More pics to come!

Someone told me that this might have been owned by a former Board Member? I would love to know more about it.

Here she is next to my DD. First thing up after some cleaning up will be attempting my own 3RZ conversion.... but that's going to be awhile lol.

Wait... What?

I think it is a members truck, I've seen it on here before.  Nice rig man. :thumbs:

looks like RockRescue's rig..


Yep that's what some people were saying. Apparently it originally came out of Oregon.
Wait... What?

I think it actually originated in Flordia, but I am not 100% on that. RockRescue will chime in eventually as I am fairly certain its his old rig. Either way, its a beautiful runner.

Very nice, and I do remember this one belonging to a board member from Arkanslaw maybe?  A little different paint scheme.  Not to say yours wasn't a board member's either, just that I know this one is/was.

Ahhh. Maybe its not his. I forgot that one had the red in the back. Hmmm.

That's an awesome paintjob! You wouldn't think the Orange/White/Red Scheme would work. But I think it does.

My buddy told me that my front shackle angle makes baby jesus  :rivers:



Here's some more pics.

That was Rock Rescues runner I'm pretty sure. He does live in oregon and he sold it to a friend who probably sold it to you.

Front shackle angle isn't too bad but could be a little better.

body lift in my opionion needs to go :twocents:

twistedtoy92

get rid of the body lift, correct shackle angle and it looks like the steering box could use an inch or two forward! Other than that what a BADASS runner!!!

Lol thanks man. It's a 1 inch lift. I actually don't mind it. I've always toyed with the idea of a 1 inch or less body lift. If it was anything more than an Inch yeah it would be gone. I dunno we'll see.

I agree for the moment, it's not hurting anything lol. It needs some odds and ends. But I can't complain about it as a whole. Runs, starts right up, and best of all it drives!

Yep the guy I got off of said he traded his Rubicon to his buddy for this from Oregon.

Does Rock Rescue still come around? I would love to get some history on this. Show him the improvements I do as time/money allow.
Wait... What?

fade

he still does come around some times, I haven't been on here in a while as I own a cherokee now. I'm in the process of selling it to buy my buddys 98' 4runner and be back in the toyota game. I can text him and see though.
