    It looks innocent enough, but it was slicker'n snot on a glass door knob. Off camber on the right side. Dirty Deeds went up first. Not all that tough. 2nd vehicle got off the side and looked like he was gonna roll. I got behind him and we ran my winch line up to a snatch block and pulled him off the slick off camber. Then I drove up it like it was flat ground. (Because mud tires)

    2TRunner went next. Just the right amount of momentum and he hung to the left (in the good line) by then, we had all the goodie spun off the good line. Everyone else slid to the bad side and had to be winched. The angle of the camera shot takes away from how steep it is. And there is a big whoop in the middle that takes away any ground speed unless you had 100% commitment. Some pretty good trucks/drivers had problems.

    This was me going up the same hill.....After I winched the 3rd gen up, I backed down about 3/4ths the way, then took off back UP the hill. Looked easy. Just a matter of getting some momentum and staying away from the right side.

    The spot that actually stopped everyone was about the point you first see my truck. By the time Everett got his camera rolling, I was past the tough part. @2TRunner did an excellent job. The power of :rasta: in action!

    Indeed above.

    I was quite hesitant about going after watching the first stocker. Been in that position before.

    Vid of my run does make it seem much easier than it was.

    My green baby said "Hey, dickhead, I'm still here and I like mods too"

    So I said "Ok green truck"

    Bought this LED light bar, give it shot. Would really enjoy having some big time light up front.

    Also got a nice pretty little switch for my Green Baby/Light bar.

    Grab a blue sea fuse block Wed or something. Try and get some tires on this thing too. Current tires are shit.

    Did the new tire thing yesterday. Was dark when I got home. Dark this morning. Get a pic or two up here soon.

    Went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 in 265/75/16.
