Let's see the old stuff.

It's funny to me how many people here consider the late 90's and early 00's as being the old days lol.... Guess I'm old....

Back in what I call the old days you took pictures all weekend and the. Had to pay to have em developed before you could see what you got...

I ain't got easy access to any of my old days pics right now but here's a rig I almost finished building (lol) a couple days ago round about 2000

Awesome thread! I've never been too crazy about all the rock bouncing stuff that people line up to watch at parks. The old school trail rigs and riding is what I've always loved.

Keep it coming!

My first trip to Harlan in my cute lil YJ. Southern Shine Crawl, May '06. I had just gotten into wheeling, but I was hooked instantly.





The man that got me into wheeling. TiredIronGRB in his FJ80 w/ Volvo Portals and 39" Iroks. Still one of the coolest rigs I've ever wheeled with. This was on Fish Fossil in Harlan, August '06. He eventually sold it and bought the buggy I posted about above.



Bumpus Cove in Erwin, TN, January '07. This was the first trip out after we did a SOA and 44/60 swap on my YJ with some bald ass 35" X-Terrains and open diffs.





Bays Mtn. Kingsport, TN, May '07. Still rocking open diffs but upgraded to 37" Iroks on re-centered H1s.



My buddies reaction in the background cracks me up. I had tha 4-banger bouncing off the rev limiter. Lol



Harlan, July '07. My YJ was under the knife for this ride, I rode shotgun with my buddy in his FJ.

Brian Jack on Mason Jar in his Yota Buggy



Toddy should recognize this guy cruising through Lion's Den



My buddy Glenn in his old FJ buggy. LT1 with side pipes, cut 42" TSLs. Thing was nasty.



And on Can Opener



Pretty sure this is Redneckengineered is his old buggy.



And the aftermath of the nastiest roll I've ever seen on Creampuff.



August '07 on some private land our old club had access to for a while. Now I had upgraded to a spool and 35 spline shafts in the rear, and Yukons, super joints, and a lunchbox locker in the front. It was a downhill slope from there.












A lot more where that came from.

the red S10 have dual transmissions ?
 
These arent real old from 06ish I think, when I first got into wheeling, Dont have many pics though.


First tube chassis I had ever seen. Was a sweet little buggy..
Brian Milsap


These Truck were huge and the guys driving them would beat the piss out of them.


Seen these toyota buggies thought they were pretty cool.

The s10 was mine. It had dual cases. Not in that pic. I believe that was about the 3rd trip out in it. It was 350, sm465, np205 and later 203/205. It turned out to be a pretty tough rig. Beat it to death and tore it down to build the buggy that ugly offroad on here has now. The axles in my new buggy build (http://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/forums/index.php?topic=32444.0) are the exact same axles that were in the red s10 which later was od green with flat black race stripes.
 
Looks like safety has improved greatly over the years, starting back at the OP and looking at all the drivers not very many were wearing shoulder harnesses. Now a days it's rare to see someone without a 4-5 point on just trail riding :dblthumb:
 
Re:

A lot of these old rigs look like a lot of the rigs you see in Ohio today. I'm digging this thread!

Man it's good to see some of the old school stuff. Here's a few from about 15 years ago with film that actually had to be developed.

This was the beginning for me. Carb and no power steering

Changed it up a bit and went to 35's and a lift before I sold it.

Took the t-cases and axles out of the yellow one and put them in an 85 4Runner

I.think you give me a ride across the creek at tellico sometime around 98/99 ,we were camped at the crossing and a truck just like that give me a ride to the other side . May have not been the same truck but it sure looks like the same one.

I owned this rig for a few years. Traded it to a guy in Alabama. Always wondered what happened to it.

That thing was bone stock when we started on it. He couldn't decide to back half or not so I just cut it off one night.

I always wondered what happened to it too.
