    I was checking them out I’m not sure there is a difference in the front section of the truck back to the t-case and think everything changes after that , as far as how hard I’m going to wheel ??? Time will tell but I’d rather be over protected that under .

    I run 1/4 inch ifs and trans skids, and don't see myself ever needing to change them. My tcase skid is 3/16, that may need love after some hard wheeling.

    They aren't BA MF though... because I'm one of those "cheap 1st gen bastards, that wont spend money on their truck" (I think that quote is pretty close to the original quote)

    Ok... so, change in plans. Because what would an epic trip be without a bit of flying by the seat of your pants. Was thinking, this opportunity doesn't present it's self often.

    Here is the original States we would have hit on our trip.Capture st.jpg

    Green being actual route, red being a side trip 17 States in 8 days is a pretty good number. BUT... Jen has already been to TX, OK, NM, AZ... so fuck that, that's boring. We gotta get her in to States she hasn't been yet.


    So here's the new map.

    Capture jj.jpg

    24 States in 9 days... Green is actual route, red is side trips.

    That's more fitting of the epic-ness we are capable of. Yes, I do have a habit of overloading my hummingbird ass while planning trips. It's my reputation. I've earned it. I embrace it. Better to have too much to do, than not enough... those are words to live by.
