    Sea damaged home

    Being on the San Andreas Fault line, historically, has the surrounding RP/Cholla Bay area ever experienced a big one? Definitely had at least 2 or 3 5.0's in the last 10 years if I remember correctly. The one a few weeks ago was near 5.0 I believe. North of Santa Clara?

    ATN OFF ROADERS! Perfect Rocky Point Off Road Vehicle - 256k Beware!

    Chinese solders huh? Damn, I must have missed that story on OAN. We went out this weekend on Easter Sunday to go camping at Sheep Bridge. Never had been there before. It was awesome until the truck wouldn't start 20 miles into the wilderness in the Verde River valley. Had to get towed out by a...

    ATN OFF ROADERS! Perfect Rocky Point Off Road Vehicle - 256k Beware!

    We've done it 3 years in a row now. It's a great way to see some of the desert and beach north of town without taking the risk of getting stuck or stranded if you went out exploring alone. We only have 2wd so driving in some of the deep sand and other parts of the run I wish were a little faster...

    ATN OFF ROADERS! Perfect Rocky Point Off Road Vehicle - 256k Beware!

    I would rather go without the other cars so we can go at a faster pace but when or if you break it's nice to have the others for help and support. One of the reasons why we don't go out exploring more. I think a couple of cars is the middle ground. Peace of mind but still somewhat isolated.

    In review, the cycle of the suspension at full droop, the axle tube is 21" from the frame rail. At full bump the axle is 4" from the frame rail. That gives us 17" of unstrapped wheel travel in the rear of this truck. Excellent numbers for a decent desert truck. I installed the limit strap to...

    Had to install an extended length brake line to the rear. No pictures taken unfortunately and limit straps.

    4" between axle tube and frame rail at full bump. About a half inch of shock shaft still showing to compensate for the poly bump "give".

    At this point the old stock Toyota spring over perches have been cut off of the axle. The leaf packs have been put back together and everything has been fully welded. The bumps hit the axle in the exact spot they used to which is where the stock Toyota leaf perch was that I cut off. The bumps...

    Now all we needed to do is box the upper shock mount and cut tacks off of the frame rails so we can pull the cage out and fully weld and paint it. Also up next is installing the bump stops pictured above at the bottom of the picture.

    ATN OFF ROADERS! Perfect Rocky Point Off Road Vehicle - 256k Beware!

    Decided to scrap the original idea and go all the way official with a little bed cage upper shock mount. The bed cage ties into the Toyota frame at two different spots on each side respectively. The cage is made from DOM .095 wall tubing. This is two fold system that strengthens the back of the...
