    Got the brake lines on tonight. Haven't had a chance to flex her out yet. I will say that having 27/32nds of an inch of tread is quite nice. This thing is a blast on the ice and snow.

    Going to run it where it sits right now as far as height goes but will lower the upper chamber when I start running trails. For now the stance is perfect. Need to throw the tent back on for more weight in the bed and also to figure out how accessible the zippers are with the awnings attached. Start dialing in that system so when the sportsman show comes around, I'm ready for display.

    The 12th-18th. My father in law rented a ranch down there for us so I think I'll be pretty tied up going out on the side by sides but if I can break free at all, would love to come to one of the AZ meets.

    Looks good!

    Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I'd get that winch rope wound up. I foresee some dickhead cutting it off. Or having it unwind when you're driving.
