Heck mate nice pics! Wish I had a local ravine! can't help hearing lavine when I read that!!

smileyq · 07-09-2006, 05:55 PM

Man those are some great pics. 35's huh I'm impressed. How many things did you have to mod to get that to work?

Funrover · 07-09-2006, 06:23 PM

Sweet pics man!!! Looks like you had fun!!

Badger1 · 07-09-2006, 08:42 PM

What kind of drivetrain mods did you have to do to get those 35's on there and not break anything, cause they look great on your truck!

nfrey2 · 07-09-2006, 09:07 PM

well the disco is my buddies truck who got me into rovers, my classic only rides on 33's because im not willing to do the chopping he had to do to get those tires on.

Yeah our ravine/ washout, because I live in florida, is only there until an office depot gets built on it.

what he's done:
RTE 5" basically pieced 2gether complete suspension package
Great Basin Double Cardon front and ujointed rear shaft
cut about 4" of wheel well out

Well worth it that one nice looking truck. I see he also stripped the inside out too. I unfort can't do that to mine because its a daily driver. Heck when i'm not out having fun I have a car seat in mine lol and use it as the family hauler. Bell hell I look cool doing it lol.

this palce we went to is notoriously wet and muddy, hes gotten down stipping out the interior down flat. B/c part of the point of wheelin a rover is that you can go from the trail to a nice restruant all in the same rig.

Hey bro, I hear Richloam is very dry right now and it sure looks as if it is. Come on rain. Im itching to get out myself. Keep a lookout on the FLRC board as we should be getting out shortly. Plus the fall rally will be there late October. Glad you had fun. Gordo

WCURoverD90 · 07-10-2006, 11:05 AM

Thats a good looking rig right there....

nfrey2 · 07-10-2006, 12:35 PM

It was the driest I've ever seen it! We covered most of the east side of the forest in a about 6 hours, sand trails and an occasional mud hole. Spent most of the time pulling locals out of marshes that they shouldnt have been in in the 1st place.

I'm letting my current 4x4 club membership lapse and will be hooking up with FLRC here shortly. Do they do runs other than the fall and spring rallies?

Ohh also I forgot to mention, my buddy is looking to sell his daily driver in order to finance either a brazilian powerstroke or cummins 4cyl conversion, so that his disco can be his daily driver. Anybody following this post done it?
