Fully polished TuRD

The last time I was there for MardiKrawl, it was bone dry. I’m talking miserably dusty.

 

@JBTacoma what all trails did you run? I’m still somewhat limited with my current setup, but it’s enough to run Maverick. @slander not trying to hijack your thread.

 

Sounds like Harlan!

I was thinking this but now that I think about it, every park except aop is wet when I go.

 

Good point lol.

 

Aop just has excellent draining haha.

 

Must be it!!

Goddamn I want to go wheeling. I'm tempted to go to Harlan next weekend for a hardlinecrawlers forum ride, but it will mostly be buggies and bouncers, however I don't want to totally destroy my junk before some fall wheeling.

 

I think Hawk Pride is my favorite so far. I’m hoping to squeeze in one more trip before baby #2 if the boss will let me.

 

Something went funky on my DD 2003 avalons front suspension. It's been making a horrid sqwealing sound out of the front driver's side wheel when slightly turning left or right that morphed into all the time. Checked the wheel bearing and looked at the front tires and the inside tread on both of them are worn bald, fawk. So it has the original 2003 struts, so im going to replace those, and a dragging caliper and see if that makes everything happy, then get some new tires on it.

So what does that have to do with the Tacoma? Well that's cutting into the funding. Saying that I'm going to call and schedule a time to get me new frame rails measured and bent up, possibly even this upcoming weekend if they can get me in. I am also going to start buying up parts for the rear frame work pretty soon here, especially the air bumps since those seem to always be delayed. So looks like the truck has went from toy/drive it when it's nice to I need to keep it in one piece until I get the Avalon back working Incase my wife has to use the Camry to go on a business trip AGAIN.

I also got my front hub clutch assembly reassembled properly. I should be good to go for wheeling in a few weeks.

 

Got a new welding "mask" for the trail welder. Auto darkening for $24 off Amazon, score!!

 

I feel like that is going to be used this month....

 

Went wheeling at hawk pride in Alabama with the TN TW guys. Awesome trip, that was my first time there and I love that park already. Huge sandstone boulders, on level or slightly uphill terrain, basically what my truck was setup for. Tacoma worked great as usual, ran all the hard trails and got me home! This will probably be my last trip before the cutting starts. I fucked up my passenger rear leaf spring pretty good, sits a few inches lower on that side.


My knee hit my led light switch, I'm actually embarrassed by this photo, as I look like a douche wheeling with pod lights on in bright ass daylight.

 

Haha whatever, you probably turned your lights on to show them off for the gram. Desert bro that you are. Bet you have a loyalty card at Baja Designs.

I think Hawk pride is my favorite. I love flat crawling like that. Especially the creek bed parts. Can focus and enjoy a lot more without standing on the damn brakes the whole time haha

 

Does the silver 4 door have rear steer or is it jacked up? Something just looks off there.

 

Weird photo angle, the front end is in a bit of a ditch as well.

@Robertocritser doesn't have rear steer, just the exploding front CV mod on his ATM6969 420 series.

 

A few more pics

 

Dang this trail looks fun! Awesome pics!

 

They are all like that, highly recommend going after you get your crawl box in!
