    Really 'preciate the words, David. I'm very fortunate to have my job and wouldn't give it up for anything but a better job :) Can't wait for the next run- most likely won't be on call.

    I refuse to look at any pictures posted. Gotta give it a few weeks.

    The blow sand at the base of the steeper road to the top bogged me down a few times (my tires were at 38 psi cold)... So this is funny to see a rooster tail from my front/ left tire (good thing my window was rolled up)!


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD17GSziykM&feature=player_embedded

    When I first tried to make the climb, I noticed my A-TRAC was off... so this may have been that time? In low range, the torque is so great that the truck just wants to dig into the sand. I went into high range and took a run... made it halfway to where the rockface blocked me. I then shifted into low range/ A-TRAC on and easily climbed to the top.

    The easier road to the left is still tough, but Matt made it in 2WD... His General Grabbers are a huge help, too.

    Well, after breaking the washer and bushing on my ToyTec coilover we finally made it to Greg's house to take them off and hopefuuly get them fixed asap. But bit was to late for any shops. So being the badass he is Greg stepped up and let me use his EMU/5100 set up untill i can get mine fixed. They worked out well. almost the same exact height that i already had. Also we removed the fender flares on both sides do to me losing one.

    Thank you so much Gregero for the use of your garage and the use of your coilovers and especially for all the help you gave me. and thanks to Chris and RJ for there help as well. Couldnt have done it without your guys's help.:D
