    I'm still down for the trip. I am a bit worried though that my skids won't get here in time and the fact that since my truck is a prerunner, I'm limited to some of the trails. No e-locker. ( which is fine with me ) I just wanna hit up Utah again haha

    What topic? Good thing you have me around to keep everyone's thoughts focused.

    Past weekend.
    - Oil change to synthetic.
    - Finished snorkel (thanks Brian and Scotty!)
    - Changed diff and transfer cases to synthetic oil.
    - Three washers each under driveline.
    - Changed cabin filter.
    - Drilled hole and remounted back up camera to top of shell.

    Helped with refitting Scotty's bumpers over at Brians (at least till I broke the damn titanium drill bit tip in the bumper). Anyone got some diamond tip drill bits we can borrow?????

    Recovery is nice, but my mindset was to maximize my time out there. It's so far, gotta make the most of it. The drive back is brutal once you get into the flat boring mid-west states though.

    White Rim is an easy trail, they only place you "need" 4WD is going up some steep inclines for 4Lo. Other than that it's a rough road. Probably a totally different story when wet though. It's a LONG trail too. I did the same thing, 3/4 and 1/4 and that 3/4 day is long. Especially if you like to stop, take pictures, look around, etc. The scenery along it is unreal though. I highly recommend White Rim.

    Lots of current pics from White Rim in my trip report here.

    That is expensive.

    By the way, doesn't look like we will be camping on white rim.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    Whats up, just got truck back. I'm def going. Already got the book, will start reading it soon. let me know what I need to do.
