BIG ISLAND HI Thread

old pic, but hello.

 

Looking for a set of 20x12 weld Cheyenne’s 6x5.5 if anyone knows who mite have a set on big island lmk

 

anyone on big island have a 6sp manual transmission 4x4 05-15

 

Anyone know where I can go to get a cab mount chop? Preferably on Hilo side.

Also, if anyone's interested. I have a MBRP muffler 3" inlet (new) and a Black Widow muffler 3" inlet (used about 500 miles) for sale.

 

Get ahold of chris Santos from persition small engine repair located next to moto worx in hilo. He's the man for the cab mount.

 

You’re going to have to post photos with the parts off the truck, otherwise you’ll get the boot. Plus, I believe there’s a minimum post rule, too, to be allowed to sell, and you’re only at 47.

 

Anyone know anyone that builds sliders here on BI?

 

Sup guys. Been wanting to grab a rtt for a while now but I’m not sure how the freight shipping works. I haven’t bought anything that size online anymore. Does anyone know how the whole process works?

 

Howzit, Anyone know how feasible it is to wheel the makalawena trail on a stock 3rd gen OR?

Or the green sands trail?

Tips for any? Lol

 

It's doable, personally I will not be doing it again unless camping. If you're just going to the beach walk from Mahai'ula, it'll be quicker!

Green sands is on the list to do...

We went up Skyline rd (off of R1) and then up a no name trail the other week, pretty damn awesome up there 11,600ft.

 

Nice to see another stock Taco wheelin it on BI. Seems like we're in the minority. Is it true the worst part of the makalawena trail that giant drop at the beginning?

 

Yeah considering the number of tacos over here this thread is dead quiet.

I’m a dclb and made it, pick the line and wait for potential contact. I messed up the wind deflector aka skid plate further down the trail. A 2” lift would make life a lot easier. It’s not an enjoyable trail to drive, if u care about your truck u have to keep getting out to check your line.

Highly recommend R1 http://www.instanthawaii.com/cgi-bin/hawaii?Drives.ur

 

Green sands should be no problem stock. As far as tips; don’t worry about which routes to take they all go to the same place

 

I haven't been out there in years. Didn't they pave a parking lot? I was under the impression you could now make it with a slammed civic.

 

Green sands is fine stock. Sometimes there is a few deep sections but choose your path wisely. Some are pretty deep.

 

Definitely learned this on the first attempt, must've taken wrong turns (went left a lot at the forks, going away from the ocean) because we came up on this one dip where I doubt even the monsters on 40s could make. Just gave up and turned around.

What do you think of makalawena on stock?

 

it's understandable considering most of em never make it offroad or never sees more than the grass/dirt road leading to the fishing spot n the mauna

Will def check out R1! If you had to pick, would you do R1 or the Mana Rd drive?

 

Anyone got a front air dam for 3rd gen they don't want anymore?

 

Let me look in the attic 2mrw, if it’s there you can have it…

 

Awesome, no rush!
