I used to 'wheel frequently. Toystory_4wd= TOYota STORY 4-wheel-drive Had a webpage dedicated to our exploits in an '88 4Runner. At other points, we ran a 1990YJ and a 1973 Bronco 1/2 cab.

Pics? Man, I'd have to really dig...

On the back page of Petersen's 4 Wheel and Off Road magazine, the feature monthly "Whoops!" pictures. I once submitted a pic and a long story about a mishap, and they gave me the entire back page! They only edited out one paragraph, I was amazed! Thanks again, Tori Tellem!

Glad to see there are people who actually go mudding rather than the rednecks around here that put big tires and lift kits on their truck and then drive around with little mud splatters around their wheel wells (that 'just got back from hardcore muddin')

I love mudding but right the kart is the only thing I can afford to build and keep running it... A pic of my old purple eater with my ex

here was my big truck before i parted it out to build the new one. i don't think i got any pics of it wheelin on this computer though. after i parted it out i lifted the black diesel that was pulling the trailer.ill throw out a few randoms from over the years of my trucks..... btw sorry for all the pics i just have a lot, most of them suck because i don't get out to take pictures much so i have to rely on others to send them to me.



the white dodge is on 38.5 boggers in this pic, at the time my ford on the left was on 40" ground hawgs. later went to 44" cut boggers then to 47" r2 tractor tires




oh and my cart on 44's....

Yea, big trucks don't overly float my boat, still pretty neat. A 400 ton fully hydraulic digger is where its at.

All this gear is at the Rotowaro open cast coal, compared to their underground one.

Haha we have an old Toyota Hilux 2.8l 4WD that is a hack. Hauling a trailer at about two ton up a wild as track. I have some photos somewhere.

@Sexyvicta. I live in Glenbrook, looking at the steel mill from our living room. This is all at Rotowaro, just west of Huntly.

Heres a few of my rigs.
In order;

My daily driver, 86' toyota pickup 22r 5spd, only 109k miles cant kill the **** thing if i tried. 31x10.5 wrangler authoritys no lift..yet


My lifted subaru, 2.2 5spd with a ghetto 2" susp lift and some 30x9.5 cooper discovers, custom ghetto stack out the hood. only got to drive it a few times, also killed in the flood. Was rolled 7 times into a tree before i got it.


Same daily driver next to my lifted yota, exact same truck with 10" of lift and some 33s. unfortunately it was destroyed in the recent vt flooding, saved the susp. lift though, so that will be going on the daily driver soon, along with a chevy 4.3
