    Since I like to organize... blah blah blah...

    To make it easy for us to be all nostalgic about the good ol' times wheeling but not have to go through a million threads for each meet, I propose an official photo thread!

    Also, so we arent taking forever to load pictures on the BS thread when all we want to do is type up a few words of BS....

    So throw up whatever taco meet pics you have here... or wherever. But mostly here :)

    Sad I missed it, but my front wheel bearings went out and have spent the last few days installing new hubs, spindles, bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, brake pads, rotos, and calipers. Next is the tranny and I'm back to 100% can't wait for the next meet

    I went back there again today, found a Ford in the same spot I was stuck.

    I tried going around him and fell through
    [​IMG]

    That Ford almost made it out. There was recovery gear scattered all around, straps, axe, jack. Looks like it was abandoned after a long and unsuccessful attempt. Chains on-didn't help. Pretty sad sight. It's going to be tough getting it out, it's frozen in.

    That thing looks brand new!! Looks like a tiny tug and he's all good, let that be a lesson why you don't wheel alone! It could cost you a lotta monies!!! Let alone you/ your families health and safety

    Yes, it was abandoned there and frozen solid. It looked like they were there for a while trying to get out, they even had two fires going right on the trail, probably trying to stay warm.
    Yeah, rule number one, don't go wheeling alone, and I broke that rule yesterday, but lucky for me, I didn't get stuck

    Whenever I see these AK pics I want to go wheel there.. but when it drops below 50 here I act like the planet is freezing over.
