The 4Runner

Here is the Runner on the Whipsaw trail in early August 07. The trail was pretty lame according to the boys, but they did find this big puddle that didn't appear to be this deep. The 4Runner was drowned, barely made it home and now has been in pieces in the shop for the last two months awaiting a new motor, a Toyota Supra Turbo 7M something or other, you'll have to ask Paul for details! but we finally got one that came from Japan, and its almost done, just fitting the radiator!
Her is the 4Runner at Walker Valley, I think it was January of 06. The driver window was broken and that door smashed in, then when we got winched up the hill, there was some pretty serious body damage done to the right front fender and door, it was amazing it closed at all. After this trip, the 4Runner got new front fenders and doors. It was a great day for carnage!!

If you look VERY closely, you can see my hand sticking out the passenger window at the top!

I'm not so sure this is the brightest sport...I realize horses eat a lot of hay, but it looks like these puddles and hills eat a lot of truck parts!!! You should by Paul a pony.

I second that idea Stephanie!

JH Training said...

That's funny! I'll tell him!

Paul said horses are a big pain in the butt, whereas cars just do what you ask, when you ask, as long as its within reason (you can ask them to swim, but you saw what happened)

Jennifer says- My horse would have made it through the puddle

JH Training said...

Paul says Jennifer's horse would toss his little head and fall down rather than go through the puddle.
