Orange County CAF's: up to no good

That's cool

I know you can but 1985 is quite high priced & outta my price range, who knows maybe I'll find one by miracle....but just in case considering my options you know since 85 is the unique year

True, all this talk is more down the line you know. I was considering picking up a winch to help with self recovery but debating ont he justification & worried if I upgrade one thing I'll just sink into a pool of upgrades hahaha

 

Save money and buy a used 2nd Gen 4x4.
My 2 cents.

 

Do ett

Unique because of Back to the Future or is there something about the 85s I don't know about?

Are you talking a winch for the Taco you have now?

 

Get a high lift, a decent come along, and a tow rope. And learn how to use all three.

 

I'd decide what kind of wheeling I actually want to do, first. A truck built to do 70mph across the desert is very different from a rock crawler. Aim for both and you'll be terribad at both.

 

Thanks but pass

I'm sure you know 85 is the only year with both solid axle & the 22re which makes the price point higher. Who knows potentially if I was really to go that route. Also saw a firebird exactly like yours but black with gold rims, looked sharp

What's a come along? The high lift would be really nice but I would need sliders, although I'm considering attempting to make my own over the summer depending on how if I have any potential for welding to save a few bucks. I wouldnt trust my frame with a hi lift honestly

 

you tube them young padawan

 

Yaaa I'd prefer somewhere more in the middle. Like an overland or more so an adventure rig, able to take on some rock crawling when absolutely needed & able to get up to speed for some rare mild desert fun. Not really lookning to get extreme, although I would eventually like a cage to protect my passengers & myself to an extent

Will do obi wan , would it be master or sensai.... or something else lol

I don't know about that man. @4x4runner2002 has a sweet setup. He built his for rock crawling and shit like that but it can also handle desert extremely well. I rode with him in Anza at one point and he hauled ass

Not true my friend. 84 also had 22re and straight axle. 83 and older isn't bad though as you the only difference between the 22r and the 22re is one is carbureted and the other is EFI

Was it red and black like mine?

I would not do sliders as a beginner since your welds probably aren't gonna be as strong as other peoples. Last thing you want is to be stuck in a situation where you need them, come smashing down on them, break them, and fuck up your doors. Just my 2 cents

 

26 pages in 1 day? Wow! So much Bullshit. Hey! does anyone wanna wheel Big Bear next weekend?

 

That's awesome! Might have to go "borrow" my step dad's high lift from his Bronco

Thanks for posting that Chan

Wrong Firebird man. You're off by a few years. This guy would be more accurate for mine

 

Mudrunner not ready

TAmato...TOmato

 

Heck of a videa hahaha

Acutally looked up some info in last few minutes about it, as well as watched those videos. Definately an interesting combination, thanks for informing me

Sorry but that is where you are incorrect, the 22r existed but the 22re did not exist until 1885 models, also 1985 is the last year of solid axles. Not trying to call you out or anything but it's the truth
It was solid black

 

Gardner in a Jeep Comanche, never saw that before

 

No money?

 

I might be down.
