LOOK at what a GREAT thing it was that you 'HAD THAT BUMPER MODIFIED!!! hahaha.... >>>>


front tire almost higher than the rear

Beautiful spot...... Bunch of cool rigs.... LOVE THE BLUE ONE!

Just brought the Pup, Toyo?

Who all went?

Sorry, just curious who all of them are.... Saw the kido's there runnin round having a blast!

Thanks for sharing, Sir!
trust me, from the last trip, that front tire was already rubbing bumper. that was why i had to chop chop lol. i am part of a off road group called NOLB 4x4. stands for No One Left Behind 4x4. we are a pretty huge group and constantly growing. the red runner, blue pick up and 83 pick up have been wheeling with me on the last few trips already. we got a awesome group. i think you need to go back and look at all my other trip photos lol. the pup has been with me on all my trips minus pismo because last year she went and didnt like it lol

the damage on the pass side door area and rear 1/4 panel are from my dad that turn into a building in a parking lot. i havent done any body damage on any trails yet. i did get a very small scratch on this last trip but it was on a spot that was a little dented anyways. all the rashes i gotten since i been off roading are on the front and rear axle, gas tank, front oem skid plate, front arb bumper and sliders but that is what they are for. now i added the rear bumper lol

Always enjoy your pics... It's a great rig, Toyo... I admire it's MOXIE! hahaha.

Got two or three more trips to pismo than in gonna start planning a custom rear bumper

Here is the last 100feet or so to the lake which you can opt not to take and park further back and walk down with your gear. I decided last minute to run it. Was pretty rough lol

yea the trail is very easy but its the last spot thats the hardest and most that do this trail dont run the last spot. you dont see any built rigs do this trail cuz its too easy and not really worth it for just the end lol.

Toyotech"you can handle crazy trails now, just need good spotters lol" He's not kidding if you do not have a good spotter don't go. A good spotter is more valuable than a built rig. Hey Toyo those are some great pics, I really like the ones of you coming over the rocks. They came out so clear, next time I'm giving you the camera so I can get into some of these pics.

auto is awesome for crawling. no need for dual cases at all. save much money. i know its far from being the same but still the same concept. most if not all buggies are automatic. they are just built to handle the higher hp engines that is used.

Jerry, with the 92 22RE PU, seems to LOVE his too! Only had one out of several of these yotas... 86 Turbo with a header... Thing did just fine off road. Just seemed to have around the same power I have now.. Cuz of the turbo helping out the auto I guess? I REALLY enjoyed driving that thing, but only had bought it to fix up for a buddy up in OR(brakes, fluids, paint, etc.)... But while I had it I really had fun with it. (would CONSTANTLY reach down for the clutch and trans stick though! haha)...

Toyo... working where you do... do you hear/know of any factoids/ regarding that the V6 Auto trans(which was completely different than the 22RE Auto predecessors) being a lot stronger trans than the 2.4 Auto's?
