Hobbies....

I'm curious folks, what do you do for a hobbie/recreation, what is your "therapy"?

For me, it's 4x4's and rock crawling, nothing competitive, just a bunch of friends that hit the local off-road park once or twice a month to go rock crawling and trail riding and get away from it all for some R&R. The coolest part for me is both my sons(15&18) have 4x4's and enjoy it it as well. Lots of time well spent together. My project for the past 6 years has been an '83 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler, it started out stock and slowly over the past 6 years I've built it to the point it's at, 90% of it was built by me in my driveway. It's also one of the reasons I bought a Tundra, I need something to tow it with and the Tundra fit the bill perfectly.

If the posts relate to members using their Tundra, why not. As BlkTundra says, "It's also one of the reasons I bought a Tundra, I need something to tow it with and the Tundra fit the bill perfectly."

That's an awesome comp rig! Specs? I think you'll like how the Tundra pulls, with my rig on an 18' bumper hitch, I'm at about 7k, the Tundra pulls it with ease and is very stable.

Thats and old pic the color has changed and the stickers and some of the body work to meet regs of WeRock and the suspension has changed a bunch of times.

Specs stock 4.0, 700r4. atlas II, d60 rear, ARB,4.88 gears, 35 spline axles, custom 4 link with 14" coil overs, front d44hp, detroit, 35 spline axles, d60 outers, custom 3 link with 16" coil overs. I built in a month to get ready for our first comp and have not stopped working to improve it since.

That's sweet! Just out of curiosity, a guy I know from Topeka, Ks, also competes in WeRock, his name is Marc White and drove a 2 seater buggy called "rockhumper" and I think he ran a single seat buggy called the Lizard for the past couple years, just curious if you may have met him.
