    Franks isn't very warm. The walls are not that thick. Devin and I froze our ass off when we used it in below 30 temps.

    It would be dryer then a ground tent. Though i wonder how they will fair after multiple days of wet and no drying time...

    Best time for that though, if we so choose, is after sunlight. Detour to Powell, head to the pryors and chop off the first little bit of the Pryors.

    well we could be camping in the snow at Goose really. Not much, but an inch or two. :oops: Plus things will be frozen in the mornings. I've put my dads rtt away half frozen, it sucks ass. Reminds me..i need to pack some nice gloves.

    Kinda a shitty deal..i don't really have a good ground tent anymore to lend.

    Nice! Good to see! Didn't know you had them like that. Quite the angle..

    haha yeah Devin isn't loving it. but she is ready for it.

    be interesting to see for sure. Depending on the weather yours should fair better unless the side get doused.

    Yeah didn't really think about it myself..i used to have leather gloves all the time. But haven't in a while. Gonna get some water proof suckers now!

    Just a random thought on your tent..when you open it, is there a lip on the bottom part of the fiberglass that snow or rain could pool up in? Genuinely curious. Or is it like..flat?

    Yeah it's not optimal, the 63's need at least 12" shocks though. Thinking about trying the TC outboarding kit, I will probably need hellacious wheel spacers though...

    Didn't know you were on 63s. Interesting. so is Derp. See whos flexes best!

    Mike - what callsign am I looking for on APRS as I drive over Sunday - if we're all arriving around the same time at pizza (i.e. if you guys take it slow in the morning), it's possible I could hook up with you guys along the way. I'll be online, when I have cell service. All opportunistically of course, I don't want you guys waiting for me.

    Yeah truck's pretty heavy, the 63's sit pretty flat when loaded.

    It's like 30.5" eye to eye at droop, there's about 1/2" of shaft left. I could easily get another inch of droop if I adjusted the shackle angle, but it rides pretty nice with them kicked way back.
