<<< SO-CAL OFF ROAD EXPO >>> OCTOBER 8th-9th

pics or i dont believe you...lol

3.0 is a big shock... i'm surprised that it can fit in the upper arm with no contact

 

more pics, less words

 

I linked pix in this thread before its the tan truck.... and I don't have any pix of his raptor but ill be sure to get some he's giving me 4:88s and 315 bfgs for me truck can't wait he got a whole new axel setup for the taco

Well I was at the expo yesterday it was sick! Picked up a reciver shackle thing for my truck since I seem to get stuck a lot haha lol

 

...

What truck is that?! Haven't seen a kit like that on 2nd Gen Tacoma yet (Unless it's a front end conversion), very nice

Details man, Details!!!!!!

 

^ lol yeah Kyle posted pics in the bs thread a couple months back, hold up i think i saved them

 

Boom. these are the only pics i have

 

oh yeah... that truck.

those dont look like 3.0 shocks though... the coils are def bigger than 3" (which is the normal diameter coil on a 2.5 shock)

the coils look like the are 3.5", but the shock body looks to be 2.5" on the CO and all the bypasses... yeah or no?

 

oh, i dont know

 

nice

 

Was much bigger and better than the 2009 show (the last one we attended)! Still not as big as 2008 and earlier... the glory years where we had more money to circulate!

Today, we rode up with Josh as he had to retrieve the Ford Raptor Luxury PreRunner that was on display at the Dirt Sports Magazine section in building 6.

Our ride to the expo.

Once inside, lots to see in 3 buildings and outside...










Josh, one of the team at Stewart's RaceWorks that built the Raptors for TSCO.





After the show, we got to ride in it out to the parking lot where it was loaded on the trailer...

To Be Continued...

 

A combination of extreme 4WD rigs, Off Road Racers, Ultimate camping equipment was all on display.

To Be Continues...

 

A 2012 Baja Tacoma, already turned into a race truck!



If you gotta go, but can't stop:




This was super cool... the last time I saw this Mickey Thompson racer was at the 1975 Baja Internacional (500) in Valle de Trinidad, when Mickey and Danny pitted right by my Jeep...






Yup, it is a Chevy LUV with a 454 V-8 in the bed, and an Olds front wheel drive reversed for the rear!






June, 1975:



Mickey (standing) and Danny is checking the tire.

Josh and his mom (Baja Angel)



Show's over... Time to move the Raptor!





Way cool to be behind the wheel of a Half Million Dollar machine!



It is a three seater... and Elizabeth lets me ride in front (no, I didn't drive it out of the building).

Thanks Josh, very cool!


Under the front.


The rear... spool differential (always locked)... tires chirp turning on pavement.






Brake calipers with thermometers!

A great and fun afternoon with Josh and mi esposa at the 2011 Off Road Expo!

 

hey did you and whippersnapper get together talk about Atrac???

 

There isn't anything to talk about... I use mine and it works great. I think Christian was there Saturday, anyway. The expo was much bigger than 2009 when I was last there, and finding others in a crowd wouldn't be easy.

 

Here is Part 5 video of making the Raptors at RaceWorks, featuring Josh, and then running them at Plaster City:
