Help with 1 ton axle choice for fzj80 build

[Dusty]

D, where exactly is St. George? I tried to search it on a map, but came up empty. Looks like some nice wheeling that I'd like to try especially if it is near by.

From LA get on the I15 heading north. When you get to Las Vegas just keep going north. about three hours drive north of Las vegas is St george Utah. the pics above are from an area that stages about 15 min off I15

Where are all the trees, rocks, and mud? No wonder your body looks so good. To me that looks all easy wheeling.

Oh yeah. Well you east coast guys dont know jack about wheeling. All that bouncin around and mud slinging you do. Thats just HP and chaos. why dont you take a vacation to Cali and ill trade my turbo for your crawl box (you do the WRENCHing of course) IF you do i good job ill give you a driving lesson

I totally agree with Andy on this one Dusty. Epic build. I have some good shots of this truck from Moab last year. Great build.
I 2nd the Dusy run in August. I hope to be there too this year.

Ibelieve I took you around the block for a ride durring that fine gathering. I want Dusy bad this year

this is what the sierra nevadas look like now. this is my place (shaver lake) back porch last week. the garage is under 4 feet of snow

Great pics at Shaver lake. Looks like a nice place too.

We'll make Dusy happen. I just hope the snow is gone. I have had to cancel that trip twice due to deep snow in Late July!


Regarding the east coast guys....I ain't touching that one.

last month me and Dan (slickrock) planned a trip to run a trail called Bald Mtn thats 10 miles from my place. this is what the staging area looked like after a few days of heavy snow. We drove to this location in our road cars (100 series and fj cruiser) to take the pic. im glad we didn't drag our crawlers up here. would have been a waste to even try

And honestly I would love to hit east coast trails. crawling is so boring. keep the crawl box Wrench. I know you want the turbo

As someone who has wheeled both East Coast and West Coast, I have to say that each provides with their sense of "challenge". Screw up out West and you die.....screw up out East and you hit lots of trees and rocks.

Y'all are haters . You know you wish you had trees to bounce off of out west. There are so many things to love out east:

• Salt
• Rust
• Mud

Oh wait, nevermind. The trees look good though;p

 

[CreeperSleeper]

See? That is why I like being in the PNW... All the mud and trees but without the rust! LOL

Ha Ha Ha a turbo would be nice. But I love my crawl box so no deal . I need those 42's though.

March 20th is the day. We'll give her another go. Anyone in CA or Nevada is welcome. Hopefully the snow has gone down a bit and a few snow mobiles have gone through. The top of Bald mountain has an abandoned fire tower. I would bet the view would be up in the same class of beauty as the Mona Lisa. Once in a lifetime experience. Not many people get to see that panorama.

It is easy to get there. Just head east off of HWY 99 or 41 on HWY 180/168 out of fresno. 40 minutes later, your at the trail head.

Anyone up for it?

 

[Dusty]

ill go

 

[slickrock]

Kinda figured that. Your about as bright as copper penny aint'cha.

Awesome man thx for sharing. Nice idea on bringing the rubber tube. Cute kids. Must be a handful.

 

[slickrock]

My boy and one of Dusty's girls are the same age. They may have been incubated in the same tube when it comes to personality. They both get in way to much trouble when they are together.
