Four By Four, Monsters, and Off-road.

@Slash Nice. Where did you find that? The same ol' group?

 

[Slash]

Yeah, some of the Ford truck groups on Facebook. Think that came from the OBS 80-97 page.

 

[LivingWithGames]

@Slash I see. And I managed to google search one of the images I sent before and get me awesome stuff. Incomiiing!

And the two best ones I found.

Sorry, no ford here! But still, Jesus. I'm back baby!

Ditch the decals and the eBay super blue HID's and it'd be great.

Those are literally the only things I'd change as well. Several of my friends also agreed.

Because offroaders can be fun on road as well.

I'm really contemplating turning my truck into an overland rig.

 

[Slash]

That would be kickass.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The "Chain link" 4x4. This thing took over 3000 hours and 3 years total to build. There are no axles on this truck. Each wheel is connected to a giant swing arm with a piston. This allows each tire to move up 7 feet up or down. This suspension allow the vehicle to remain almost completely flat over almost any obstacle, as well as each tire to keep nearly complete contact with the ground. There is coil spring and shock suspension as well. The driver can also control the pistons and directly control the suspension. Each wheel is driven by a chain, like a motorcycle.

Specs
Engine is a fuel injected Ford 5.0 V8 out of a '93 Cobra Mustang, c4 transmission out of an early Bronco. 9" w/ 5.38 gears and ARB air locker mounted in the center (below driver) running chain gears on the ends where the swing arms pivot. Swing arms are hydraulically controlled individually or together, and there is coil spring and shock suspension as well. Large chains running inside the swing arms turn hummer gear reduction (2:1) hubs at each wheel. Tires are 39.5". The steering is linked through the swing arms as well and the steering box is mounted just in front of the axle below the driver. Body construction is steel tubing (mostly DOM) and the total weight is 5900 LB..

That thing is badass!

Gotta love CJs. I could have sworn that I posted my dad's CJ7 here a while ago, but I must not have since I couldn't find pictures of it on here for some reason.

 

[Slash]

This truck looks like dads kinda. He has some sweet videos.

I'd forgotten this thread existed.

A classic car magazine Facebook page I follow recently posted asking whether the first-gen Suzuki Vitara (Escudo/Sidekick, depending on where you live) can yet be considered a classic. It is of course a car from 1988, one year before the Mazda MX-5 arrived, and classic car mags in the UK have rightly started featuring those since they're over 25 years old now.

In response, someone asked whether people actually use them for offroading, or whether the "hairdresser" image remains. I'd not really thought about it, but I did find these when looking for offroading pics:

I'd say it's earning its keep. Suppose it has the same qualities as other off-road biased Suzukis past and present - short wheelbase, tough mechanicals, and light weight. The fact they cost sod all to buy and run probably helps too.

Just found a new one that hasn't been posted and it's anotehr chevy in action!

 

[Joey D]

This guy has done a great job with his truck so far, but I question him starting off with a $40k TRD-Pro.

This guy though probably has my favorite Taco to date.

And to give the owner photography credit: http://sjennings.zenfolio.com/

 

[Fastcarguy]

That first one looks like a badass baja basher. I like it, and I dont usually like Toyota trucks, at least the new ones.

This truck set the fastest time to drive to the South Pole, also it has the biggest stinger bar I've ever seen. The bed is also a 300 gallon fuel tank.
