Looks like lots of fun Spencer!

 

Ran down to scope out the trail conditions for this weekends group ride. Met a crawler and a SxS out there.

 

Yavapai County near Seligman

 

I hit Cleghorn in Hesperia, CA last weekend for a proper shakedown run with my new 5.29 gears, 35s and trimmed fenders. No rubbing while flexed out, but the fronts do hit the top of the fender wells on hard hits at speed. Gonna have to tub for fast desert running, but it's fine for slow wheeling and crawling. Can't believe what a difference 35s make over 285s, the thing just walks over anything in its path and the ride is much more plush.

The new gears are a game changer too - I feel like the truck is more responsive and crawls slower with 5.29s and 35s than it did with stock tires and gears. Getting tuned next, which should really wake up the throttle response.

 

Vermilion Cliffs, Wire Pass hiking trail and Logandale outside of Las Vegas.

Ran around Koh last week, and cruised back home and went to Tahuya to do a couple of the new rock lines.

 

Took the day off work to spend clearing downed trees from last weeks ice storm off some of the trails in preparation for tomorrows group ride. To busy to stop for any photo ops but I did snap one out the windshield on a slick downgrade and another of my trail buddy, our foster dog Riddick.

 

Went out to Folsom Lake to find they were having a bike race and they closed back half of lake. Settled on a spot near the boat ramps. Before I left I wanted to see if I could drive out to Dotons point. Did, and found a nice rock to plant my tire on.

 

Testing

Water still pretty low? Haven’t been out there for awhile..!! Truck looks good!!

 

Great shot. What front bumper you running?

 

Went out the the local ocean front trail, always good views!

 

Dang, Mackyo! Why you gotta flex on us like that!?! ...Stunning!

 

It is a Victory 4x4 Blitz bumper. Only two small cuts to fit it and is simple to back the stock configuration.

 

Land search in WNC. We ended at Bryson City.

 

Rattlesnake Canyon from Johnson Valley to Big Bear. Great easy to moderate trail with a lot of optional offshoots to test out our rigs. Had a broken valve stem and a damaged to a 4runner. Time for a steel bumper. Full trail review.
