How many of you have ever been 1:1 crawling/4wheeling?

[AdamF]

Just curious. Be thruthfull. It seems that there are a lot of people that have never crawled or 4wheeled a real 1:1 truck before. It usually shows in the way they design their R/C.

Yes! I've been into 1:1 rockcrawling for over 6 years. I had a Suzuki Samurai that I built from the ground up.... locked, geared and caged. I 'wheeled the crap out of it for years all over Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Arkansas and Oklahoma. I wanted bigger tires which would require more power and stronger drivetrain so I sold it after I had beaten it almost to death.

Disney, OK


Bought a stock solid axle, EFI Toyota last year. Collected parts all summer then spent the winter in the garage building it into this.

after:


Now it's got dual transfer cases, Detroit locked 4.88:1 diffs, Warn winch, 1/2 ton Chevy rear springs, 4" lift front springs, x-over steering, homemade flatbed and 36" Swamper IROK radials. I have taken the truck to Tellico NC and to the Windrock ORV park in TN since completing the build-up. Rode trails with Raptorman57 from this board earlier this year, he also has a Xcab Toyota.

We have another trip to Tellico planned for the 2nd weekend in October.

Here are some pics of the last two rigs. The TJ was a 4banger bought in 96' and had a 0000000**** 4digit serial # on the count of TJ's made.
The XJ was the first low buck rig I did. less than 10k with trailer.

[WHITE-TRASH]

Yup I just got done turning my 90 2x yota into a 4x a few months ago. Its dualled and lifted 3 3/4" with 38x12.5 tsl's on it. Lots of fun.

I used to go all the time! In the ultimate stocker! THE HUMMER. Not a freakin H2. Weve created a close group of friends that weve gathered through the HUMMER club.

Now when the group goes out to "Play" we do a mix of motorcycling and 4 wheeling. And a lot of screwing around and blowing stuff up.

I used to live at Schlein Ranger Station, about 1/2 mile from the Loon Lake entrance to the con. Good times!! My stepdad was the Ranger up there, so I got to ride along with just about everyone up there, it was great. I'm building a rig now but its slowwwww goin, Just waitin for more student loans

[roktoy]

I do a bit of rock crawling..........

[Clod_Master]

I've been wheeling once with an older friend. It was a full fledged trail ride. The fact is, I'm a city boy. My family isn't into wheeling, so there's no one to go with except for my friends. When we do go, it's at least an hour's drive to a decent trail. I used to look at Peterson's 4 Wheel & Offroad magazine all the time when I was younger. I love real rock crawlers, but it's a little hard to build one when your dad doesn't have Dana 60s and MIG welders laying around the garage. ;) Hence why I'm into RC.

[moonbuggy]

Every once in a while I go to glamis (sand dunes) in a 60's or 70's something cj-5 with 20"-25" wide paddles and a 383 stroker. A big v8 and straight pipes with the engine bouncing off the rev limiter is loud, to say the least.

[Mnster]

I've been waiting to take my lifted Nissan truck to Badlands offroad park. There is a large Nissan fourwheeling club in my area.

[snakeman]

Been wheeling for upwards of 16 years between dad and later myself doing the driving. I am operable 4x4 less right now, as my samurai is waiting for the right 1.6L, and trans rebuild, and toy axles to be put in. I'm also a member of an Oregon based club, Oregon Trail fourwheel drive assoc.

RSI, your bro does kick@$$ work, "streetzuki" is what I'm modeling mine after. Sweet talk him into helping, and the costs would be much much lower.
