A New Whatever - MCR14 Break in.

[Wermz84]

I wheeled my 80 in bone stock form other than welded rear and 4.7 case for about 2 years after getting out of my built samurai. I will say some of the best wheeling I've enjoyed was in that stock 1st gen. I dig how yours is built now though for sure.

Thanks.

OK.   Here are a few pics from Prairie City yesterday.  Again, I am very pleased with how it has turned out so far.

So far very stable, The MTR's are smooth on the highway and I was impressed with how much they hooked up on the rocks.  Cannot wait to hit the trail.

still a bunch of little stuff to do.  Oh, and yeah, i'm even slower now on the highway.









I love this photo!  The most caddywhompus my rig has ever been. 


Found my new drive line and u-joint.  lol


Some droop in the distance.




After all these years I'm just not use to seeing light come through under my rig. 


I really like this one.


I love how unnatural the truck looks here.

damn that truck looks good! the MTRS with those allied's are what does it !

why no pics on the big pipe course?

that section is always fun!

[WaffleLux]

Nice rig! MTRs rock on that rig!

Ok, so, you did a little mall crawling. Not a single tire off of the ground in any pic, I thought you said you would test it and stretch it out. We managed to get a flying tire in my dirt pile but none at PC. I was hoping you would drive it like you stole it out there. The 35's make all of that stuff Childsplay now. I guess soup bowl will be on the agenda for this weeks run into the Rubicon

Thanks.   Big pipe course will be next time I'm out.  We were time constraint yesterday.

LOL.  I was actually trying to get a tire in the air.  I was aiming at high and low spots to see if I could get anything off the ground.  I was surprised I didn't as I know there are way more flexy and articulated setups out there.

You just had to let that nick name out...    That is ok, I'm jealous of Snap on money.  hahaha.

Two tone paint is just AMAZING.

Thanks..      I use to want to paint it. But now if i ever do I will repaint it the stock two tone colors.

You to Joe.  Maybe one day we can get some wheeling in. 

Hope you and the son had a great time.

[Dwill817]

Without further ado, as she sits now. 

First, I had a lot of help that I am grateful for.  Thank you (SSIC OFFROAD and John Doe)

Second, I am very pleased with how it turned out. It is a little taller than I planned on but that is ok, as it will settle some.







Up next. Photos in some rocks!!

What's your frame height under the door on the flat portion? And a diameter or your tires at "X" PSI? Just wanna see what height your at..

[RATCATCHER38]

Nice rig mate! Looks great with the beadlocked alloys. I like the way your build progressed. I just read through the whole thing. You must be pretty proud of how it has all turned out.

Just strolling through build as I am getting back into Toyotas after many years:)  I remember seeing this rig at a round up many years ago on 31's if I remember correct?  Need to read through the whole thread
