I'm very interested in off-roadn. I first started liking it year ago after my buddy took me to "the back ponds" to go mudding. It was awesome! I enjoyed all the little trials we did and such. I recently just bought a Toyota Tacoma twin-cab TRD and was wondering what should be the first mod that I should put on it? What's the best for my money? I'm not interested in hill climbing just going through mud and little trails. I'll soon lift it 4 inches, but that's not my first priority. So, any feedback and such would be awesome.

Thanks,
Mister4x4 :) ]]> General 4X4 and Off-Road Mister4x4 http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233631-new-off-roading.html http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233617-how-come.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:34:49 GMT Home come the excuctive of the Blue Ribbon coalition is against ATV's on roads posted at 55 mph or more or all hard surface roads. ]]> General 4X4 and Off-Road Grumpy 1 http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233617-how-come.html http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233615-making-choice.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:32:35 GMT Hi everyone, I need a little help in making a decision. I am stuck in the middle of a 84 Dodge ramcharger(318 V8 auto 4X4) and a 79 Scout II(345 V8 auto 4X4). I am new to any kind of 4WD vehicle and just looking for basically a toy. I must admit that the Scout has my eye. With the Internationals history and apparent durability I am pretty much sold. My only concern is parts availability when necessary, everyone I have spoke to leans towards the Dodge except for a few Scout zealots. So my question is, in the opinions of the well informed readers and contributors of this forum what would be a good choice for a beginner like myself who will probably never see anything more than a mud hole on the back forty. Also any pros or cons to support your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I found a good middle priced laptop mount that seems pretty durable and says it's universal? Just wondering before I buy if there are better ones or if any has advice.. The mount I am talking about is this one 'http://www.dura-mounts.com', it is called the Onyx laptop mount.. seems pretty cool..

So any help would be great thanks!

Is this normal or a problem?

He did something to extend the shift nob up to normal height, but he did not extend the 4x4 engagement rod so it is super low and very hard to get into 4 low. Also, i guess because of the boots placement it puts a lot of pressure on the stick and makes it jump out of gear sometimes.. and it also makes it harder to shift cause i have to fight the boot. Is this fixable?

Edit add:

Also, while im here, it has oversized tires so the speedometre is off.. How do i fix that also? ]]> General 4X4 and Off-Road Chikokishi http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233553-lifted-4runner-shift-stick-help.html http://forums.off-road.com/general-4x4-off-road/233547-ahwooga-com-new-automotive-market-place-swap-meet-rules.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:53:35 GMT This site is going to go live Jan 1st.

Please can you let me know where I can find what off-road events are on around Texas?

I currently compete in Comp Safari / Cross Country Rallying in the UK and am really keen be watch all types of motor-sport and also look at the different designs of cars / trucks used over there, for tips when I get back to the UK.

I've been looking around on the Internet and think the types of motor-sport I'd be interested in are .....
Short Course
Gymkhana
Rally
Off-Road
CORR
SCORE
Desert Racing

Here are a couple of vid's of what we do in the UK, so if you know of anything similar please let me know.
