    So I finally got a new camera. I picked up a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS with some Birthday Money and some credit card points cashed in for Best Buy Gift Cards. Not bad really. I walked out of Best Buy with Camera, Extra Battery, carrying bag, and a 32GB card for only $50 out of my pocket.

    Now I have a ton to learn about taking pictures again. I was playing with it in the yard and got a couple of pics of our "kids":

    Tango

    I think it will do just fine.

    Next up some better pics of the truck! :p

    So what do you think? Test fitting some center caps on the F-5 wheels from SCS. I need to figure out a mounting solution still but:

    Updated page one with a more recent pic as of this past weekend. Here are few shots from a Saturday night run up to a local trail called Slaughter house to see how everything works. Went with Jace (Lotsoftoys).

    IMG_0120_zpse0d5334c_497a1ac25bd5f9ec427af40980d482c4d133a6ba.jpg

    I have some more trimming work to do this Saturday on the fronts. They are rubbing pretty good at the bottom and still a bit on the body mount.

    SCS-4_zps8b637181_60432af4c5d94f756a860f0ddd07a3e593314ad9.jpg

    The rears are clearing just fine. I could actually rework my entire rear suspension and get some more stuff because I do have the room. But it is functioning great as is right now so I am just going to leave it alone. In the shot below the bumpstop is hitting the frame.

    IMG_0146_zpsbfd6c344_9d8564edd46938b79cb88373267806abaa6f7f04.jpg

    And a few trail shots

    IMG_0170_zps53ed470b_385c36397c54dec913dabe7a0568ebe2338e6a5d.jpg

    We stopped to help some teenagers that got a stock Avalanche stuck in a mud pit. It took Jace winching from his truck and his truck hooked to mine to get the truck loose. So we didn't get off of the trail until after 9pm.
