Jamus 12-24-2006 07:46 PM

Wish I'd been into RC when I was stationed over there. What rims are you running and how narrow are they? I think thats the narrowest I've ever seen swamp dogs run on, and I like it.

AIPOHAKU 12-24-2006 07:51 PM

They are actually Kyosho 1.9 touring wheels with the inner bead cut off. Its about and inch wide...If you look at my Crawler Hauler thats the wheels and tires thats on here now...Just added some Run2jeepn rockslider rock rings!!!...I really like the look of the narrowed swamps too!!!

juggsterr 12-24-2006 07:56 PM

Aloha, this is Jeff "1BADJEEPBRUISER's" Stepdad, i helped out with the exocage. Nice to see it in Hawaii! My Dad lives there on Kauai. I will be there next Sept. for a couple of weeks. Last time we were there, we hooked up with some guys on Kauai that were dirt racing behind the golfcourse in Lahuie close to the airport. What island are you on? The 4 runner looks great keep up the good work"thumbsup" Maybe 1BAD will be over there soon in one of our timeshares:flipoff: :flipoff: YEA OK!!!!!

AIPOHAKU 12-26-2006 08:37 PM

:lol: :lol: That would be cool!!..YEah the exo is probably one of the main things that make it seem so "real"...I love it and alot of the homies here do too!!..HRCC members are all residents of O'ahu...but im from the Big Island. Although i am living here at the moment for school. If you guys come down dont forget the rigs!!!!

Damn dude, this thing keeps getting better and better. The new wheels looks GREAT.

I run BLKFT stubbies on mine, it gives it just the right width...The tires would tuck better with out them, but as Im sure you discovered, the only draw back with this thing is the COG and it can be top heavy so having the lil bit extra width makes a huge difference , here is the best stance shot I have of mine

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...h/100_1290.jpg

You can see the tires are still under the wells "thumbsup"

sleek6mt 02-07-2007 09:35 AM

for a minute though it was a 1:1 but i keep seeing legs in the backround ;)

looks awesome bro!!

AIPOHAKU 02-08-2007 03:41 AM

Thanks guys...I swapped the tobees for BLKFT stubs and now they sit perfect!!!...I also got a custom roof rack compliments of Young Version and another on the way!!!...Ill post pics soon!...Anyone got a snorkle?!?!?!?...LMK!
