pauls offroad pauls offroad welcome to paul s offroad i m just your average wheeler with your average wheelin rig and a few pics and stories to tell like most of you feel free to check out my 4runner and some of my trips adventures that i ve been on tuesday march 29 2011 the new family hauler ok so i know this is purely a bolt on baby and it will never likely go offroad but its my first opportunity to do a build post so here ya go we recently purchased a 2002 toyota 4runner limited to use as jennifer s daily driver its in great condition but woefully stock and lame looking something had to be done here is how it looked when we bought it nice and clean new leather 65 000 miles i ordered up some height adjustable bilsteins for the front ome springs for the rear and some spacers for the front as well sorry about the pic quality it took them with my cell phone got a set of 285 75r16 toyo mud terrains off ebay apparently they are so tall that our vehicle will tip over now i think there was a similar warning sticker with the lift stuff too maybe chris needs one of these on his steering wheel so he will be more careful the new tires mounted on some granite alloys and here is the end result not too shabby i still want to space the wheels out an inch and tint the front windows to match the rears maybe regear it down the road but it drives pretty decent for now at least until it tips over which is imminent if you believe the stickers posted by paul at 4 13 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday february 26 2011 on the radio today i had the unique opportunity to be a guest on a radio talk show called in the shop where they talk about automotive repair shops and related topics the host john beebe who i have known for years and worked for a few years back interviewed me about my experiences on the ultimate adventure in 2010 kinda neat if you want to check it out go to http intheshopradio com and look on the right side for the feb 26 broadcast posted by paul at 12 51 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday february 3 2011 quick update just a quick note chris went back up the trail last weekend and managed to puncture a sidewall break a shock and snap off the t case output shaft ouch its probably because the t case was too shiny here s his broken shock and some other dude s spare tire posted by paul at 9 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday january 24 2011 take two on the rhymes with duct trail ok so chris and i really wanted an opportunity to run the entire length of this trail without rigs that would slow us down with breakage and hours of winching so this time we were very selective in who we invited kc is a guy i used to work with that has this awesome toyota pickup its locked up dual t cases dual winches 38 swampers beadlocks onboard air blah blah blah the list goes on the coolest thing about this truck i think is that it looks like its been around the block and it dares you to find something it can t do its got everything you need and nothing you don t as long as you don t need more than 110 hp here is chris gettin a little sideways here s me also getting a little sideways sensing a theme in the photography here just wanted to show off those skidplates umm yeah chris taking some unusual lines sometimes i think i tried that one too it didn t work well for either of us as i recall but hey you gotta try right it was interesting to see how much this trail can change in subtle ways because of the creek that runs down it last time we ran this with snow on the ground and had an easier time of it than we did this time gravel was washed out trees were knocked down stumps were laying about in the middle of the trail there was a strand of christmas lights in the creek speaking of unusual lines i swear he wasn t even moving i turned my back on him for a second and the next thing you know he s flopped over against a rock a tree i don t even know what i hear the sound of glass breaking and kc saying thats getting a little tippy then madman that he his chris just put it in reverse and backed up until he was back on his wheels again kc was examining how the window broke and i think he hit the nail on the head with his observation its like that rock just gave it a little smash yes a little smash sometimes thats all it takes that and a truck falling on it chris did say something about thanks for the warning guys brought me back to a little incident on the ultimate adventure except that chris didn t cry about his window like someone else i know luckily the glass and his cb antenna were the only real casualties and i hear that he already found a window at the local pick a part so he ll be back together in no time he did manage to make quite a few new dents enough that maybe just maybe he ll admit that its a wheeler and he won t try to fix them anymore we ll see so kc was kinda stuck on this rock same one that tipped chris over and i had thrown in a log to try and help things out well wouldn t ya know it moments later that log was firmly wedged in between the leaf spring and the driveshaft and no matter what we did it wouldn t come out so out came the trusty stihl once more here s a nice artsy shot that jennifer took she s good at that finding cool angles on stuff and perspectives and stuff i don t know much about that but she comes up with some cool pictures chris tried moving this rock with his tailgate despite kc s cringing and my encouraging but couldn t make it go away so kc and matt teamed up to move it out of the way what would have been more helpful is if they had moved the log that was next to the rock since it had a profound impact on all of our truck s rear quarter panels kc says yo dawg thats how we run trails in b town fo shizzle more rocks water trucks going up rocks yada yada yada some of this stuff was pretty gnarly but of course its hard to capture with the camera needs some sort of perspective and stuff this is my quarter panel after the aforementioned log i know its hard to tell where the new dents are but the tail lights don t fit so well anymore so i m probably going to have to do something custom there at least i didn t break any glass oh and don t ask about poopoo tribe its a long story and it doesn t even make any sense to those of us who were in the poopoo tribe ok so to cap it off a carnage report i had some dented dents and a flattened out rf spring chris had the busted window some fresh dents what a beater and a broken cb antenna kc had a broken taillight i think thats it a lot better than last time this trip was a lot of fun and the guys did awesome it was really nice to have some serious rigs and make progress at a steady rate kc s little truck was pretty scrappy and he like to get on it a bit which is always fun to watch and much more do able in his truck than the top heavy 4runners chris breaking a window was cool just because i have a fascination with things breaking and windows always make a big mess when paul and i were first dating i d gone wheelin with him a couple times and we were in this really tight gulley with a ton of tree s and i said that d be cool if you broke