it's so much fun! We went last year in the RZR's. Being that my Tacoma is stock, I'll probably just stick to RZR's there

Finally.
and when I say finally, I mean it.
The tailgate on the bed never worked. *because I’m a derp and didn’t allow room for it to open like a standard tailgate on a pickup. Oops but didn’t have the rtt yet anyway. So it never bothered me.
Well, couple bucks and some jeep parts (
) later, we have a swinging tailgate!
Oh, bought a fold up shelf for a jeep too, please don’t tell anyone about all these jeep parts
Holds a camp stove just right

Ka chow
Looks like a fun day.
Wheel bearing has left the chat
Remember, it’s only metal and money.
Remember, it’s only metal and money.
meh. My axle nut is seized on right now, but it’s totally my fault. I changed the cv (2 times in 30 minutes) there’s a video on that lol. But didn’t have a dust seal for the wheel bearing (got damaged when cv snapped) so that lead to corrosion and rust on the splines.
so a bit of heat and sledgy, it should come off easily.
if it wasn’t rusted on, very easy. Unbolt a few parts and pull it apart. Buying the whole assembly saves the pressing in bearing part

you're starting to sound like the guys on pirate4x4.com
Is that a good or bad thing lol
Neither. They're a bunch of build-it-from-the-frame with custom Dana 60's and 44 inch tire guys.
a little rough around the edges (which you are not), but frequently refer to hammers, welding, and major repairs and minor parts of their days.

haha I’m good with that. I remember pirate, but was never a member. I’ll randomly find a post from them.
I just never saw the value in taking my vehicles to a shop, I figured if they could do it, I can too. I learned a lot of lessons the hard way but with the help of practice and the military, I learned some lol.
Nothing better than putting something back together with limited parts/ supplies. Same goes with having all the tools and a bit of custom fab work (which I consider myself a newbie still)
Shoulda seen the guys face on the trail with the Subaru, when I said let’s bend it back and reset the bead. There was a guy in complete shock. He just couldn’t believe it lol
Very odd, coming from a guy driving a Subaru like a monster truck
oh that wasn’t me. But it was family lol
Oh yeah, no, I was referring to the guy, not you.
Hittin the road. Headed to Windrock park for ATR!
Drove there in the tacoma last year, but we’re gonna see what we can get into with the truck being trailered this year.

Blew the trans on the van 2 1/2 hours in. Of my 7 1/2 hour journey lol.
Snatched a uhaul and hit the road again. Running 2 hours behind.
mannnn. I’m telling you. I’m thinking about building an offroad trailer with the factory bed and throwing the rtt on it. Just trailering that lol.
What happened?Trail 15 at Windrock park claimed another 3.5.
Motor
Oil everywhere.
these motors suckkkk
@Tyler I broke a few things for you

White smoke
shut it off and waited for a little bit to restart. Restarted it and boom. Then it shut off.
crack in block
Fuck, man. When I said break stuff I didn’t really mean throw rods and crack blocks, but hats off to ya, lol.
So are you gonna have the first V8 or first Cummins 3rd Gen?
