    Yeah, it's too girthy for me...

    Seriously, my buddy had a Dolphin camper. The 22re struggles with that thing, but it goes. Inside is so spacious compared to what I'm used too. Agoraphobia would set in quickly.

    Trip report!
    Went skiing:
    IMG_3936.jpg
    (Apparently I skied with Brett Dennen all day, for reals)

    It was a good time but then the real adventure started.

    Overlanding home!
    IMG_3901.jpg

    Found some snow for sick brodies:
    IMG_3905.jpg

    Climbed a rock like a rock... star!
    IMG_3909.jpg

    I was like that's weak newb so I climbed his mega bro rock:
    IMG_3913.jpg

    Took a drive down to the lake to warn the fish that I was coming for them, later:
    IMG_3920.jpg
    IMG_3921.jpg

    Had to ford the fjord to get out of the parking lot:
    IMG_3928.jpg

    Found some DIY firewood:
    IMG_3927.jpg

    Asked a guy about some tires and he was all like "those are tractor tires". What a newb. Anyway a I can only dream about being a vet on a sweet set of these:
    IMG_3925.jpg

    I also found a shoe tree:
    IMG_3930.jpg


    Now I'm home enjoying a cold one.
    :cheers:

    Edit: I'd like to also note I passed 1000 post! :humble:

    I'm going to have to check his music out. I've actually never heard it. My friend (other guy in the photo) knows him somehow.

    Anyway he's a cool dude and a good skier.

    Snow today was epic until about noon then the sun turned it into cement. So I took my time getting home hence the trip report...

    jesus @VolcomTacoma how did we not do a trip report from two weeks ago!?

    The group meeting after we got lost attempting to find a starbucks. ugg boots and latte's were on the menu. Not this sand bullshit.

    [​IMG]

    Heres Jeff attempting to drive over this hill to lookout but alas, was too steep.

    [​IMG]

    Someone said over the radio that Starbs was having a 2 for 1 special and i was out!

    [​IMG]

    I got a little too nervous and scared with all this light powdery substance flying everywhere and attempting to rush back to the parking lot

    [​IMG]

    On the way back Jeff saw a spider and got the hell out of there

    [​IMG]

    That was all, not too shabby for some fkn newbs but now my vehicle is dirty and all this sand came home with me. Wheres the nearest car wash?!

    Anyone do a differential drop without a lift? I'm worried about cv binding.

    I really like the dozer look but I still want to get in and out of my truck.

    Pics welcome.

    Why would you do a diff drop without lift? If you're at stock height the CVs are optimized right where they are.

    I drive a 3rd gen. I like to keep it real.

    My goal is to drag the front end on everything, including "aggressive" obstacles like the speed bump at my gym.


    Edit disclaimer: I've been reading the 3rd gen section and I was seriously considering asking that question there just for the lol's. The sad thing is it wouldn't be too far out of place.
