Share Your Rides

[Tacos & Trucks]

Share all the different off road toys you have had over the years.

My first Prerunner style vehicle was a 1979 Toyota truck. Camburg upper and 300k miles.

Then I bought the Baja bug pictured. It was so capable. All bus chassis. Super long arms, 2.0 water cooled Audi motor with power steering.

Then I had a handful of K5 Blazers but they didn’t really do what I wanted. No pics


Golf Cart on VW chassis with 1835 in it. So sketchy but so fun.


Then a Yamaha Rhino that we built. Kind of a rock crawler style cage.



Then I picked up a killer OBS f150 in Escondido. Caged, TTB, Coilovers and stuff for $2k.



I traded that truck for this OBS Crew cab. It was caged, linked on 37’s. It was a very rough build.



Then I went back to SXS’s for a few years. First was this Kawasaki Teryx 4.


Then a RZR built by Desertworks. This SXS was crazy fast and worked so good.


Then I went back a full-size with this 92 Bronco.



And currently I have a 1969 Jeepster.




I will say the Jeepster is my favorite. It does everything the others do at about 70% but it does things the others couldn’t even dream of.

Cool thread! Ill play along.

Started in high school with a 2004 silverado, driveway build i didnt have money for much but made some hacked parts in my garage and thought i was the coolest kid on the block!




Shortly after i sold the truck because i wanted a fullsize. I picked this truck up in vegas and did a few little things to it


I caught the prerunner bug again and started building the ranger i have now. This was in 2012. Got the ranger up and running after about a year of work and took it to the desert for the first time.




Towing with the 1500 wasnt working out the best so i sold the silverado and bought a duramax from a friend


Continued building my Ranger and got it to where i thought it was exactly how i wanted it.


Went to pismo and had an accident which sparked the next toy


I knew this rebuild would take some time, i had a buddy selling this Rhino with a full weller racing SR1 conversion and picked it up


Ran the R1 car for about 5 seasons until i sold it 2 years ago. Still have my duramax and the ranger now

i will play.
Ranger i built and raced for a while. Then decided i needed something more practical.
Black f150 fell in my lap. While it was a dream truck, it didnt check the boxes for what i wanted.
Fraptor, its a street queen

I figured a picture of my Gen 1 raptor on a tow truck would be fitting xD. typical ford. First one is of the ole 86 Tundra. I really should get her painted and finish up the interior

Memory lane is fun, and painful.

High school truck. Mostly built by Richer racing in Oceanside. Was at the 2008 offroad expo.

Then the rat rod ‘61 with a 4.6, tremec, and 9”. Only picture I have of it when I worked at a car shop.


Then I did some cafe bike stuff and crotch rocket douche stuff.
Got back into the dirt and bought a few old Chenowth buggies.


Wanted something street legal for the kids to enjoy with me. Bought a 3 seat bug that blew up 10 mins after buying so began to rebuild it.

Went to the offroad expo and talked to a few guys I knew from years ago and decided I need to go back to trucks. Bought a 91 ranger a few weeks ago and regret nothing.

Don’t worry, we were just driving in my buddies backyard, don’t call CPS on me…

Still have the white Dodge, 4runner and of course the Raptor. Wish I could have kept them all.

Haven’t had a lot of “off road” toys, lots of trucks, now I live in the desert and have the bug bad

But, this was built for truck pulling and that’s an off the road Motorsport.

Had a 521 BBF , made around 700hp and liked to split transfer cases when it pulled rode like a log wagon
