80's across the pond

[fj80toyman]

I was looking through some old pics and came across these and thought I throw them out for fun.

These guys were at a place called Sanage Adventure Field (pr: sah-nah-geh) in Japan. It's basically an off-road park commercially run where there are built obstacles and you pay to have fun.

These are some pretty serious built rigs, mostly homemade stuff as they don't have a huge demand for aftermarket stuff, so they have to build what they want. They were using drop trailing arm brackets that looked professionally made though, but the bumpers and cage are definitely backyard stuff.

As a side note, this caused me to think that unless we protect our lands and access rights, we'll all be paying to go play in someone's backyard.

Condos at Lions back?! it's a bad sign.

Cage in pic #1 is hardcore. Wish I had an 80 like that. I would be much more willing to do the gnarlier stuff... I dig.

Its strange how the exo-80 doesn't appear to have sliders...

You'd think with that much tube work they'd try for some sliders with the cage.

And seems he's hit his rocker pannel already.

That exo'd one kind of reminds me of Ken's rig......


If it still had a top, and no sliders, and was white, and....


Ok maybe it's just the crawlers. Cool rig though, definitely needs sliders.


Cool pics, agreed the prospect of condo's at Lions Back is depressing.
