    Looks like a fun trip. That 93 looks stock. Did you tell them to join tw?

    Yup! @Karazi TEQ just joined. I don't think it's completely stock (think he has some kind of full-time locked rear end, can't remember if it's a locker or welded). It was cool having a pre-Tacoma in the mix though, we had all generations of Toyota pickups from 93 on up in our group lol

    There's a first time for everything lol, same thing happened to me last weekend at our Cleghorn run. @quetzal was in front of me and his truck was practically doing a headstand, I would've snapped a photo of it if I wasn't so freaked out in that moment :eek:

    It did okay, I haven't been in many trucks off-road other than a jeep. So I can't judge well.

    Well you made a smart upgrade :thumbsup:

    Other than the locker what else has been done to the truck?

    No
    No I never owned a jeep, just rode in my friends JK on some light trails. I think the prior owner put some stronger springs on it, so the truck is a little lifted. About the locker, we were guessing it's welded, because the rear tires skid a lot around corners and the guy I bought the truck from didn't know a lot about it he used it for construction.

    Ah ok. Yeah that does sound like its welded. If I'm not mistaken that's really bad for the differential when you make those corners. Could be wrong though

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    You're correct my friend! It was a nice little truck in real good shape, too. Welcome to the club, @Karazi TEQ! Glad we could help you outta that tight spot, unfortunate we didn't get many pictures scaling that drop off, haha.
