Indiana sign in

Time to get another. I went way too long between trucks, but the new one is a real garage queen.

 

HAHAHA.

I still have a 3rd gen 4Runner that I'm working on fixin' up. Maintenance items first, then some goodies.

Currently needs:

Alternator
Battery (due to the alternator)
Suspension (nothing crazy, I don't think.) including CO's, springs in rear, bushings etc.
New headlight lenses (glass, thank goodness. Gonna have some fun here)
New struts for the back hatch
Tires (gonna have some fun here too)
Needs a good detail as well.
Exhaust. Ever since we got the damn thing, the exhaust has been loud. Like, stupid loud. Same with the intake. Gotta quiet this down somehow. I'm thinking new catalytic converters and muffler with new pipe all the way back from the header. May need new headers too.
That's about it really. May run a dual battery set-up for fail safes. Would like to do bumpers and all that too but, the boss lady doesn't see the purpose.

 

2nd gen cclb Warsaw area an travel to Richmond several times a month. Would love to get together an drive some trails.
Looking for 17" FJ steel wheels if any one has some they want to let go of.

 

Where do you go offroading at? I'd love to go to Badlands sometime.

It's hard to get people to go. Had an event planned about a month ago where 8-10 people were confirmed. Day of the event, I was the only one that showed up. Come to find out the organizer of that event that cancelled due to work obligations was ordering wheels at a local 4x4 shop the afternoon/night of the event. Go figure.

Pretty typical of this area lately for the past year or so. If we can get people to actually commit and show up, it's pretty fun. If not, it sucks.

 

ok team, new to the indiana check. im in owen county 07 DCSB. taking my truck in to terre haute toyota next week for a frame inspection. dont trust royal in bloomington. any words of advise or experience in terre haute? thanks

 

We were plagued with rain outs this entire year. Looking to do interlake when the weather cooperates..

 

I would like to try to make a meet. I work every weekend and never have my days off back to back. I would need atleast a month in advance to request days off and even then, it could be denied. Work makes the wheels keep turning...

 

terre haute toyo. they are ok. what date next week ? Monday I might be out there to get some parts.

 

Friday AM. Bloomington royal had the frame coated. I don’t trust them. Didn’t remove any of the scale before coating and found a 2-3 inch area that’s now a hole by the drivers side cat-converter. Hoping they replace the frame

 

yeah, a hole equals replacement.

 

You sound like a frito lay otr driver.

 

I haven’t been out for awhile. Badlands got boring really quick. Everything decent is about 4 hrs away.

Haspin acres was ok except for all the garbage, Interlakes was decent, Red Robin is ok, Rish Kentucky is one of my favorites, Windroxk down by Knoxville Tennessee was a really good time. I spent a week down there with the land cruisers.

 

RUSH KY,,, not Rish.

 

That is a common theme around IL/IN. I also agree that Badlands can get really tame/boring after a few times. Shoot me your info, we are going out west this upcoming year maybe you'd like to join?

 

"Hangover ride" at Haspin Acres on new years day. Not a big fan of the place but close and there's a good group headed there. Anyone interested please post here. I'll pass along the meet up times, etc....as we get closer

 

If I can get work to be agreeable thinking about going out to Badlands for a little bit on Sunday.
Anyone else interested in going?

 

Let me check tomorrow to see what I have going on. I might be able too.

 

time? my need to break in 4x4 and crawler for the winter.

 

in badlands do I need to remove the mudflaps?
