    At the time, when I was in California, registration renewal was outrageous. So I had Wisconsin plates sent to my parents house in Wisconsin and they mailed them to me. How are the renewal rates now?

    That is true, they will hit. I would try and see if the 17 inch versions fit because I do not recommend grinding the caliper to people. That are go with some wheel spacers like spidertrax.

    I shaved the calipers on mine to get them to fit. They are the ones that Wheelers sells that are also the Pro Comps.

    Dont have pics and I shaved basically where the rim came into contact with the caliper. I just did it a hair at a time so it did take a long time to get it just right. That is why i do not recommend it to anybody. I may be changing up the brakes here in the next year but that will include new wheels to go on as well.

    Got done with homework and proceeded to find some spots to do a little wheeling on base.

    Deepest water got was maybe 18 inches.

    On the beach near the LCAC station. If you are driving on the 5 past Camp Pendleton and see a large "GO NAVY" on the ocean side of the 5, then this is close to where I was.

    If you look closely, one of my Lightforce lights was bent. Went through some rough brush and bent it along with the light cover. I actually ran over the cover and was able to put it back on with little to no damage to the cover.

    Awesome pictures! I guess the truck had a safe trip across the water.

    Went out to Ocotillo Wells this past Saturday. Never been there before so it was fun. Main goal was to see the progress of the desert wildflower bloom. Another few more weeks until the wildflowers are in full bloom. I am gonna head out again in late February or early March.

    There was some trail damage to the truck. Large dent and scratch to the passenger side. Was stuck for a few hours. Hi-lift was employed several times. Rear bumper is scratched all to hell. Front skid plate endured a few hits. Good times.

    Shovel, hi-lift and rocks. Lots of rock stacking. It was rough. Deficiencies were identified and will be corrected this year!

    No, but I should. The valve stems on one of the tires got mangled up pretty good.
