I can't wheel my Toyota where I live so I got into bikes to get my dirt and rock fix. The kid selling it was in college and needed the money, which is why I got it that cheap. I can't imagine how awesome your MTB scene is there. I enjoy pictures of Canada a lot. I love -16 weather personally.
Wow, the difference in proportion is pretty funny. I've parked my 4Runner next to a lifted suburban before and it probably looked something like this.
Unfortunately, I live in NE Ohio rather than Canada. There's some ok trails to bike but very few places to 4x4 that I'm aware of unless make a course on your property, which some people do.
I told him my truck can go anywhere his goes and he said "well if you take it on the interstate you're right" lol. I don't know why I thought you were in Canada. I get mixed up a lot.
Nothing against your co-worker, but stuff like that Punisher logo grille screams mall crawler-only. Also, you'd need one big ass trail to even fit that thing on.

Oh he knows. This guy builds Honda 4 wheelers and wheels those instead. There are no trails here. Just a few ATV parks. That truck is fun to ride in though. It's extremely gaudy lol.
I used to love going out to the mud pit and run circles around those knuckleheads in the full size trucks with all their aftermarket stuff. They never understood there was a reason the military uses tall skinny tires instead of the baloons they had on their rigs.

Fair enough. I got to tool around in an '01 Ram 2500 5.9 diesel with a mild lift through some snow and it was a blast. Got back in my yota and it felt like a very small car.
I don't even wheel myself. The best reason I can justify owning an old solid axle truck is to climb up to some great parts of the Nantahala in WV and get to hike stuff that some people just can't access.

Lol yep, when I get new 33s for the 85 they'll definitely be 33/10.50/15s or maybe I'll run 235/85/16s.. I know you can get 34/10.50/15 TSLs but I don't want to know how much those cost
Agreed, but which one: NC or WV? Personally I'd trade Ohio for either state but family comes first. Yup, even in-laws...
Both in my book. I've been lucky enough to stay near the Cherohala Skyway twice a year for quite some time for motorcycle therapy lol. Sorry for jackin your thread Bootscoot
Alright. I traded a Weber 32 36 for a 2WD truck that I sold my buddy a while back. It has a bad head gasket or the timing chain has eaten through the cover. I don't really know or care, it's got 300,XXX no maintenance miles on it and it's just a wore out 22R. I am pondering whether or not I should steal the rust free, no repair cab off of it and put it on my 85 instead of ATTEMPTING to use the damaged white cab from my other truck, or pull the 85s engine (it PURRRRRSSSS) and drop it into the 2WD to use as as DD. (gas mileage). If I go with the latter, the red truck will be closer to the grave and I could rob the axles from it and put them under my 84 with a set of 33s. Do I really need two 4x4s? I am leaning towards having a lifted 4x4 on 33s and a 2WD to go anywhere I want in. I would be doing the timing and the head gasket on the good engine I have for it while it's out just to know 100℅ what I have. Good grief. I have too many options.
Dropped most of my savings on a taco. Best trucks Toyota ever built in my opinion. I'm the second owner at 256,000 miles lol. My 97 had more than that though. I'm considering selling all of my 4x4s and putting the money back into my savings. Not sure though. Just at a point where I'm thinking about what I want vs what I need.
