Nice lookin rigs! Looks a little flat out there though. I wish I had another truck to take wheelin. I miss my old ranger, but I'm sure it doesn't miss me at all....

yea well we set out for crawling and ended up prerunnin through the mojave but atleast we found a lil bit of snow.

What part of the desert is that??

FUN FUN FUN!! :up:

looks like you guys were having some fun out there! if only i had the finances currently to make a trip... gonna have to wait a couple months though, and im sure the snow will be gone by then :(

its just outside of redrock i think the place is called dove springs.

Right on. Some of my old stompin ground out there. We are headed to panamint weekend of feb 22-24th

Chris...sorry for the hijack...I just bought a virgin 87 4 Runner. Any advice (it needs an engine) or websites you can suggest?

good stuff I gotta pull her apart and getting all ready to try and hit up the hammers again around the end of next month.

marlincrawler.com or pirate4x4.com

87 that sounds sweet so a motor do you have the motor just blown up? cuz I found a company on ebay called enginebuilder I believe I ordered a whole master rebuild with 20 over pistons 10 over bearings and a custom cam for under $400 thats the way I would go personally. if not that avoid kragens/schucks/checkers motors they are nothing but problems atorco I think it is sells Japanese pull outs for a decent price. good luck and let me know how it goes.
heres a master set for $288

congrats on the buy doc! i cant wait til i have a OHV of my own, or at least can afford to wheel my truck and fix it if i break majorly...

66 where are you currently located at?

Santa maria.

wow now I have hijacked my own thread but man you ain't far from me down in oxnard

hahaha, you bring the hi-jack :w2:

hahaha chris hijacked his own thread. this is great. lol

I heard it comes with owning a chevy you become able to do that lol

able to do what?

I bought this 85 runner, than parted it out and kept the running gear... It will be going under an 89 runner I bought.

Well, its just tired...I was thinking about doing a Chevy swap but a stocker or slightly warmed over Toyota engine is probably the cheapest and most sensible thing to do. Would like to get rid of the IFS as well.

BTW, it spent much of its life in California.

Needs an engine and a clutch but was a thousand bucks.

sweet sounds like a nice project I am headin to va in nov time frame then the runner is getting a 350 and 60/ 14b set up and building a rear engine moon buggy with the yota drivetrain.

put a 4.3 vortec in that bad boy!!

Dang!! That looks clean!!!

thats good stuff I would go with that kit then you can call them and have the kit set up with any cam I had to do that and it should run like a champ. other than that I would take a glance around marlincrawler.com and or pirate4x4.com those guys are pretty handy. if you happen to make it over to pirate hit me up my sn is warren.:U:

goofy whats a moon buggy?

one seater rock buggy they are small and well funny looking but go just about anywhere

VA ?

yea getting outa the navy around then and moving over to virgina for a bit to get some change in life try something new. hit up tellico and stuff lol

ever been to moab?

naw havent yet I plan on making it one day just funds and well spare time limit that. once I make back out to cali in a few years I plan on hittin it up.

Cool. I'll stay in touch, maybe we'll do some offroading sometime.

sounds good to me yo.

The red runner in your pics on pirate, did you buy that thing in the last year?

naw I have had that since I was in high school about 5 years now. its the same one that is now od green.

cool, gotta get some sleep :c:

Hey doc, that yota would look good with a tuned up 4BT and a hood stack......



OR, you could do a 350 SBC swap with a tuned up 350 and have yourself a lil rocket.....

Thats what I was initially thinking but the Cummins would be a bit of work and may be beyond my limited expertise. Will have to see though. Would need a solid axle swap as well, since the 4bt is around 700 pounds.

man I wana go back out there. gotta find a way to spend a week in Cali.
