The Beast I Drive Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) ... And toasted my clutch, as usual but had some fun, almost got sideways in a bad way 3 times my rig was not performing at its peak tonight, but it did ok for a beat wheeler that has had no real maintenance other than engine swaps and exhaust for the last 3 years... Didn't get hardly any pics, my buddy got a lot of videos but I dont have them... This was the highlight of the night for me Front wheel is about 2 1/2' off the ground, rear passenger wheel is off the ground as well... Good times Planning on going back out with some other guys on Sunday, but I think I'll have to take the Yota, the clutch is TOAST on the Beast, and I think I broke a motor mount and a rear axle, but I will know for sure when I run a damage assesment in the morning. -Bill Edited May 5, 2010 by The Beast I Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast I Drive Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yeah, that's just a little off-camber Bill !!! Where's this place at??? This place is about 10 minutes east of Sunnyside, right on the edge of Yakima County. Its not that big a spot, but it has some cool stuff, some really hard stuff and a lot of fun to play around on stuff. Its all sand and trees, with some rocks, and in the summer there is water flowing through it -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannomanno Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Dang, I think I will have to get a lift on before I try to follow you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 A lift would definitely help in the tougher areas, but there is plenty of spots that your non-lifted rigs would have fun. Went back out today with my buddies and my yota, and I must say I know why all the old schoolers dropped sube wheelin and went to toyotas :-\ Also got an isuzu rodeo rear axle for the beast today disc brakes, 4.10 gears, and possibly a locker... I'm gonna build my 4.11 AWD D/R trans and run the rodeo axle in the rear with a 4-link, won't have to worry about breaking axles any more then! Planning on goin tomorrow between 12 and 2pm, anyone who's interested can meet at my house. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Went back to our little spot today around 2, it was me and my Toyota, my brother in his Yota, my buddy Dereck in his Chevy, and Andy in his Brat. It was a pretty fun day, I am fully impressed with my toyota, and the Brat did really well. For his first time wheelin my brother did really good too. Both me and Dereck blew out a tire on a stump, luckily I brought spares and jacks Andy's Hakkipalata snow tires were pretty awesome in the powdery sand, and my brother's Toyo A/T's kicked rump roast in the sand. I'll have pics and vids up later tonight -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 ... the clutch is TOAST and I think I broke a motor mount and a rear axle, -Bill call that Fun sounds like alot of work ahead of you , Yes this is why people move onto other vehicle choices, on the Isuzu axle you can just run smaller tires up front to make up for the ratio difference, Ill help with the math if needed ,with a 4.10 rear and a 2.9 front if you ran 31s on the rear you would run 29.5 on the front, or 32.6 on the rear with 31s on the front, or 33s on the rear with 31.4 on the front , you can get it close enough for a wheeler , even running some new and some wore out tires you can come up with a combo that will work, if your spinnin most the time it will work just fine , see ya in July at the Walker axle breakin Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 .01 difference in gearing is a common thing that happened on a lot of factory vehicles.no need for different sized tires with that little of a difference scott...cheers, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Pics! Videos to come soon Dereck's flat tire My flat tire I never take as many pics as I would like, mainly cuz Im too busy wheelin or taking video...

Fenix747 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Great stuff today That was lots of fun, im amazed at how well my Brat does at stock height. Cant wait to see how it does with more clearance And i cant wait to see the beast with a solid rear axel. if you start getting too far ahead on the trails i might have to go that route too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