a window bad idea not 5 minutes later glass was everywhere for some reason i think we even broke another window that day anyway i don t say anything to him about windows anymore just in case so far so good it s been a while since he lost any glass probably shouldn t have said that there was one point just before the end of the trail that was pretty straight up with a big fall on my side of course and i was wondering how my children were going to get along without their mother paul tried to reassure me that we d probably only do a slow pirouette down and to the right while we flipped over backwards yay kc even said at one point that s getting a little tippy and i thought oh great i heard that once already today dear god please take care of my girls but we lived my favorite part of the day was when chris reported his friend who had ridden along with him said about halfway up the trail dude i thought when you said we were going 4x4ing that we were going to drive in mud and puddles and stuff this is nuts jennifer posted by paul at 10 33 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday december 6 2010 the trail in bc that will remain unnamed last weekend my buddy chris and some of his friends and myself of course ran this part of this little trail that basically runs up a creek without a paddle the trail is outside of mission bc off of sylvester rd the name rhymes with duct but this is a family friendly blog so you ll have to use your imagination this showroom fresh rubicon belongs to chris s friend we ll call him mr fancypants my wife jennifer s idea he probably should remain unnamed at least until he settles things with his insurance local dealer more on that later take a good look at that jeep it won t be that pretty for long the white 4runner is mine i am busy making the entrance look easy so as to build up a false sense of security for mr fancypants this trail is pretty cool because it looks totally impossible but the rocks are mostly granite and your tires stick like glue even with snow on them chris pilots this beautiful two tone red 4runner carefully i might add he is still somewhat concerned about body damage so he has begun to strategically add body armor starting in the places that are already messed up i suppose you can t blame him he just doesn t want it to end up looking all raisened out like mine just doing a little trail maintenance i always bring my chainsaw when i go wheelin its amazing how much i have to use it creepin through the boulders looks like my license plate is trying to jump ship chris getting high centered on a little baby rock ok its a big rock we got him back off of it with a little rocking and pushing on the bumpers not a big deal here s mr fancypants starting his line around the little baby rock little does he know this is just the beginning of a long very bad day for him and his rubicon i think what happened here was the right rear tire started climbing the little baby rock then got caught on it as it slid off peeling about six inches of the rim open like a can opener nanoseconds later the slider got bent straight down and the door got smashed awesome sorry mr fancypants you ll notice the strap attached to chris s bumper it is attached on the other end to mr fancypants rubicon about 30 feet after the rim peeling incident he somehow managed to break his right rear axle shaft and we found out later he grenaded the rear locker as well so now in three wheel drive he was needing a little help somewhere around this little hill which was the exit out of the creekbed fancypants got his front diff lodged on a rock and literally spit the right front u joint out on the ground now he had left wheel drive only and that was if we felt it was a good idea to try and power through all the shattered pieces of his drivetrain we didn t really feel like that was a good idea so we relied on winching double line winching strapping winching with chris s winch etc etc this went on for about 4 days not really but it took us about 3 hours to go the last quarter mile with this strategy you can see above the tracks that i left for chris i hit this hill with a lot of skinny pedal and made it without winching but chris now had mr fancypants in tow so he didn t have a chance he put his new costco winch to the test and although it moved cable at glacial speeds it never let him down by the way fancypants had a brand new warn 9 5ti that got worked pretty hard too and took it like a champ except for one time that somebody let too much cable unspool and it ripped off of the drum at some point i jumped into chris s truck to do a little driving while he helped with winchlines and apparently i bent one of his wheels i think it was already like that but it was losing air pretty fast and it was right after i drove it so sorry chris he whacked it with a hammer a few times and sealed it back up though so its all good besides a little body rash on that lf fender this wheel was actually the worst thing that happened to chris s 4runner and it wasn t even his fault so finally you ll notice its dark now we made it out to the road where we stood around checked out the carnage and called for a flatbed to haul the wounded jeep home he did have to drive it a few miles to get down to paved roads and the right rear wheel was wobbling pretty good by then what with the broken axle and all he even managed to break off part of the brake caliper bracket in the process so i though you would all be excited to hear a woman s thoughts on this day of wheelin first and foremost it was pretty awesome i haven t been wheelin in a while due to having little babies and i didn t get to go on ultimate adventure with paul since someone had to watch those babies for 2 weeks so i was pretty excited this trail was probably the hardest trail i have ever been on and it was all granite rocks going up this creekbed so we spent all day standing in a creek in december half the time it was raining too it was freezing but worth it big rocks tight turns water some mud slingin at the end it covered everything there is no way you are going to make it out of this trail unscathed which is the way it should be i think i m a bit of a backwoods girl and i love to see some carnage with all the breakage on the rubicon the best part was mr fancypants never flipped out just stayed a cool guy and accepted his fate which is the way it should be if you re going wheelin man up and get ready to break something or go drive around in a field somewhere get a little mud on your truck and tell everyone you went wheelin and stay off the real trails our 4runner had some new dents in it s dents by the time we left and my hubby forgot to tell you that he sliced an almost new tire doing donuts in the gravel pit before we even started so there ya go we accomplished something if you think your truck can hack it this trail is definitely worth checking out although i am still hearing winch out winch in from the 3 hour winchathon in my sleep so you might take that into consideration jennifer posted by paul at 10 16 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels trails home subscribe to comments atom
