The added traction of stickies works best when the tires are touching the ground

10 minutes into the shakedown run of this thing & I realize the rear axle is not as wide as I’m use to & she’s a little more tippy. BUT she climbs like a billy goat & can bomb thru the trails with much more comfort than the 4Runner. Very fun little rig & great day trip to URE
I guess if we didn’t have 2 rigs have day ending failures we could’ve witnessed this happen lol.
That's an awesome pic haha
What does it look like on all 4s ?

Lines aren’t my favorite whatsoever BUT not sure it makes sense to cut it all off & re-do. Rig has been around here for a while. I bought it from @NCJeeplover & threw the treps on it from my 4Runner

This thing was a 94 Toyota Pickup (or at least that’s what the title I got with it says). Not sure if it’s the same or not but the cab corners on that you’re in says it’s not the same. I was thoroughly impressed with this little thing. If it doesn’t get sent down the road it’ll be a good little starter rig for my boys…may even let my oldest drive it this weekend at the GTG

It has been bugging me since Saturday that I can't remember who originally built that thing. The Toyota years were many moons ago but I feel like it came from Alabama/GA originally.
Edit: Tennessee...I was close. Forgot about Hardline. Found it a few pages back in the builds. The Gremlin - Toyota beater truggy build

Good eye! Mine was a 4 Runner and as you can see, quite elegant!

I picked it up from Nick after it was for sale for years. Always loved Nicks work and liked it so much I took and back and we 4 linked the rear. I only took it out 2-3 times after the 4 link.

If only all the pics were visible...
Thanks for digging this up, been pretty awesome to read & get some background. So much nostalgia from the days where forums did forum things. Good ole build threads are missed!

There's also another thread on Pirate. Nick was real big on pirate back in the day but like most abandoned it and switched to Hardline.
The Gremlin build - small, linked, ugly beater truck
