The last time I tackled Porters Rd in my old FJ55 (33"'s, locked, small lift and a 253). I drowned it in one of the holes at the bottom. Didn't have my clutch cover on. So nothin but 1st low and slow or it would just spin after that.
Then I managed to rip the sills open on the rock you had to drive over half way along the bottom.
After that , on the exit hill I launched over a boulder near the top, landed on another boulder which had a disagreement with the rear tail shaft (2 pieces now) and tore all the bolts off the rear axel bar 1. Starting to get dark also.
I managed to convinse the old man to crawl under the house, find my old spare shaft and deliver it at Porters Rd. A lot of hand winching to get the spare shaft in and manage to screw in a spare bolt in the axel and I got out of there after 9pm. We started at 9am.
Gotta luv having an old bus you dont care if you dent or break.
