Cool pic I snapped the next night in a field


My first order of business was blacking out all of the badges and the lower valence bumper






The summer lineup


Drove out to Montana for school


Patriotism and off-roading go together nicely


Not too long after being in Montana this happened, yes my leaf spring shaped in two. It was strange because it was the middle one out of the 3 in the pack. Somehow it snapped, slid out and rested on the axle. Luckily I have the extended warranty so I got it replaced. Talked them into replacing the other side too so it wouldn't lean.


A little mud action


First snow, couldn't help but go adventuring up into the mountains


Also did the muddy wheel mod




Removed the toolbox for the winter and installed a Softopper


Exploring Yellowstone


Decided to mix things up a bit and camouflage my emblem
