We go in my friends jeep everyonce and a while, its alot of fun. I think its like a 99 cherokee or something like that. I wanna try out my new subaru too sometime this summer on some dirt stuff, nothing too hardcore cause it doesn't have the clearance, i think it'll be alot of fun though.

1998 Buick Century... rides 2 inches low on the drivers side due to flat tire. Only the drivers side windshield wiper works, and it was hit by a deer while parked in my driveway. It's a beast in the mud

94' Land Cruiser, full lockers, 33's, armor.

I love the look on people faces when this "soccermom car" crawls past their heavily modded jeeps.

ive got a '92 subaru legacy wagon, that thing rips(well it used to). took it out to local offraod trails and right at the begining of the trails there are 2 huge puddles, like 45ft long and 15 wide and about 5 ft deep in the middle, in a row with a little bump in between the 2.. well i got through them and went and played around in some mud and stuff but on the way back after the second puddle i got cought up on the bump and it ripped my wheel well out which then let water into the intake and fucked the engine over completely. i got a new engine for it but still havent swapped it with the fucked on.

I'm still deciding whether to sink money into this beast or just keep if for a year or so. For now I'm just doing standard maintenance stuff to her so she runs nice.

I'm hoping sometime to swap in a new rear on mine. I've heard good things about putting new tacoma rear axles with stock locker into older trucks and runners.

thats exactly what im doing.  i keep my axles, suspension, and steering from my old build so its wayyy cheaper for me to just buy a 2wd and SAS it.  think im gonna 4link the rear of the new truck right off the bat though.

yea the new taco rears are money with the e-locker.  I opted to go with an '89 rear end only 3in wider and use the full detriot locker i had cause i couldnt afford an e-locker at the time.

one other thing is depending on tire size and gearing i would be careful running the e-locker in the rear it wasnt meant to handle the severe abuse of all that.  lot of guys end up running the e-locker in the front for that reason.

I have a stock dakota that i like to have fun with in the woods, nothing serious tho. It would be sick to get a older chevy and lift it if i had money.

I've got an `89 cummins d250 I posted in another thread.  Had 35s on this summer.  No lift.  Got it stuck a few times.  Once the hood was completely under the mud.. that was fun.

care to explain?  my dad owned 2 while i was growing up but i wasnt really into wheeling then.  i dont like the offset rear diff, and the fact that they are seriously top heavy.  i did the land rover course up at the equinox in VT and wasnt very impressed.

ive got a 1999 chevy 1/2 ton 5.3l that i take out every now and then. lately i've been pretty broke, so other than redoing the exhaust (orange peelers with 4in dual pipes) its fairly stock except for some minor stuff like headlights, and sucht. Im debating wether I want to lift it or not, as my girlfriend and i use it to pull her horse trailer around alot, and on long days (1000+ miles) mud tires and lift aren't the greatest.

" This guy runs marlin crawler." i would assume that by saying this means he would be the guy who owns marlin crawler.. meaning he would be marlin czajkowski

yeah!! land cruisers are so awesome! they kill everything! my friends got a stock one and he's made it up stuff a heavily modded wrangler, my friends tacoma with almost 10 grand in mods, and tons of other jeeps and stuff couldnt do, and it just makes it that much better that it happens to be stock. ive got another friend with an 03 or 04 i think and even that is tough as hell, and it makes it up anything.
