Mall crawlers page let's see em

mall crawlin' plates up close with my brothers new camera phone

 

what exact color is that!

 

Baby steps!

Not sure I’m qualified yet!
Those Mall speed bumps are super tall.

 

nice scoop!
blazing blue

 

Ha.. you know you want a skewp!

 

Yeah that is a good one. You just don't see an impressive shade of blue like that on anything.

 

Finally!
I got my mall cert!


Thanks Pantera Steve for sending me my official certificate

 

I didn't know there was an achievement! I have to get in on this.

 

the bigger bump the better the reward!
and i have a doozie just down the street from me
once they put them back in that is
they just repaved a mile of road and took out all the 3 large bumps with one stop sign, its not even a school zone!
so for the time being i can make it down that street without having to slow down 4x !!!! just once for that 4way stop sign

 

i didn't think you took yours off the road!

 

Apparently, according to Pantera Steve, there’s also a advanced speed bump course.
Don’t think I’m advanced speed bump ready. I’d like to thank my wife, kids grandson, coworkers, but most of all Pantera Steve. Without his help I would have near reached this goal. Hopefully one day I can get a fully certified/verified Off Road to go along with my previously treasured
PAVEMENT PRINCESS Award.




Thanks again Pantera Steve. Even if you drive a FORD. We know it’s made by Italian automobile manufacturer
De Tomaso with a Ford 351 Cleveland slapped in it and it’s called a Ford.

 

i took mine to the mouth of an Iowa river that dumps into the mighty MO, that is pretty daring for me in my old age, had to wheel it on out of there.
going to try and rent a nice camera that takes hi def pics & videos to get back up there to prove to TW that i do wheel the mostly stock crawler!

 

but before i try getting certified i probably should get the skid plate painted or powdercoated (or a custom stainless one)
and the front suspension parts de-weathered from 2+ decades of midwest winters
i have been waiting to see if i need new parts put on but they still seem ok!

 

I just got the call from Toyota parts department. My Bolts I ordered have arrived. Lol. I ended using the original bolts that came with the 2016 off-road skid. Ha! Tree weeks late. Cleaned the original bolts and covered them in heavy propeller grease. I need to pick up still. Ordered the factory OEM bolts with washers and I was shocked under $3 each.

 

Ok, here you are...my mall crawler.

 

Ya, I know it's a 2nd Gen...but I did have a black AC 1st Gen for 10 years...
Cheers, Jeff
