Turbone Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Look at the water in the bottle guys. Thats quite a dangle to the angle there Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Excellent. My first reaction to your first post was that you need an incline-o-meter in there. looks like you've even modified it to read more angle than stock (stock, it stops at about 30 degrees). here's the one in my buddy's 4Runner a few years ago up at the offroad park: not sure on the Tercel, but I know late '80s pickups/4Runners in SR5 trim had them.

moosens Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So you parked on your door ....again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 it rained the whole day Saturday, so I didn't put my half door on, and the landowner shut down the trails. WE got to go out on Sunday though. and Friday night if you got there early and didn't have electrical problems . The rock slider saved the door this time. it seriously does not have any dents in it... here's all the pics http://www.indysworld.com/ci4wi/2010/pics/castana-2010.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy FitzGibbon Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 not sure on the Tercel, but I know late '80s pickups/4Runners in SR5 trim had them. Tercels had them as an option, but a lot (maybe all) that I've seen in Tercels don't have the altimeter like the truck version does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DOG Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 That brat is just TOO COOL! That is one gnarly trail to do with only all terrains. That jeep was set up Nicely:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 yeah, more agressive tires are on my wish list, but too much other stuff going on currently to even think about getting anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 thos clear drinks are the best things ever made! Ummm, no. I drank that stuff for a time and it was starting to mess with me. I did some research on the sweetener used and its bad juju. Do a google on aspartame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Nice landing for sure. Is Indy in the passenger seat laughing? he was. I pushed him up and out through his window before they startng taking pictures... then after they were all done with pictures they decided to help me get back level. pulled me backwards until I leveled it out, then I got past the stump that cause me to get off-center in the first place... then I got to the end of the trail, where 2 more stumps were in the way of me keeping it straddled, and I did the slow tip again as my gummed up wheels slid down the bank... the ranger behind me tried, but couldn't get up it. too narrow as well...

Fairtax4me Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 You're drinking flavored water, that's what wrong! And X2 on Aspartame = If I eat/drink aspartame I get a headache so bad it makes me nauseous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 is your brat FI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 is your brat FI? no, it's not... yet.... I have all the stuff, but the question was put to me in this form... "If you can get into the predicaments you already do with the weber, and gearing isn't an issue, is it necessary? For the most part now, the only reason it quits on me is if I don't get the clutch pushed in quick enough . with the flexi suspension, the body/engine actually stays more level now than it did before... plus I did the "offroad" adjustment to the float for angles, and there were times that I got it started that I was very suprised it started... I think the bigger issue now, is making sure the oil is flowing properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
