Well after the last night out wheeling I was hearing a whirrling sound coming from the rear axle. Figured it was probably brake backing plates rubbing on the drum. Threw it on jackstands today and put it into 3rd gear and let it bark. Could feel a party going on in the differential area. Torn it...

Give my channel a gander if you feel like. I just do this for fun and to flex my creative muscle. I helps keep myself motivated and accountable to finish projects. https://youtube.com/@whitedirtrider3441?si=BKtbqopygcjdbaZX

Sustained a little damage. I guess that’s just night wheelin for ya. Oh and my topper won’t quite go on squarely now. Pretty sure I need to push the drivers side bedside outward some. No biggie.

Actually got out and did some real wheeling for the first time in 7 years. These are screen shots from videos but it did all of Hal John’s trail here in SD and went everywhere I pointed it. I even did hot laps up and down the infamous waterfall obstacle. Got the opportunity to test out the...

Recently did some stuff and things. Completed my crossmember. Was halfway done with it when I broke my collarbone so had to take a couple week break from finishing it. Was halfway done welded/installed during that time 😅 Decided it would be fiiiiinnneee if I compromised the structural...

Was supposed to be out shaking down the 4runner today but decided to get a collarbone mod instead. 4in plate and 8 screws 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gunna have to wait a few weekends before I can get out and wheel.

I do have a date with the rocks this coming weekend. I need to get out in it a few times to make sure it’s going to hold up when we get to KOH in 147 Days. Looking forward to getting down there. I think myself and maybe a couple guys of our group are going to help out and pit for the Rusty Nail...

Little update. Built a new front driveshafts out of some ridiculously heavy walled tube instead of rebuilding my Double cardan joint in the old front shaft. I’ll repair that before KOH though so I have a spare. Found a fuel tank skid to hack up and modify and got it mounted. Being that my...

Sliders are mounted and turned out wicked stout. They’re probably 50lbs apiece so -10HP 😝 Just need to rebuild my double cardan joint on front shaft and build a fuel tank skid then I can go scratch rocks.

👋 Also a moto dude over here. Cheapest hobby I have…well until I bought a brand new bike 😅 Oh well. Last bike I’ll buy for quite awhile. I’m in South Dakota if anyone is ever up here. Tons of legit riding. Big time trail cutter upper guy.

I have yet to install them because I decided last minute to undo some of the fuckery fab work I did as a youngin. And I wanted to POR15 some of the areas I won’t have access to once they are hard mounted. The salt they put on the roads up here in the winter is absolutely ridiculous. I just try...

Been pecking away at a few things. Would like to be confident taking it out on the rocks here soon so mostly focusing on armor. When I did the frame chop I had to cobble the fuel tank from the 4runner onto the extra cab frame. So it never did get a fuel tank skid put back onto it. I could build...

Also, this is the photo I was referring to. I need this in my life. I look forward to meeting some of you down there and doing some wheeling. Don’t know my way around very well down there so not even sure what trails I’m capable of even doing.

With that said, we are leaving from South Dakota for King of the Hammers in 215 Days. This will be the 3rd time we’ve been but I’ve never brought a wheeler capable enough to actually wheel down there. Would love to meet up with some of you guys and an actually do some wheeling down there for a...
