finially got  photobucket to upload some pics from last weekend at TSF. the trip went well besides about a half hour after we unloaded my oil pan gasket decided to   . right on one of the oil pan bolts the crap cork gasket ripped and started pissing oil out. we tried rvt'ing the hell out of it as a temp fix for the day but that didnt work. so we headed back to the tow rigs, drained the oil, pulled the pan, and got rid of that crap gasket. we ended up rvt'ing the pan back on and it worked great  ...then we headed back out for some good wheelin. here's some pic's

oh purdy witch tires seem to do better the MT/R's or LTB's?

[TheCookieMonster]

thanks 
my buddy is runnin the mtr's and i was runnin my bro's sx's. the mtr's did like crap until he aired down to about 5-7 psi then they did really good. same with the sx's, they both need to be at low psi to work well in the rocks. other than that they both did well. the swampers will kill the mtr's in muddy spots though.

[GJToyotabug]

so im sure you said once but what springs are you useing?

[TheCookieMonster]

so im sure you said once but what springs are you useing?

they are some cheapy genuine suspension 4" front springs. they actually dont do too bad for what they are. and i have a 3" block in the rear with stock springs  ..

im gonna redo all the suspension here soon with RUF with my rear springs mixed with my front springs maybe. not sure yet.

then im gonna get some s-10 or ford f-150 rears ?? not too sure on that yet either 

all i know is the rear has pretty much no down travel

[twistedtoy92]

id get mid 80's chevy/gmc 1500 rears and 86+ toy rears up front! you wont regret that choice!!!
my rears are 88 chevy 1500's 64 inchers and 1989 toyota 54'' rears up front with 6 inch shackles...  flex rocks!!   just my 

[GJToyotabug]

yeah im thinking of doing some procomp 4" front springs for $56 each and chevy 63's out back

i think i will go with the longer rears and mix my rears in with them. that a better idea

i just dont know about the chevy 63's cause there so damn long

[crawlerdan]

yes, but a little creativity and 22r stuff will work

Nice pictures, looks like a good trail. Beautiful scenery, I love it up there. I was up in Salem recently for business and I want to return and check out the wheeling up there 

[TheCookieMonster]

went up to a local trail on a guys property that we know on sunday...it was a good time 



pretty nasty little rock crawl with dirt. cant really tell in these pics. it was dry so it wasnt that bad.













some carnage. 


i had a sky steering box mount that broke off the frame and broke the ears off my steering box. i welded it on when i first put the lift on my truck and lets just say the welds were not very strong .. it lasted a long time though

hit my fender goin up the rock in the pics



no more nice rocker panels 

[GJToyotabug]

i think you need some protection lol

[88_Pathy]

Little late now, sweet pics though
