Picture thread North Alabama Mod, Meet and Mud 11-12-11

Oh okay, ill have to ride up one weekend and check it out!

 

Yeah Justin, you would have enjoyed it. It was pretty dry and we could all play. If you had left your truck at my house, you would have ran back to get it after seeing David.

 

I want to try to do a meet where we can ride those trails. It would make for some pretty good wheeling! And there is a waterfall for anyone who wants to get crazy, its a tough little obstacle but fun!

Let me know and ill show you around. I know the area pretty well, been there more times than i can count.

 

I'll check out "The Lane" sometime beside my house and see what I can find down there.. After the recent wheeling stripes I'm starting to get more adventurous!

 

Heres a hill

Havent gotten any pictures of the waterfall yet. would anyone be interested in having a meet in bham and hitting up these trails?

 

Those look like fun!! I'm down!

 

I would come to watch and snap some pics, but i doubt my prerunner could do any of that until i get a locker.

 

The hard parts dont lead to anywhere. Its just climbing the hill and then coming back down. There are some fun dirt roads that are fun to pretend like your in baja and a couple easy creek crossings with some mud that would be fun.

 

That does sound like fun! I'm trying to figure out what kind of locker i need for my truck at the moment. I'll need to fugure that out before i can go deal searching.

Paul, does your v6 prerunner have the same ass end as my 4 banger? If so, what kind of locker did you get? Or, what do i need to be searching for for my truck? Or, if you're trading it in, how about making me a deal on the locker?

 

Paul has the standard 8" rear end. You might here ours considered a 8.4" cause it is actually stronger than the e-locker models! Only the TRD Offroads came with the 8" with the e-locker! So Paul doesn't even have a locker! He's straight 1 wheel wonder! (I think my numbers on that are correct)

Here is some more info on Rear ends and gear ratios!!

^^ This is an awesome website that will help you decide on what would be best for your application! This guy really knows his shit!

Let the research begin!

 

Thanks Kyle, Much appreciated!

 

im down parker!

 

the trd sports have a mechanical lsd, i have been told you can swap out the entire third member from these to a non lsd rear end but that is where my research ends

 

1.5 wheel wonder thank you.

 

yeah but if you add me pullin paul out of the mud then together we are a straight up 2.5 wheel wonder

 

so two tacoma's IS > than one. unless its a trd or and then it is a 3 wheel wonder

 

you forgot the > or equal to for a 4x4 Sport which would be 2.5.

 

>= ? hard to say one truck is worth more than two. Thus why I left it as just >

 

Yes, it is all based on flawed logic.

 

It's only 1.5 if you're on the road! As soon as you get a free wheel with the other slightly bound good by traction and hello free spin! Our LSD's are SHIT!!! I've never had good luck with my LSD.. That's why I want to go with a locker front and rear! But i'm broke now! So everything is on hold!
