    Make sure you know how to use all the gear, and where to hook onto your truck safely as well.

    Throw in a small tarp (in case you have to sit or lay in snow), charcoal lighter fluid and a lighter (maybe with some scrap paper to light as well if it is a short lighter like cigarette or zippo).

    From personal experience, leveling boards (typically for use with trailers) do not work for traction boards. I've tried several times, never with success.

    As long as it's after the 6th, I'd be game to join. Last I was out there, they'd been doing a good bit of work. Eager to see what's changed.

    Do people travel East of the mountains much for camping and wheeling? Would like to go out there for a weekend trip, but not alone.
    Never visited the eastern side
    Of the mountains.

    I am almost every weekend in the summer. Hard to find good trails on the west side besides walker and now Tahuya. East side is so much better than the west side..

    @bobsuruncle you asked if I stretched the suspension out recently.. went over to my old shop today to do some stretches and check limits.... need to adjust the bumpstops. Also will need new wheels when I go to 35s.... look how close the skinny are to the shock

    I'd definitely be up for this as well. I've been there once before but only as a passenger. Would be fun to try the easier section(s)...

    Would definitely be up for the camping part. I'm most familiar with the Winthrop area, but willing to go almost anywhere. Not sure where there's any wheeling though, but I'd be interested in finding some easy trails as well.

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Is it the camera angle, or does your front not stuff as far as it used to?

    Mmmmmmm that's gooood. I love it when the tire drops below the body line. Yeah you're getting a bit of inversion on the leafs. Not terrible, but just a bit of adjustment there. You didn't move the shackle hangers forward did you, a little inversion there it looks. Mines still that way. Need to move mine forward and drill the new holes too.

    Different angles not putting as much weight on the front end. The pic here shows nose down on a hill pushing more into front springs. New pics show nose up, pushing more to back springs.

    Thanks Cam, it's good to be back home.

    Anyone else tear some extra holes in their pockets this holiday? I hadn't spent any $ on truck gear since last spring so I gifted myself 75' of masterpull winch extension line and a factory55 expert flatlink. The extension offers up a bit more piece of mind and the flatlink is mostly just a bit of eyecandy.

    What did brown santa bring yall?
