Anyone else done hells revenge in Moab in their 1st gen? I did this weekend and it was tons of fun!

 

Yee Haw

 

@des2mtn for us east cosaters not familiar with the West, where is that exactly?

 

Desert east of San Diego. First picture is at Superstition Mountain which is a big sandy mountain that's popular with OHVs. Second one is at the Salton Sea. They apparently used to use that old dock for naval testing in WWII.

 

@Casper421 what roof rack system did you use? I'm looking for something similar that holds kayaks but on the cab only.[/QUOTE]
Did you find something that worked?

 

My wife has dubbed my truck "the khaki cruiser". This is her In her natural environment.

 

Might have to search a little but I promise, she’s in the first one.

 

Looks good! What lift and tires are you running?

 

Rough Country 2.5" with 285/70 17 Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP.

 

Had to dig this one up just to let you know I still own the truck. Coming up on two months here. Big milestone.

 

Hows those tubular LA swells been lately?

 

I'm still amazed by how many 1st gens I see each time I drive. Salt hasn't killed a ton here.

This DC that passed us today was very clean.

 

There’s a few still up here, the frames are musty nasty on a lot.

I don’t see much of any trucks older than 2000 these days. All of the trucks fall victim, but there’s just soo many more domestics over the tundras that it makes the rust issue look worse. Yet I’ve had to condemn more chevies and fords that are getting traded in than Toyota’s. Lol

 

Love the countryside there!
That is a nice looking DC

 

Just one night on this trip.

 

My new to me 2005

 

Nice rig. That Airstream looks very clean also.

 

Went exploring in the family truckster...

 

Looks nice. How are the cv boots? I ask because it looks like that front end is close to maxed out at ride height. Unless there's a diff drop or drop brackets.

 

there are quite a few 1st gens I see daily around me. Most are on their last leg cosmetically with new frames, a few gems (rustbelt Maine)

 

Thanks. It's been a lot of work to get it there.

 

KarmaKannon, The former owner put the 3" spacer on the front end. I'm not a fan and the cv is at a lot steeper angle than I'd like. I'll either remover the spacer ( back end also has a lift block ) or look into drop brackets. I'd like to squeeze 305's in there so the lift might stay and I'll need 1&1/4 " spacers on the axles running the stock wheels.

 

Good thinking. Are you looking at about a 305/70/16 or 17"?
