    wheelin off highway 2

    The more I modify my vehicle, the more I miss the blissful days of wheeling stockers. Seriously. These maps are not good. Very confusing. More armchair conservationists dictating where I can drive my vehicle in an area I have been visiting for three decades now. So much red tape and spin factor...

    Manastash Ridge Trail - curious...

    Wow. I just walked away letting this pot boil! Thanks for all of the input, fellas. I don't know why I typed 610... TC's off road store? Funny Good info. And I second the thought on staying on the trail. There are numerous bone-headed tracks through the meadow at Tripod Flats. Not to bash...

    Manastash Ridge Trail - curious...

    610, Huh? Any older maps that show it? I guess I am a little unsure if this is the same trail I am thinking of. But, Rocky Saddle would be the desired result.

    Manastash Ridge Trail - curious...

    A few weeks ago, a few friends of mine, including that jackass Boonie Buster, went camping/wheeling over on the Ellensburg side of Manastash for the first time. We had done the Naches side many times before. We ran the Tripod Flats Trail to its junction with others on top of the ridge, then back...

    Manatash/Liberty

    I like to camp/wheel in Liberty alot. It isn't the most challenging, but it is really scenic and fun. I don't want every trip to be a ball-buster. I am a little unclear as to what the upper/lower trails are... I was going over on Memorial day to wheel (always try to) and have never ran into any...

    Loose bearings on Toy carrier

    I am rebuilding my front diff on my Toyota pickup, and when I went to pull the bearings off the carrier, they more or less fell off. I decided to use a stock carrier from a diff I had laying around that has never been torn down, and damnit if one side was the same, even with a brand new bearing...

    Concerning IZZY

    I don't know everything about the whole Wild Sky thing, I kinda distanced myself from it as I knew it was just bull****. They love to make Wilderness out of land that has been used for years... Anyway, it seems that it would be a huge oversight on their part to include the "road" into the...

    toyota asian hub?

    Just get a new spring. There has to be somebody you know, or somebody close to you that has a hub or springs you can get. I am actually doing a "rebuild" on mine now. Good luck.

    Near flop on the stair step at reiter!

    I can see how maybe different runs bring different results, but I took my '91 Toy through there about a year and a half ago when it was still IFS.

    Another TIRE question for snow wheeling

    I can vouch for this... Also, superchargers really help in snowy conditions.

    Another TIRE question for snow wheeling

    The best tire I have so far ran in the snow, that has also done well in other areas, is the MTR. Buy the biggest size feasable, and air it down to around 4-8 psi, depending on conditions. As far as the rear, my Aussie Locker (almost the same as a Lockrite) does cause a little slip. I would go...

    22RE rod knock

    Gotcha. I understand the concept, and if it was just a wheeler, I would say "Amen!" But, it is not. It is my little bro's first truck. I mean, his first daily driver. I want it reliable, and like I said before, it is almost brand new. What a waste! I kinda think we would like the experience of...

    22RE rod knock

    Yes, I did. Just seeing if there is any other ideas out there, and mainly looking for advice of what to ask of a machine shop... I guess I don't know what you mean. I know it is "just a 22RE" but I think that means different things to different people. This motor is fresh, just got tipped...

    22RE rod knock

    So, I already pushed the search button, and a few things came up, but didn't fully answer my questions.... In the 4x4 section, I posted a question about machine shops. This is regarding the same issue, but is more "technical", I think. My brother just picked up a '95 Toyota 4Runner that had...
