New Guy
« on: Sep 26, 2020, 09:47:52 PM »
Hello all,

I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I am new to the whole rock crawling scene (something I have wanted to do for a while). I don't know much about the sport, but am really eager to learn. I currently have a 1987 Toyota Pickup with a 22R and IFS suspension. It needs some work, but I would like to complete an SAS and maybe do some air lockers. I look forward to learning from each and everyone one of you. I am sure I will have a lot of questions along the way, so please forgive me.

Welcome aboard mlmorris88!  :beerchug:

When I think about my past rockcrawling days, lots of things come to mind. :biggthumpup:

Other than my 8 years of sandrailing in the dunes, my 18 years of very active rockcrawling and 4-wheeling was the most enjoyable time of my life. :gap:

One aspect 4-wheeling is of course the vehicle and three words come to mind – crawler gears, body armor, articulation.  :twocents:

Beyond that, there are decades of experiences and an infinite number of opinions. :yesnod:

Asking for forgiveness usually implies that you have done something wrong.  Jumping into the best rockcrawling online forum is a very “right” thing to do.  :thumbs:

I would bet that in the annals of this website there are discussions and information about every aspect of rockcrawling and early Toyota 4x4s.  :driving:

Gnarls. :blah:

Do some research before the SAS and pull the trans.  Wish I would of the first time.  :hammer:
