Voodoo Blue Buildup

[ColoCruiserJeff]

Those were all from our first day at CM2010, and the trail named Behind the Rocks - quite a challenging trail. This was VuduBlu's first trail outing....and everything worked as it should!


These are from the Poison Spider Mesa, Golden Spike ad the Gold Bar Rim trail Trifecta

Speaking of trail damage - don't ever take your kiddos out wheeling without a few things. DIAPERS, DIAPERS and more DIAPERS.

Here's a photo of our major trail repair - took a few terry cloths and some duct tape and "made-do" for the doo-doo. She was quite a trooper....she made it on the trail till 3am (due to someone breaking a pinion in front of us) it was a really long night - but we all made it home safely.

Moab was a blast....we'll definately be returning soon!

Sorry about that !!! Definately a long night. But what an epic day of wheeling. I had an awesome time. Addison is still talking about his little friend he met in Moab.

Gimme Green- It's good to see you post-up! Yeah, the Moab trip was well worth it!!

I'm plagued by a blown head-gasket and a 7mpg carb.

I've sourced a 3FE out of a 89+ FJ60 from Proffitt's Cruisers....but we'll have to see about doing the motor swap.

I'll post-up progress, as I figure out what I'm going to do.

Hey Jeff!

Just wanted to say that you're 'Cruiser looks awesome! Glad you guys made it to Moab. I'm kinda hoping to make it next year. It is afterall, just right up the road from me now! (being on the west side of Durango) Btw, you guys always have a place to stay with us if you want a place to stop on the way home. We'd love to have you!

Hope to catch up some time soon!

Well, it's been ages since anything was posted on my Cruiser...so I figured I'd bring it to the top again

I'm having to re-do the tire carrier...as it magically snapped off during the CM2010 run on Poison Spider and Golden Spike.

I'll be doing that this week, working on getting the tire carrier re-designed.

I'm going to eliminate one of the gas cans, as my 3FE shouldn't guzzle as much as my 6mpg 2F - so I won't need the extra fuel weight on the carrier. I think I'll be better off with an additional gas tank under the rear bed - think Man-A-Fre has an option for that.

I'll also be moving the tire off to the driver's side as opposed to being in the center. It's just that Toyota engineers did it right so when you look in the rear-view you can actually see something other than the tire!

I'll post up some progress photos as I can get 'em.

Happy wheelin!

Do you happen to still have the Green goblin frame? I'm looking for the radiator mounting tabs that go on the frame...(Sorry to hijack...)
That color and those wheels are a great combination! Well done!

Cheers!

still luv the voodoo!

great rig and great pics

I would love to do a trip like that and it is nice that the whole family is in on it---for me only the dog is thrilled to go!

you duct taped a diaper on! needs must eh?

The pic of your lil un in the rain coat made me smile---cute as a button

I'll finally show ya what I've been keeping a cool secret.....which taillights I'm planning on using.

If anyone is interested in these- I've got a local source here in Denver!

They're a full-LED system - backup light is integrated into the light - so less lights to mount up!

I'm very pleased with them...they're made well- and bright!!

I'll probably mount an additional backup light up to the top-above the spare-MAYBE - I'm not too sure yet. You can never have too many lights!

Those are exactly what I'm looking for. Can you PM with details.

Unfortunately, the GreenGoblin's frame was scrapped - I may have a source for another one if you're still needing one. PM Gr8ful (Abe) here on Mud....he's here in Denver and has a ton of 40 stuff....the last time I spoke with him.

Hey, when ya gotta go - she had to go!

Everyone I've shown that to is surprised....told 'em it was a trail repair then they laugh out loud - pretty funny.

I'm glad the entire family fits in the '40. It's a snug fit with all of our gear, so I purchased a small trailer to tow our camping goodies in - pics to follow! It's going to get a tire/axle/spring upgrade this winter- I'll have to start and actually maintain a build-up thread
