Here is a shot of my 72 on Die Hard trail in Arizona.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Welcome to the site!! Great pic, sweet rig. :metal:
Those rear quarters look suspiciously non-Chevy. Landcruiser...?
OK by me, I appreciate the ingenuity. :cool:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Thanks, I tubed the back half and skinned it with sheet aluminum. The stock sheet metal took some serious abuse following the narrower jeeps and tube buggys so I finally just cut it off and narrowed the back by about 9" on each side.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Here are a couple shots of the work I did. The first shows the tube work and the second is just after I skinned it and it shows how narrow the rear is.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Dang! Now that's what I call stuck!

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Does "urban" wheeling count? :hm:

Checking clearance on my new rock sliders.

Top of the concrete block is 52" in case anybody cares. :D

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

For those of you out there like me who might be finding yourselves a little tired of the summer heat (we're going on several days in a row over 100) here's a couple old shots to help you get through...:rolleyes:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

How about a "getting" ready for Action pic? :lol:

Rausch Creek tomorrow.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Trailer queen eh? :jest:

Just kidding, mine would be too. If I could afford a trailer..... One day.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

That poor little Subaru needed better offroad prep. :lol:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

It wont be much longer before it starts to rain so I can go to the off road park, raise hell & photograph it! I'm jones'n. :)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

I want to hit that up with you when I get back over to school at U of I starting second semester. Looks like a neat place to go.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

johnnywagon aka picture whore :lol: Cool pics everyone. Can't wait till mine is done and get some pics up here!

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Hell yeah, send me a PM when you're ready. :)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Damn straight! :metal: Here are the 1st official pix from the picture whore this season. Still to dry & dusty but I'm tired of waiting for rain.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Your always going 'up'...how do you do that? :hmm: :lol:

Leaving for Rausch in the morning, I should have something to post on the return.
(I better, right?)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Here's MORE PIX!! :metal: from the :aw: :rolleyes:9-30-07. Its still not wet enough. Sand sucks! My big heavy truck w/lockers front & back will slowly dig itself in if I'm not carefull.....need more rain.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Oh yea, some "downhill" shots for VT! :)
BTW. How 'bout someone else contribute to the "action"??

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Back tires aren't even lifting off yet...:rolleyes: :hm:

Only wish pics would convey how steep thing's really are.

Couple shots from the last trip to Rausch Creek.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Quote "VTBLAZER": Only wish pics would convey how steep thing's really are.

Yea, The "nosedown" shots were actually a LOT steeper than the pix show. For one, I was by myself and had to stop and get out to take the pix. The truck wouldnt stay in the steepest spot...even in park it would just slide down the sand. I actually had to shut it off a coulple times because of no oil pressure. It was so steep I could have stood up straight on the back of the rear seat and looked out the rear hatch.
:)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

That's gotta suck having to kill the power and lose your power assist. Guess you don't have much choice though.

Sure wish I could contribute some pics but no where around here to have fun like that unfortunately!

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Hey Boys :metal:
Nothing new from me until Turkey week. The family and I will be heading to our annual Pismo Dunes for a week at the condo on the beach :metal:
I can't wait this will be year 11 in a row and first time on the dunes with the 1Ton setup...
Thanks for the new pics! :metal:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Wow, busy weekend. Worked 1/2 day Saturday morning, made the 240 mile round trip to the Moyie Mud Bog (see other thread). Sunday watched my Seahawks get destroyed by the Steelers, then spent 5 hours at the off-road park. :)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

All the twisting and side hilling took its toll. I broke BOTH front HD lift shackles. The drivers side sheared and bent one bolt and the H-beam welds all failed, coming completely apart. I jacked it up and stuck a 2x4 in there just to get it home without banging on the frame. The passenger side is twisted and cracked pretty bad, one bolt is broke but still in and holding. It definitely made for a slow, interesting drive home.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Oooops!
Glad you made it back safe!
I'll get my rig up that way one of thease years, my bro-inlaw lives in the Portland area and he has been razzin me to go wheeling with his fire crew/dept.

Hell yea! Portland's only a 6 hour drive (w/trailer) away. I'll do my best to be a good host my friend. :) That goes for anyone who wants to come visit our off-road park. I would love to have the chance to go wheelin' with you guys. I'm getting kinda tired of all the local POSER"S!!! who park at the mudpit and watch. Yea, you know who you are. Calling you out! :lol:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

hahhaah LOL :metal:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Put my new homemade front shackles to the test this weekend. 10-21-07. :)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Spent a lot of time pulling out stuck and broke trucks. One poor guy was giving a Ford Extended Cab Diesel a "test drive" and punched a hole in his oil filter. No pix though, who wants to see a Ferd here anyway :lol:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

OOPS. Not the 1st (or last) time I've done this. ;)

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

NIce!
What is it with that rear corner? I too seam to hit that spot more than any part of my body :crazy:
Thanks for the pics :metal:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

Great pics Psycho 86! Your granddaughter looks like she is having a blast.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix
 

Reproduced my favorite ''poser" shot last weekend. Hopefully my buddies real action shots turned out.....wait and see. We were having a good time up until the transfer case shifter pivot bolt sheared off. Its always something. :)
