    When I inherited the truck it came with a snugtop that I'd love to keep. Would offloading destroy it? I originally wanted todo mt due to cost but I didn't know much about it so I'm going through alot now

    Yeah man i'm up there a lot in the summer to wheel on the rubicon. Or sometimes i'll take a quick day trip on the ducati through georgetown to stumpy meadows to uncle toms cabin. < thats also a great snow run as the plow line stops at Quintett. Then there's university falls in quintett... I love it up there.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Jerry has a camper and drives the piss out of his truck. Just make sure it's attached good and no problem. I've seen MT guys rock a camper with no problem. I'd suggest going with AP Expo leaf pack though if you're keeping the camper and adding any other weight.

    Its not the hardest trail around but its no cakewalk either. While i wanna say keep a 2wd as far away as possible i did see some 2wd dunebuggies on the 'Con last time i was out. It honestly looked like a horrible time though.
    But no 2wd taco is making it through. For 2wd fun go-fast dezert/dune missions is the only way to optimize fun in the dirt.

    Got my lift, tires, and wheels on. Who wants to do a snow wheeling trip again? Bear valley (?)?

    edit:Wow, that was actually a little over 2 years ago now. Back in November of 2010. Who's down for snow wheeling in February?

    Would anyone Like to trade my color match gray satoshi for their factory color match gray grill? My Satoshi has a couple of scratches on a corner but they are minimal. I'm just tired of the Satoshi and want something diffrent.

    That happened to me on hwy 80 near vacaville with a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 inch MDF off the top of a work truck near vacaville on my 600RR. As it lifted off the truck in front of me I tucked and just pinned the throttle. On the same ride back to Santa Rosa another truck lost a 4x4 diagonally across the road on 12/121 through sonoma, which I also throttled and popped the front up and rear tire almost slid out mid-turn. THEN, I had a squirrel run out like 5 miles ahead, which I thought I missed, but ripped in half and chunks of bloody fur were in my radiator, and when I got 1 mile from my house I stopped at a light at the bottom of the hill to my house and my bike shut off. When I ran over the 4x4 it jostled the main electrical connector. I had to get towed home the last mile.

    LONGEST DAY EVER!!!

    Shit falling off vehicles has always scared the shit out of me.

    I've been hit by boxes (took the mirror off the bike) and I've missed any number of pieces from vehicles and things like ladders terrify me.
