    C'mon Ben you can mix up the 5 Mike's but not Mike and Coby! Haha. And speaking of Mike, the drive wasn't bad for me. I left at 0622 and hit the Muldoon gate by 0645. I could've went faster but I just kept about 45-50, and came across one stretch with 2 wrecks that slowed down to 20ish. The girlfriend on the other hand left at 0700 and didn't get to work down by Lake Otis and Tudor until 0830!!! Town was nuts apparently. I also live like 100ft from the Chugiak line but clear weather I can still hit base by 15mins

    Would anyone be interested in buying some maxtrax? I have an opportunity to bring some up but I'd need to pre-sell them. I was impressed with them when we went out two weeks ago. Will be posting pics and video soon.

    :popcorn: I've always thought they are a great self recovery tool. Kind of bulky to carry but well worth it I'm sure.

    Lots of carry options though. I'm putting mine on my spare tire. I don't need 6 though, so i have one set for sale currently. Pm me if you're interested.

    Lol, as with most things on your truck, they were free... Apparently it pays to make good friends, with good resources.
    Tyler those tail lights are probably the reason that Ben and I started talking (and then realized we had family connections from 10 years back) but the taillights and my old spacer lift are how we officially became friends. :)

    They are 300 a pair I believe, however my current set will go for $275. It's not one of the ones we used. I'm keeping both of those. The other set still has tywraps on it.
