    Finally got around to mounting my roof rack. Came out good. Next is to make mounts for my fuel cans, get shovel and axe mounts and finally some led bars for the left, right and rear


    It's nice to be able to use the over head crane in the hangar. Made life a lot easier.

    So last night me and a friend decided to go knik for a massive meet. There was over 40 rigs out there and some of them were very impressive in size. I was able to to make it to the glacier with no problems way easier than last weekend. Every spot we had water was frozen wish you all could have made it. The drive on the old Glenn was the hardest part of the trip as soon as we got to the Glenn two jeeps in front of me one turning left the other to the right slide into the ditch but were able to rally out.

    Nice. I saw on the FB event for it that the troopers closed the bridge at one point until DOT could come out due to ice. I wanted to go but already had plans. I'm sure there was some badass rigs out there though I'd love to see snowbear's truck in person

    It was very impressive looked like it could go anywhere. They closed the bridge right after we crossed so we got lucky

    Got my alternative to a high lift jack today from a company called safe jack. It's a 6ton jack and it fits in the factory location. Comes with the extensions so you arent over extending and the flat plate and frame /tubing adapter too

    That looks pretty slick. My factory jack is barely usable since lifting and will only be worse when I get bigger tires. Might have to look into one of those.

    We just had a driller at our state shop quit... so if anyone is looking for a job playing with one of these:

    [​IMG]

    Let me know and I can get you some info. I think starting pay with no experience is somewhere around $15 to $20. Overtime happens a fair bit. There is a fair bit of physical labor involved. You work all over the state. And sometimes I am your boss :p I think all you need is the ability to get your CDL.

    Just figured i would throw it out there in case anyone was interested!
