Riverside?,what shop?.

4 Wheel Parts when they were on Indiana along side the freeway, was about 10 min from my house there.

...and another one of my early rigs. I just noticed something funny about the first picture and my current avatar, seems I like that angle or something.


First picture, John Bull entering the camping spot, the second for those that remember it is Santiago Canyon, the last two are TDS. In fact the Santiago Canyon picture may have been the last pictures taken with a vehicle, we ran it the last weekend it was open on that Sunday.

The Riverside 4WP? , That's still there,that's store number 55, I used to work there a few years ago.I still have a couple of friends who still work there,one is now the store manager and the other is the shop foreman.

[Rocksurfer]

I know that there is still a store there and where it currently is at but they used to be further down Indiana by Adams.

[Rocksurfer]

Thinking about it they were closer to Madison, I think there is a Goodyear Tire Center and an Autozone at that location now.

Oooh,I know what you're talking about.Actually,that was a D!@K Cepek store . LOL,My buddy Berto who now works at 4WP used to work there.Wow Ron,we're talking 1993,94 maybe?.

[Rocksurfer]

It also became a 4 wheel parts for a while after that, then they moved to the current location.

[Rocksurfer]

When I moved from Riverside in 1999 4 Wheel Parts was still at that location. They moved sometime after that.

[iNfErNaL]

Never knew that.I just remember knowing they were gonna open up a 4WP in Riverside and that's when the one popped up.

1)   Here's another pic of a pic...   My old Chevy. Funny, this pic
      isn't as old as the one in my avatar.    It had 35" BFG A/T's then
      and is pretty much stock otherwise besides the lift.  I've had
      this truck now for 18 years and it was my dad's truck when new which
      makes me the 2nd owner. He traded in his '76 cadillac for it in '78. God,
      I'd hate to think what that car would look like now with a lift and big
      tires.    Although, it had a 500cid V8. 




2)  Yeah, still got it too!    Since then I did a 3/4 ton conversion and it
     has become more or less my tow rig for my toyhauler. I still wheel it in the
     sand though.    Here it is now.

And of course my other toy that some of you may know.

My first toyota 4x4. No motor, tranny, or transfercase. Was putting a 4.3 in it but.....

This happened

[Rocksurfer]

How'd that happen if it didn't have a motor or trans?

[ltd.yfz]

I was towing it on a trailer to have a shop put the motor in for me and lost control of the trailer.

[Rocksurfer]

I was thinking something like that.

Thought I'd bring this thread back up because I posted this picture in another thread yesterday . That's me standing in front of my black '87 Toyota 4x with 31" BFG muds at the time . We had just ran a trail in Deep Creek , at the time it seemed pretty extreme to me  . In the other thread I posted this picture in I put "At the time I thought my rig was built and aparently I thought I was ripped  " . This was back in 1995 :
