[ajordan1975]

wouldn't a low pro plug have worked instead of cutting to cross member? 

[J_Cole92]

ya it would have but then i would have had to drop the crossmember to drain the oil lol i thought about it

[J_Cole92]

Planning on hitting the rubicon next monday thru friday so i wanted to test the runner out a bit, went to prairie city and truck did awesome! got a little high centered but i was able to wiggle off of it. it was hot but fun i was the only one out there lol pics

i haven't updated this thing in forever lol, I've been going to school for welding and working. Finally got a daily driver in september, an 84 toyota 4x4 xtra cab 22r 159k original miles and i think I'm the 3rd owner or something like that. Truck runs tits and everything was good until it got stolen one night in march from my house in Carmichael, around 9 pm thursday night it got stolen and they caught the guy around 1 am sunday morning and i got it back sunday. took 1 headlight, my stereo, dash matt, floor matts, oakley sunglasses, school parking pass and trashedddd it. even forgot his needle  Took about a month but got that rollin as my daily again. 4runner is still strong. did a fordyce run in november, had about 15 rigs with us and about 4 didnt break lol is was a bad weekend but we still had fun. did another fordyce run in February and that was a good one, didn't break anything travis just rolled again lol but it was good we pulled him back over and his truck was fine lol. built a front and rear bumper for my 4runner and need to get some new front springs and put my welded carrier in the front and i should be good for the summer! planning on rubicon for memorial day again, picssss

dan got some new 39.5 iroks with headlocks before the trip, he was killin it walked soup bowl in the rain lol then sheared all the passenger hub off and sheared the rear drive flange off the rear diamond axle. lol he needs arps
















we camped here at soup bowl all weekend and probably had close to 30 rigs there at one point it was awesome, rained a little saturday then hailed hard for about 45min to an hour, then cleared up for the mot part for the rest of the weekend. weather scared a lot of people away but it tired out to be pretty nice weather after the first day





marshall had a longggg weekend, blew up a front 5.29 third friday night someone went back into town and got him one came back out changed that, blew it up the next day, i gave him my spare 5.29 third and we busted some ass on his front end. had the new third member in the truck and we were wheeling again under an hour later. fastest trail fix I've ever seen lol it was fun. then that night he completely ripped his driver knuckle off  :beer chug: took 4 hours to fix that mess and get him back to camp. then nick in the green single cab, snapped a front main leaf and busted his front driveline, dylan had his ready welder and welded it up legit lol chris said he isn't gonna touch it, burned in fine 

marshall is the red runner dylan in the green taco





dan walking up soup bowl lol















somehow managed not to break anything on my truck this trip  just got a flat tire when i got home lol second time this has happened, at least i made it home

[J_Cole92]

Been trying to get some work done lately on the runner. My parents just bought a new house so I've been dealing with the move for about the past moth and holy shiiit do we have a lot of stuff lol. Finally getting settled into the new house and loving it. The day i went to move the runner to the new house the fuel pump took a shiiiit lol i had it all loaded up with my welders and tools and stuff and i was dead in the water, ended up trailering it the the new place. Made 7 1/2" shackles for the rear to try to lift it up a little more, it was sagging way to hard with zero weight in the truck. Then took the gas tank out hand did a fuel pump ,fuel filter, and fuel pump strainer. Working on getting the tank back in the truck today which isn't gonna be very fun lol Then this evening me and some friends are gonna go cruise into barret jeep trail to check it out being it just opened \back up this past week for the first time in years lol I also put some longer front shock on my xtra cab, the front has like 2- 2 1/2" lift springs the the stock shocks were not long enough. Just sitting flat the shocks were all the way extended so i has ZERO down travel and it handled like complete shiiiit lol longer shocks fixed that



new shocks are doing awesome















new ride hight





new fuel pump



When my grandpa came to town to check out the new house he brought an old hoist for our shop. Super beef ! ton chain fall hoist. Cant wait to lift some stuff ith it lol







then we started the pit bike track behind the shop haha it needs to be winter so we can start digging!  Having a blast at the new house between the shop and all the room i want i really scant complain

[Dingman.]

That looks like a really nice shop setup you have there!

[J_Cole92]

its so nice haha i love being able to take your time on stuff now cause nothing is in the way. Barret was awesome, there was a few rigs on the trail but not bad at all. Wasn't able to take my 4runner this time cause i didn't have the tank back in yet from the fuel pump but i still had a blast. Got my runner back on the road now lol gonna hit prairie city in the morning to get a test run in before next weekends Fordyce run. can't wait to get back out on the trail in my truck. Heres some pics from Barret









Dylans exhaust tubing broke right before the welds lol he ratchet strapped it back for the rest of the trip lol











Dan put a hole in his sidewall  third trip out in the brand new iroks lol plugged it up and had to stop for air every 30 min for the rest of the trip hahah






Rory taking the hard line coming in, in his freshly built taco







ill post some stuff up tomorrow after i get a good shakedown run in

[1985CRAWLER]

u gonna be at MCR this year?

[J_Cole92]

Yeah I plan on making it a few of my friends are registered, I missed the date but I'm still planing on going

[J_Cole92]

Last weekend was such a blast. Went up to fordyce for my 20th birthday. Went up Friday and dropped in Eagle Lakes then came out Cisco. Ran up to wh3 Saturday night then camped at committee. Way happier with the longer shackles in the rear, doesn't sag as hard when I'm loaded up with gear. Didnt break anything! This season is going way better than last season when I broke all kinds of stuff lol. This week cut the back floor out of the runner to run my shocks into the cab and to weld the tops of the bumper I wasn't able to get to before, then I waked out the spare tire carrier cross meber thing. Also need to make some new sliders mine are a little bent and my doors are dragging on them lol I think I'm gonna a do some square ones this time.







After the first water crossing, deepest water I've driven through! Haha





My buddy Michael had a rough weekend, had a nice roll over off a 10ft ledge smashed his radiator and p/s resivor. We hi lifted the front fender back out, plugged up some holes and wheeled all day and night!! Then his fan exploded and put a bunch of holes in the radiator. And on Friday night on the way up his power stroke broke down, then when I called him at staging he told me he was still gonna make it. 12 am friday night I got a snapchat from him saying he was on his was, Saturday morning we rolled through the 2nd water crossing and he was sitting there waiting for is haha so pumped when I saw him!





Third water crossing



Once we got to committee that's when the action started haha everyone we knew started rolling in





Chance in the black fj broke a u joint on that line. It was his first trip to fordyce in his fresh built Fj Crusier. D60 front steerling 10.25" in the back on 42s, three link front Chevys in the rear. Besides the u joint the thing did awesome

Then Colby was broke in that pic too I think he blew his power steering or something lol.

[/URL

Here's jason, first trip out in the Sami he just built, d60 front 14 bolt rear, 40s and a V8. Such an awesome crawler.

Chad in the red Sami going hard as always haha then the guy in the red taco was cool. It was the first time I met him and he was showing up all the buggies with his Tacoma on 42s haha.




Here's jake in his Cherokee, rock jock 60 front and 14 bolt rear fully built one ton axles. He de beaded the passenger rear tire like 45 seconds after I took this pic haha

Then he kept trying that line untill he got kicked sideways then rolled back down the line, you suck chad haha




Another pic of chance while he changed his u joint

[mdtrail-toy]

Love the build.  The fuel sending units are always fun. Did mine a while back by my self "not recommended" ended up just pulling the whole tank off and reinstalling by myself.  Good looking under carriage shots!!
