We did something similar a couple of years ago with two old beater Toyotas. However, we did the whole trip without a trailer. We drove both trucks from north Alabama to Montrose, Colorado then did the rim rocker trail from Montrose to Moab. This trail was not extreme, but it was 160 miles on...

Sent you a text.

Exactly. Two top notch guys right there. They can both build awesome rigs on their own, so anything those two built as a team has got to be even better. Beautiful buggy. Great work Brian and Daniel. Can’t wait to see it on the trails. :dblthumb:

That is awesome! Doesn’t surprise me that Joe came up with this. He’s a super smart guy. I’m definitely gonna go see him and buy one of these. :dblthumb:

I don’t know about any hill “killing”, but there will be a few of us poor folks with Toyotas there trying to worry them to death! :dblthumb:

We had a blast up there yesterday! I brought out the old yellow '79 yota for some old school wheeling. Most fun I've had on the trails in a long time. We hit hit a lot of trails. Moonshine canyon was my favorite. Made it the whole way in a full bodied truck with a worn out 20R and a carburetor...

Not the greatest location. Been by there all my life, but don't know that I have ever stopped there. Usually some shady looking people ther when I drive by. The chevron across the street is less sketchy. It's a busy intersection, but it's hard to get into that parking lot unless you are heading...

Nobody else sells that adapter that I am aware of. Probably be cheaper to find a used auto out of a 4wd Tacoma.

Probably the same group that left trash all over the ground at the waterfall. My six year old son picked up nearly a whole bag of trash that these punks left. No excuse for this. This is the reason all of the local trails are closed or being closed.

No. Curries at least actually did use a steering box. Although, not sure how a fully custom built tube chassis is considered a modified stock. Poison Spyder had the controversial cable steering.

Yes, team 4580 may have finished 2nd, but they are the real winners of the EMC stock mod class in my book. They are what this class is supposed to be about. Grass roots racing, an actual modified stock vehicle built in a home garage by average guys. Unlike Currie's tube chassis ultra 4 car with...

That's correct ! Congrats to team 4580 for the second place finish ! :woot:

Looking for Jordan Townsend and team 4580 to pull off the win in the EMC tomorrow. Southern built rig with a lot of Alabama guys out there helping with this team !

JD, say you go to school for machining, would you be able to move into the machine shop at your current job ? Anytime you can learn something new is a good thing. However, if you had to get a job somewhere else as a machinist with just what you will learn in school, you will probably be taking...

Make sure you get the right length stroke on the ram.

I worked in a fairly small machine shop at a big aerospace company with mostly white collar employees with no idea of what it takes to build parts. We actually had a guy tell a group of new hires touring our shop that the engineers design the parts, then send it to the machine via a cable and we...

You will need a tapped steering box, ram, and lines. I would highly recommend adding a bigger reservoir and definitely a cooler to the system as well. I've had good luck with Trail Gear's hydro assist kit. Check the vendor section for XRR. He has one in stock at a good price. If you have a...

XRR = :woot: Ben is the man. Where I buy all my parts. :dblthumb:

That looks correct to me. I see no reason that clutch shouldn't release. Check the slave cylinder and make sure it is moving when you press the pedal without it being bolted to the trans. I got a new one from the parts store one time that the bleeder hole wasn't drilled deep enough to hit the...

Any chance the CV bottomed out causing it to break? The IFS CVs do not have very much travel. I would check with the suspension at full droop and see if the CV is binding. If you just want to replace it anyways, a standard u-joint will be stronger than a CV. thumb.gif
