Smile 4X4 Action Pix

Seemed like a good time to start a new thread with some 4x4's in action. Here's me & mine at 7-mile off-road park in Spokane, Wa. on Halloween weekend. Hopefully more next weekend. Lets see some others too!

Yeah, the center console dumped everything in my lap when she fell into this hole. I added another pic...had to touch it up a bit, its been lightened up to show the terrain Im about to drop into.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

Good day for wheeling by the looks.
Great pics, like the yellow, it really stands out.

Went out last week and found/played on a wicked muddy hill climb but we had no camera with us.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

Hit the off-road park 2 weeks in a row Here's a few shots from 11-6-06. I know some might look like poser shots but my 6 year old isnt too handy with the camera so occasionally I had to stop and get out to get these shots.

Previous owner was a Bondo loving bodyman. Havent you ever seen an "EVROLET"? I have a large stick-on metal chevrolet tailgate emblem off a newer truck that is supposed to cover the old logo. Does anyone know how to get the thick sticky backing off of it without destroying it?

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

These are a couple of shots I took over the summer at Raglan, Ontario. We were talking with these guys afterwards and they told us they were "company cars".

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

he should have kept going till it said "rolet"

on the tailgate band-- the sticky crap comes off best with a razor blade or sometimes Acrysol will loosen up the stickyness and you can peel it off. i had to get it all off mine when this happened:

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

How does that thing steer offroad without crossover steering? The few times I wheeled my 72 it was a real pain. Im springing for crossover before I see dirt again.

Re: 4X4 Action Pix

No crossover steering makes for some challenging situations, it is a constant struggle. I've been talking w/another member: "Critter" on the 69-72 Blazers/Jimmys forum section under the thread "6 Inch Lift" about what probs I have dealt with. My Dana 44 has the wrong knuckles for crossover so I'm gonna beat on it all winter to see if it holds up. Then I'll decide if I want to keep the Dana 44 and swap knuckles or try to find a Dana 60 before I do the crossover. Thanks for asking. ~John
