So nice videos. I am curious on a few things there Eric:

• Is that you T Case skid plate crossmember? And if yes where is your T case skid plate?
• Is you winch line still that Viking line you got from me?
• What do you think of the ST MAXX tires after that trail?

And WOOT! I still see a certain decal on your truck.

 

I took my skids off after Moab. Sick to death of the exhaust rattling on it. (yes, I still need a re-route)

Only put the front skid back on and never removed the crossmember for the tcase skid. That was dumb.

Same winch line yes. Used it for a few pulls now.

tires are fine. they're no michelins, but they're fine.

Here are the michelins on that same trail

 

Thanks @Jrazzle, now I know exactly what the issue is. Time to see if I can get those front tires pushed forward with an alignment

 

Jones Pass is open, and has been for a little while it appears. Last minute trip with @iRideMTB

 

Good pics man!

we have any runs coming up this coming weekend? I guess I should ask that in upcoming events thread...or BS thread..

 

Great pics! Thanks for getting me out there today. Scenery and views were amazing.

I managed to get a few good pics and will get them up tomorrow when I have my laptop on.

 

Upcoming events

 

I finally got around to looking at the pictures I took on the Bill Moore lake and Bard creek trails way back in June. Not many turned out but here's what I got. They aren't @Jrazzle or @aero3685 quality but that just gives me something to shoot for. Found one specifically for @Tacoma SS since he has been looking for pics of his rig.

 

I seriously need to replace my steering rack so I can get out.....

 

Haha learned a valuable lesson that day. Lockers + snow + camber = boo boos!

Thanks for the pic!

 

no problem...actually, i have the same problem. I'm at about 2.5 degrees caster, but i like the stability running 75mph vise having a little fender rub on the weekends. Long travel or a SAS will solve that problem

 

Here's a few pics I took on Jones Pass with @aero3685 yesterday.



And here's that little guy again. Stopped his snacking and asked Brandon "What choo lookin' at?"

 

Snow!?

 

Yeah, I guess that's the section that still wasn't clear a few weeks back when aero3685 attempted to get to the top.

Here is a link for some photos that David (gent in the 4 Runner) took on Saturday while we ran plane crash:

He isn't on TW yet, but asked that I put the link on here for all of us to use. I told him we would all give credit where it is due if his photos are used for anything.

 

Yea I saw that, he wasn't able to get any good photos of me flexing on that last rock section either... Oh well, better luck on the next trail

 

It was plowed within the last week or so.

 

Did/mapped Sheridan Hill... not used much, real rocky and slow. Then up Kingston Peak, then over to Loch Lomond. It was overcast until I got up to the top of Kingston then it was mostly sunny for a while.

3 hours into the trek, I saw the first vehicle/person I had seen since leaving the pavement. Go figure, I knew him! I only saw him plus one hiker on the entire length of the Sheridan/Kingston trails. Saw five vehicles at Loch Lomond... two on their way out, and three while at the lake.
