Finally got around to doing this so I could have one spot to write everything down and keep track of it all. Better late then never! Feel free to ask any questions or talk crap lol.

Little bit about me, Been in the Navy for 10 years now, Married, have a 9 year old Daughter, 2 cats and a European Doberman named Kilo! I have way to many hobbies. Currently stationed in San Diego. I go wheeling a lot, camping, hunting, fishing, ride motorcycles/track days, diving, photography and just about anything else that get's me outside! Hope to see you guys out on the trails!

Wheeling with the pup then beach day with my lady

 

Found a nice little camp spot up In the mountain area. Hopefully get to camp out here soon. Next camp trip in a few days will be on the beach. Leaving the island soon so have to get as much beach time as I can

 

Went out this weekend and got just a liiiitle stuck in the clay out here. Couldn't get it to fling off the tires. Would just collect more like a damn snowball.


I'm not stuck right here, was about another 100 yds up the trail. There was a small steep incline with a 4 foot drop off on the right side.

 

Homeboy just recently hit 5 months old. Pushing 52 lbs!

 

Little collab with hot wheels



(I wish)

 

Conquered this hill pretty easily. Going back down was a little sketchier

 

Send it

 

Got any pics of your truck ?

 

are those stock tail lights?

 

Yup! All lights are stock minus my fog lights in my bumper.

 

That’s real cool!

 

Yup, all stock still. I’m got Sema wheels waiting to go on, just waiting till I decided on a tire and small lift. Also have black emblems to put on. Keeping it pretty mild

 

Love that color. Wheels/tires make a huge difference in looks. Tires, my stock ones actually did better than I thought but these A/Ts are really helping out. I may try M/Ts next since im moving to CA and plan on doing a lot more than I am right now. Any idea on lift ?

 

I can’t wait, probably gonna stick with 265/70/17. I’m leaning towards Falkens. I’m really happy with the color, not quite as easy to keep clean as my silver 2nd Gen though ! I’m thinking Bilsteins and an aal !

 

Sweet build man! I'm the guy that took the astro photo in Moab. My camera settings were f3.5, 2500 ISO, 30 sec shutter, and 0 EV. I also have a sony, the a7. I've been contemplating a sharper lens, but the problem is me. I can never get those razor sharp images I see in landscape photography. I need to try the focus stacking technique one day.

 

Truck is looking great!

 

Nice! I think 265 still have a very good stance. I’m running a AAL in the rear right now until I get my high clearance rear once I get to Cali very soon! . Then I’ll have to decide on what pack I want. I love my falkens, preform very well and have a great price point. Probably going to give M/Ts a shot here soon as well. Seen a lot of good reviews on how long they last. Keeping a black truck clean is very hard lol. Wish I had a cement. Bilsteins will do great.

 

Thank you! I appreciate it. Far from done . About to change the look up a bit pretty soon.
