Looking for Off Roading Pics!

jacksonpt · Mar 2, 2005

is it going to be vehicle specific? Regional? any details?

I've got a ton of pics on my site... feel free to check them out. Take whatever you want, all I ask is that you let me know which pics you are using. I'd also like to check out the final version of the site when you are done. Oh, and please, only use pics of my truck (the black 4Runner). The pics are all mine, but I don't want anyone else's rig showing up on websites without their respective owner's permission.

Here are a few sample pics...

Ps. Hi Gecko!! Long time no see around here!!

Now that all the off-roaders are rounded up, I can start picking you brains. Why do off-roaders look for solid axles front and rear? Is this really only for rock crawlers?

thanks

Sweet truck man!

Thanks. It's my starter rig. Some day I hope to have an FJ40 from the mid to late 70s - 38s, dual lockers, split case :drool:

Most real trucks still have solid rear axles, so that's not a big issue for most people. The solid front axle can be hard to find though (on newer trucks). A solid front axle is generally easier to lift if you want to go higher than just a few inches, it's generally stronger than IFS, and it flexes better because the suspension/axle is more independant of the frame.

The flex is what most people are after - the other benefits are usually secondary.

(Also will be looking for mods eventually, let me know if you might be interested.)

definitely. I'm on 2 truck/off-road bbs right now, ones doesn't get much traffic, the other seems mainly concerned with gas mileage issues of late, so I'm definitely looking for someplace new to hang out.

Feel free to let me know if you need any help with development or testing or anything like that.

Feel free to use any and be sure to post a link to the site here so I can visit when you are done. Good Luck!

In one of the pics you had an orange flag on your rig - was that Paragon? That's where I do most of my wheeling... you go there much?

Jou · Mar 2, 2005

Best i can do for now:

I used to have one where i went up a ravine of rocks and it got tipped on it's ass and the hood caught some rocks keeping it from rolling.

How is driving down the middle of a creek, stirring up silt, crushing fish eggs, dripping tranny fluid, diff. fluid, gas, and or crankcase oil and generally destroying the watery environment treading lightly?

Lame :thumb:

Just some general mischief in areas w/poor drainage and/or interesting topography (WARNING: sorry about the popups. . . .the site is free):

You have permission to use the Trooper only, but I can get you permission on the others if you wanna use 'em.

luken8r · Mar 2, 2005

HAHAHA thank you for the laugh profro. I don't think its possible to mud "lightly", hell even 4wheelers have completaly destroyed many parts around here.

Yeah, It's a Paragon Flag but no that wasn't where we were. I still had the flag on the CB antenna from the previous trip. That was at a place called Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, It's actually not too far from Paragon. I have been to both Paragon and Rausch Creek only twice. Both places are incredible, although I think I liked Paragon better cause you can mountain bike there. I haven't done it but I think it would be cool. I have also been to the Pine Barrens down in NJ. Cool place and great for beginners.

I have only been able to go wheeling like once a year which sucks. There is no legal places to ride in NY so whenever I go it's a roadtrip. I think I am going to give up the four wheeling for now and focus on biking. Just bought a Trek Diesel and I am planning to do some DH'in this year. Hopefully in the future when I have more time and $$$ I can look into building up a really nice 4x4 and do some serious wheeling.

Really like your 4runner too, it looks bad ass! Always loved those tricked out and lifted. Is that an ARB on the front or is it from another company? Here is a link to my weblog, It's got a bunch of links to info you may all find useful.

Sorry it hasn't been updated in a while. I have been busy with work, a new house, my family, oh and my new bike. :evil:

jacksonpt · Mar 3, 2005

I've never been to Rauch Creek, but I'm hoping to get there this year - I've heard lots of good stuff about it. I really want to take my bike down to Paragon, but can never find anyone to go with me.

The bumper is very similar to the ARB, just from a competing company - TJM. Just as strong as the ARB, but the mounting is much simpler (direct bolt on while the ARB required cutting the frame rails). I also like the aesthetics better on the TJM.

johnnyru · Mar 3, 2005

Rausch Creek is definatley worth a trip, they have some tough obstacles and rock gardens. Check it out... http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/

Gimme a shout the next time you want to go to Paragon, I would love to go biking there. There has to be somebody on this board that would go.

Yeah TJM has great products, they are an awesome company. Looks great!

jacksonpt · Mar 3, 2005

nice

Jou · Mar 3, 2005

Looks good, but i'll probably never visit it, pirate for hard questions, and PS for easier ones that i don't want to get flamed for.
