Seems like there are a good bit of folks folks from Tx, Ok, etc. That being said how about a yota run at Gilmer or Katemcy at the end of the summer?

Just got back from Big Bend, if you haven't been there you should go, lots of great trails.  I'll tell ya it's priceless seeing the look on Jeeper's faces when they see a Toyota Van way the hell into "their" territory. 
Some poser shots:

[burnyota]

why not drive it there, I usually pull mine, but it is also known for flyin down the highway scary fast tires hummin....summer summer I freakin LoVe summer...no doors on , hot and sunny, bikinis on the river and lots of naked women and beer and kayaking and mountain biking and using my Yota to get there and all that shiatt- Woo Ho  summer

[burnyota]

here are some crapy pics of my recent bend test in mig and arc welding classes. Bevel 2 pieces of plate, run a root pass, then a hot pass. an cap it, grind it down and remove the backing strap(arc) with an arc gouger(freakin cool machine) and cut 2 2.5" or 2 1.5" straps and bend to 70,00psi and see if your welds hold. the plate is welded with a 7018 rod and the other is uphill with a Mig .

[burnyota]

if you look closely you can see the heat markings (in the center) from the weld penetration on the two test straps

[red]

wheres convoy the con at?

[79coyotefrg]

the rubi'con' in california,     us easterners where thinking of all gettingtogether and meeting up at different destinations along the way and caravaning to the rubicon

[red]

coo, midland tx is right off of i20, maybe i'll be lucky and wont have to drive to meet yall anywhere.

[red]

would the 4.11 gears in my rear axle work with 4.10 toyota front axle, or would the wheels be moving at too big a speed difference?

That should be fine, the ratios are very close.

[dj]

   Drive my POS rig all the way, are you insane. full hydro steer, somewhat unproven (homebrew) rear suspension, 2 g.p.m. (gallons per mile), have you seen how rough I am on this truck even if it would drive there, the chances of it being able to drive home are very slim. I think I would rather tow it halfway across the country.

[burnyota]

ok - just got done with my welding bend tests, it was tuff!  but now it is time to focus on the yota. I have to good 22R cores. My motor has been in need of a rebuild for a long time. I am considering the 4.3 swap, but really like the idea of just rebuilding the 22R and installing a propane system. The 4.3 swap(rebuilt) and the propane setup with a 22R (rebuilt) would be about the same costs. What do ya'll think and let me know why ....Its allready built(everything but the motor), just needs some go-go....
