Dishpan Springs Waterfall Flop (4 Viewers)

sorry to hear, wish I would of come up that day so I could of helped out, glad to hear you are safe.

Yeah, it would have been fun to finally wheel with you. The group of guys I wheel with are great and I have to give them a lot of the credit for getting me out of some of the predicaments I've gotten myself into. We'll get out sometime,

Trasharoo Withstands A Beating

Dave,
You are more than welcome to use this as a testimonial of the Trasharoo's durability,

Yes, it has gotten worse. This was my 4th time climbing the waterfall. I think my overconfidence affected the line I chose. I learned a great lesson, the trail will be different every time you run it. Run it like it is your first time.

That is a good reminder, like it's your first time. I always tell myself, you got to drive this home.

Man!! that hurts, glad to know that you and kids came out fine. A buddy out in central Ca put his LX on its side off a big rock last Nov 2011, one that he has climbed many a times.

He still has not decided what to do with it, but did not stop him from wheeling it at the hammers last Feb. Mr Sledge took out his axles. He trailers it so it does not stop him from doing what he enjoys.

You will get yours done before he does, subscribing to your next build.

WOW Derrick - When you do something you go BIG. OUCH!

I'm glad to hear that you and you family came out of that roll unharmed. We all learn valuable lessons in these stories.

Here are some pics of my friend Dave's once rolled LC. He is not here on Mud very often but if you would like to talk to him I can put you in touch with him.

Wow that thing is sweet, I like what he did.

Derrick, glad to see everyone is ok! I was at dishpan a few weeks ago..

Looking forward to see what you do with it. Knowing you it will be bad ass.

Wow! Derrick knowing you, your truck will look even better when you get it all fixed up. Glad you din't get hurt. I had my oh S%*t moment there many times.

I would like to see a couple more pics of his rear bumper. I would like to try to duplicate that one for my own.

Chopped It Off Today

I have made some progress on my rig and have the the top off and D pillars removed as well. I have a build thread in the 80s Tech section: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/603654-flopped-my-rig-time-chop-top.html#post7750007

Here a pic for the day:

And I just cut a whole in my tailgate this weekend while you cut your entire top off!

 

[Brentbba]

Wow - that's going to look awesome!

 

[fjc8871]

Can't wait to see this completed.

Talk about Mod Fever........
some folks will clearly take extreme measures to justify the "need" for their latest LandCruiser update. I guess taking your truck through The Squeeze unscathed just wasn't enough.

Again, glad you're ok. And this clearly looks awesome already!

 

[Newps]

Nice job. How fun was it cutting the top off?

Derrick - If you have not already seen it check out the latest issue of 4WD Toyota Owners magazine. I really like what this guy did to his 4 Runner after he rolled it.

It may be a little late, but here is my vote for a Hendrix Formula-4 chassis on the FZJ80 frame. That's my plan if I ever destroy the body of my 80.
