i just turned the wheel to the right and backed up about a foot then turned the wheel to the left and punched it again.



Only two by the way. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Yepper! Linky of Moab trip

Introducing Bonnie & Clyde (l to r):



My wife wanted names in order to seperate her twins...(now, now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

My Raider will now have more concentration as a 'salty' work truck. Clyde will be the family 'wheeler. Bonnie will be Melinda's 'put put' to replace the '05 GMC neither of us like.

That is one sweet cruiser, very nice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
