The Green Goon in the So Cal High Desert

[greengoon]

Hey everyone,

I've had my 2000 SE for 9 years now. She's been great to me. I lived in the Mountains for 8 of those years and she was awesome in the snow. There have been numerous occasions where my car was the only one that could easily get around during some big storms before the plows got to us. She just got over 200,000 miles and still runs like a champ.

I just finished a Calmini SAS.
'88 wagoneer Dana44, Trac lock, with Fox adjustable coil overs on the front.
Leaf over, '96 Isuzu Rodeo Dana 44 with disc brakes, Detroit locker, and Fox racing shock on the rear.
5.13 gears 33 x 12.5 R15 Cooper Discoverer STTs
Calmini pre-runner bumper.

She was a great truck stock! She's even better now!

Welcome to the nation, you'll fit in just fine haha.

 

[greengoon]

Yeah, my bother posted it on facebook. He's a Bronco guy but he helped a little with the build and he's just as proud of my rig as I am.

A few people hit him up and told him I needed to join the nation. I've been on SCCX for a while.

I used to ski at Mountain High way back in the day. Now I snowboard when and where I can.

 

[greengoon]

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Mt. High is fun for a couple of runs before or after work. It's really great on a powder day when people don't want to drive up the hill. On the best days the drive up is just as fun as the runs on the slopes.

Good lookin X! How do you like that Calmini bumper? I have seen it a few times, but never heard any feedback about it.

 

[greengoon]

I love it. It's strong, has a great approach angle, there is a lot of room behind it for a winch. I also like the look better than a massive plate bumper.

I relocated the washer reservoir under the hood and that really cleaned up the look.

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

Did you end up going with one from a Pathfinder? I just picked one up for just that purpose.

 

[greengoon]

No, I got mine out of a Mazda. It fits perfectly in the top right corner under the hood.

Nice to see U goon, Just an FYI, I am DannyX on SCCX. Hope to see you soon on some local runs soon.

 

[greengoon]

Good to see you here too Danny. I'd like to meet more people from SCCX soon. It's just tough for me because I usually work weekends. I might be able to sneak onto a snow run some time.

[greengoon]

I'm happy to be here. It's cool to see trucks from all over the country.
