Seems like everyone here drives imported cars, any American trucks out there?( NO PAVEMENT PRINCESSES :))

I'll start off with my truck
It's a 94 Ford Bronco 5.0 with 31s All Terrain and No Muffler and also Hella Driving Lamps.

If you take your car offroading, feel free to post!

In case anyone is wondering, these trails are in Summerville, SC
 
Hell yeah. Nice bronco, those old 302s are nasty motors. I've got a 1985 F250 4x4 that sits on 33x12.5R16.5s in the summer (2 tone wagon wheels) and stock 235s in the winter. She's a rust bucket now from sitting cause t gets 3-6 mpg though. Had a 300 I6 stock, pulled it an swapped in a 74 351W an put so many hard miles on it the paint is completely gone. It was built very well. Eventually it lost oil pressure so we pulled it to fid the piston skirts in the oil pan and the cylinder walls to be bowed so far a .60 overbore couldn't correct it as it was already 30 out. And it was still running becuase it was balanced so well. So we threw a mild 351w from the mid 70s that got a bit beefed up to go to work everyday and that's what's in it now. This one has all custom rods crank and pistons but to "stock" specs with an rv cam and some other goodies like a NOS 1969 Boss 302 intake modded on. That bitch used to spin and I quote from my father "smoke all four 33's". She's a bit tired now as she's got 665,000 miles on it. We got all new body for it though and are planning a second full frame up rebuild. Last one was done in 93. It's got a fisher plow and a custom bumper and pipe bumpers, diamond plates, flex flares, roll bars with lights, pushbar with kc's etc. was a really nice truck at one time.
 
My 2 "Pavement Princess" Imports

We love taking both of our scoobys mudding and rallying. Usually don't stop to take pictures though, having to much fun, or its way to muddy haha. We used to have groups of us that would go and tear up some nice soft earth. Plus I love WOT launching on dirt, its so awesome.











I cant believe I dont have more pics of the wagon dirty offroad :\ (Im always driving)
aftermath


Big fire a few years back.




Rally Pig


Heading out to play.







My friend has a open class rally subaru that is almost unbreakable Ill see if he has some pics to share this is his other "toy"
 
I've taken my car offroading a couple of times, I've been wanting to do it much more frequently but I'm waiting on a friend of mine to buy a 4WD Mitsubishi Delica...

Those pictures of the silvery Legacy recollected me of the one that my dad had in my childhood, and ours just looked like so muddy and snowy from outside too, often plunging into slops and snowy roads on our way to the venue when I used to go skiing with him in the car. :P
 

Thanks I think o_O jk

Thats awesome! Its always a lot of adrenaline filled semi-controlled chaos haha. As soon as there is a blizzard outside we all mounty up and head out to play considering we are always the only people on road.

p.s. the legacy is Satin White Pearl.
 
Nice Subaru's, if I had to get a car, it would be a Subaru, any videos of that thing going through mud? Awd cars are nice for some off road, but when there is a huge tree blocking the road, there might be an issue, got any Ford trucks?

Chillin' with SIC EM in the Rex's natural habitat (plus me in the Scoob :P)

And literally chillin' in its own natural habitat.

And in a very stark contrast, my old bus:

Didn't get any vids with the Zook but for the Pathfinder both my dad and I have GoPros now so watch this space.

And as for SIC EM, she's strictly a city girl ;)

Loving the rims on it. I've got the 8 lug versions painted red and white, in the 16.5" size for the 33s that sitr on them. What size are yours? 16s?
 
Lol, awesome! Have you seen how my bronco did offroad? Surprised me considering its got 31 all terrains, next upgrade, 31 super swampers

Lift it 3 inches and 35s =P Didn't do too bad, I like it. I've had our F250 in water up to the windshield before back when it had a built in snorkel :lol:

I have basically skinny 31s on the truck now (9.25" wide) which are 235x85's. That is the stock size. Much prefer the wider 12.5" 33's.
 
The Sunraysias on the Zook were 16s with Bridgey Desert Dueler 31s IIRC.

The wheels and tyres alone were worth double the cost of what I paid for the whole car. Shows how much the rest of it was worth :D

I believe it. The old tires we used to buy were $400+ a piece not counting painting all 5 rims, not once, but twice, powder coated both times nonetheless, so it was an expensive upgrade lol.

Love the old school wagon wheels :lol:
 
It'll rub with 3 inch lift and 35s, ima need at least 6 inch lift

It shouldn't. You should be able to clear 33s without a lift. Maybe I'm thinking F250 talk though haha.

Yeah, I'm kinda glad the wheels and tyres came with it.

In a way I miss Suzi. She was one ugly mother but she ran good. Unfortunately though we didn't have room to keep 5 cars (if you include my dad's Ford Ranger workbus that appears in a couple of these pics).

This was the Nissan Patrol that the Pathfinder replaced:

Again, pretty extensively modified; but on a recent trip to Tasmania the TD28 just wasn't cutting the mustard when it came to towing the camper trailer along with it's heavy bum. We contemplated fitting a Cummins 6TBA but instead dad decided to go for something new.
 
I don't know if this video still works, I'm on my phone and it isn't available on that for some reason but its a video of a camping / 4WD trip at Levuka with some mates of mine.

Language warning...

 
dang, those things are pretty capable huh. and i like that budget rally car lol. the jeep is cool too. got any action photos of jeep?
 
The Jeep belongs to a buddy of mine, but I have a couple pics of it.

I'm with you. My off road toy is a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon. 2.5 inch lift, quick disconnects, 33x12.5x15 Duratracs amongst other mods. It goes off road all the time. Now if I could just figure out how to post pics...:scared:
 
I play offroad!


'78 International Scout Traveler (ignore the "lift kit" the previous owner had it on, the "fangs" are gone now)
even on almost bald 33" BFG all terrains she refuses to get stuck and the stock 345ci 2brl is enough to ignite them at will *no brake stand required* but will soon be replaced by a 392ci out of a dump truck :P

Easlier this night I took her out to a place called Cedar Butte off highway 6. My son about pissed his pants a few times. No pics unfortunately. It's a good time when you can't leave second gear.
