Toyota based buggy. On propane 4.7 in the tcase. Changing to 4.88s has welded front and rear. 42 tsls has a new paint job and getting new sheet metal. Changing from black and blue to grey and black to match my tow rig better. The no fat girls thing is just light hearted humor to draw attention mostly looking to ride new places this year. We try to ride atleast once a month.

P.R.85 · Feb 26, 2013

Well first time even posting here. I have offroaded some in the past, not near as much as i would like to, but some. I am the perfect definition of a "newb". Lookin to gain some knowledge about all this offroad stuff, spent the last couple years modding diesel trucks and never did much offroad stuff. But the time has come! I bought a 1st gen yoter a while back, just used on the farm. Traded last week for an 85 yoter. Got some big plans for this one. Gonna be far from a hardlinecrawler like most of you have. But i just want a rig i can take fishing and camping, and up some trails every now and then. Well sorry to bore all of you, but here are some pics of the truck.

zjtrey · Feb 27, 2013

Hey Guys...Name is Trey, I live in Waynesville NC... Been lurking and posting here for a year or so. Most of the time we're out wheeling and don't stop long enough to take pics n such. Heres a couple from Windrock last weekend, if you haven't been to windrock in a while you better check it out because they are putting alot of money back into the place and there's a bunch of new trails and the old ones will still kick your ass...

Anyway this is my pile of parts... started its like a zj.. you can see whats left.. NOT MUCH hahaha but she gets the job done just fine. She's 100% built by me so its my fault when the **** hits the fan!

I'm running a 5.3 np435/205 shaved 14b and 60 with some goodies to keep her together flashemifyougotem

^^^ Pretty sure my buddy used to own that truck, was a good truck when he had it. It got a bullet hole in the hood (from the under side) and one in the firewall? He replaced alot of maintenance type stuff on it and got it in good mechanical shape while he had it.

Just saw this post. It does in fact have a bullet hole on the hood, which explains a lot! By chance do you have a name and contact number of your buddy? It was an Alabama title, in the name of a fella named Corey who bought it from the title holder Curtis. Would like to get it titled etc, in my name. Any info would be AWESOME!!!!

My name is Daniel Hardee. I was born and raised in Jackson, TN. I got into wheeling about 10 years ago when I got my '79 Bronco. After breaking several things on it over 3 or 4 years, I got frustrated and quit going. A couple of months ago a buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to ride with him, and I got bit by the bug once again.

I traded for my current rigs in the same week.

Well, Newby to the site, not to 4 wheeling. Been lurking and reading over here off and on for awhile. Spent lots of time on other 4x4 sites and like the tech and suggestions here. Had a Little YJ for years, wheeled and wrenched it to death, then got the buggy bug. Parted out said YJ and am in the middle of the Buggy build.

Here is where I am at now

Here is where it is headed
