downpour11's SAS 96 4runner

Chopped the rear fenders this morning. Still need to do the fronts and figure out how I want them. I need to chop both sides of the bumper, might be able to finish it Friday.

Passenger side rear came out good, drivers side is good enough lol.

 

Had some time today to cut the front fenders. Went pretty high with them, I like it. Need to relocate the washer fluid resi and possibly relocate the battery to get some more sheet metal out of the way, then paint everything.... including all my links and axles lol, meh. I got my flex back I'm pretty stoked. Need bumpstops BAD. Rear tires are hitting the fenders still, but the coil over is bottomed out, so I don't need to cut anymore, I just need bumpstops!!

Bottom of tire to ground is 41", it's got more... and I'm gonna get it!!!

Got pulled over again yesterday... highway patrol as always. No ticket, but mud flaps are going on tomorrow. Boo-hoo.

 

Looking good buddy. When are you heading to Moab??

 

Friend of mine flew down to Norcal from his homeland in Seattle for the 4th, we had no clue what we were going to do.... so we picked him up Thursday night from the airport, and decided to go to Fordyce Friday morning through Saturday afternoon, then go boating all Sunday. One of the funnest weekends I've had in a while, not sure if we could have done anything better.











Ran into some friends from Nevada, about 17 rigs worth







Then I slid to the right and got all diffied for a minute









WH3, the squeeze

 

He made it, then his MC separated from the booster and sprayed brake fluid everywhere and caught fire LOL fire was put out, good to go.







Broken rear driveshaft and bad starter, out for the count

Then we did some boating and ran into some more friends







Buddy of mine caught me on the freeway

 

Ooops haven't updated this in a while. August was crazy busy! Pics are in my t4r.org thread.

Anyway, more Fordyce pics I suppose.

Random trip to Fordyce yesterday. Rode passenger with my friend. He rolled his truck with us back in December of last year and finally had some time to finish his cage so he wanted to take it out.

Dropped down into committee, wheeled to WH3, then back down to WH1, then went to Meadow Lake to spend the night. Awesome trip as usual, ran into a lot of friends and familiar faces.

Here are some videos for now until my pictures upload.


Ran into our friend Ross and hung out for a bit

 

"Random trip to Fordyce yesterday"


This is why nobody likes you. Nice vids though!

 

hahahaha that made me laugh. We are spontaneous wheelers here in Norcal lol

 

Some day I'm going to "spontaneously" come down there and make you take me on the Rubicon. I'll try and give you some warning first.

 

Anytime! Speaking of which... I need to check on the King fire. I don't think it hit Rubicon (yet?), but Hell Hole is burned. Fordyce was pretty smokey.
