    None taken..............I think. :eek:

    Matter-of-factly speaking, I am driving the BIL's Jeep since the Tundy is getting new snealers.

    It's lifted 6", has 33 inchers (measured when new of course), won't go above 60, and can't shake the spots off a dalmation.

    We are working on it. I think between him and I, we have bitten off more than we can chew.

    Project list
    -88 Yota (primarily me): Finish front of motor and test
    -73 Scout II (primarily him): well..................everything
    -98 Yamaha Grizzly (joint effort): top end rebuild
    -His Mom's porch
    -My Mom's porch
    -My GF's Mom's porch
    -Fishing
    -Riding previously listed quads






    What the hell is with all the porches?

    I feel bad that I can't make it, especially since I started this thread, but at least you guys will have a lot of company out there with the OK4WD folks on the trails. :)

    -F the porches (unless they are unsafe)
    -I don't fish so that doesn't register as a priority to me

    Ben, my buddy Greg, Andrew I (Chad bailed) went to Rausch today. It was cold, wet and foggy. Had a great time and did about 17 miles on the trail (small groups move really well). Minimal damage to the truck (small dent, bent fender flare). Here's a couple of pics:

    And back out of the quarry:

    Greg seemed to like the deep stuff:

    Same spot, but I drug WAY more hard stuff across the rock than you did. Ben thought I might lose the rear axle.

    And for the record, you also tested the new skids on that. They passed.

    Wish I went. I was beat from work, and slept all day. From the pics, it seems like my stock truck would have taken a little beating on the trails. I need to get some work done.
