To Come:

Well, I own a 1984 solid axle Toyota 4Runner whom I have affectionately named "Clyde". I got her about 2 years ago and haven't done much with her, but all that is about to change.

You may wonder why "she" is named "Clyde". Well I am big into horses. Clydesdales are a tank of a horse. She is a tank of a truck. Therefore "Clyde".

Tomorrow night I will be adding a front and rear third member to her that is equipped with 5.29 gears, lock-rite lockers and then redoing my front trunion seals. And of course putting her on 35" tires. Keep an eye out for pictures!

Well this weekend was pretty jam packed. Darryl had his girls this weekend, so thats an adventure in and of itself! Friday night we just hung around and watched a movie and had spaghetti for dinner. Saturday we ended up doing the Coors tour, climbing a rock wall and having a late dinner. Sunday we went to the water park down the street and then had a nice dinner before the girls went home. Then Sunday evening Darryl and I went wheeling.

I ended up breaking the FJ bad enough it will be parked for awhile till I can re-do the suspension with the aid of my boss. We are going to totally redesign it and make it alot stronger so I don't have this problem again. So now I am driving the 4runner daily. This coming saturday it will be getting new gears, lockers and 35" tires. So it will look alot cooler, and perform ALOT better offroad too.

This week has been dragging by, unfortunately. I need a vacation bad I think. No rest for the weary though. Anyways, I've gotta go.

Hope you are doing well!

We went to Boulder Carnage/Lefthand Canyon for a night run with a group of friends on 8/24/2008. We had 7 Toyota's on the run. It was a nice evening, and we all were in the mindset of pushing our rigs to the extreme, and when the night was over, it showed. 3 of us tried Guardian rock, most of us tried the harder lines on everything, and all in all had a good time. One of the guys had bought a new cab and bed for his truck and this was the last time wheeling it with the "old" stuff, so decided it would be fun to flop the truck (well, more like a friend decided it would be fun). When the truck owner didn't get it to flop, his friend did it for him. One of the Taco's busted a CV axle and got some dents. Another taco dented in the cab above the rear window. And Una's FJ really got hammered with a now "L" shaped lower control arm in the rear (when it should be straight), ripped out rear shocks and sheared off the swaybar link, not to mention her passenger side is pushed in even further. Everyone drove home though, so thats always a bonus. Not a bad run for the "last" run at Boulder Carnage before they close it. Check out the pictures and enjoy!
