Ok @arthursc2 @bangbangskeetskeet now we have a safe place.

Here's my proof, put a new axle in the Crust Caboose last night, and wanted to see if it crab-walked down the road or went straight. Of course, I had to test its off-road towability because I am Dirty Dan.

Last time I had her in the dirt. Two days before I got rear ended and she went under the knife.




Here she is all cleaned up ready to hit the dirt next.

My **** piles, I like 4wd, can you tell? bahaha

Toyota is a goner, replaced by the $800 Mazda Ranger that probably has a hurt 4.0 in her. Flirting with the idea of an LS swap, keeping manual and doing full widths with glass, front coilvoers and rear bypasses. Junkyard runner with good shocks is my hope.

Y'all should know my Tahoe at this point, shes my bae. And most of you should know my van too. Shes less bae, and fully leafed= trash off road

Snow and red clay.... must be Utah?

I love your 'Hoe. Never really been a fan of them lifted or with any "off-road parts". Always loved them dropped with big wheels but DAMN that thing looks good. What is your suspension setup on the hoe?

I supposed trailer pictures count as driving on things other than paved roads, as long as it drove onto the trailer.

I agree never liked off road tahoes but Arthur's is cool. I like that bullet proof H2 14bolt and glass 4l60

Just kidding he convinced me to 14b swap my Tahoe and now I'm working on my second 14b. Plus he welded some AN fittings on valve covers for my Silverado and it works like a champ!
Not to mention another secret project in the works.

Bangbang is your truck 4x4? It has the new beefy 12bolt right?
