    Man, just put the spare in the truck by myself... never again. That thing has to weigh well over 125 lbs. I couldn't budge it dead lifting, and ended up using three other tires as a ramp to roll it up on top of two tires tall, then got in the truck and bear hugged it to roll it in basically on top of me almost. It's staying in there for a long time. G'dang.

    Anywho, loaded up finally, topped off the front diff with gear oil, rear fill plug is rounded, hope it's fine. It was full when I checked it a couple of weeks ago, and the leak hasn't gotten any worse, no major puddles or anything resembling lots of oil leaking out, so I think it's fine.

    ^^^ agreed. Needs to be smaller like last time. Maybe next time though. I also think we need to do another whole weekend there. Maybe September, October when it cools off some

    You mean THIS?

    11 trucks. I think the get together was fine, but the trails would have been easier if we had started off splitting into 2 groups.

    [​IMG]

    I vote for another weekend long trip to Cullman. We barely scratched the surface of all the available trails we could have gone down. October/November would be nice, if that doesn't work, then put it off until February and make it our annual Mods and Meets gathering?

    Yup, 5-6 trucks all with well tuned CB's was a good way to do it after lunch. Jeep jokes aside, I enjoyed wheeling with you guys. At a minimum having a good radio with the lead and tail gunner worked well when it was the small group just Brian, Matt, PreRunner Dude, and Me, to be able to at least say when the group had cleared an obstacle and stuff.

    Yup. That would be the culprit.

    Just watched all of my video, and the only good video I got was the very first trail we went down. 90% of my video is us standing around or fixing trucks lol
