    Seriously where do you find these gifs?! I swear you have one for everything:eek:
    I haven't ever had any:pout: My wife makes plenty of delicious garbage food for me to eat though:D
    Nope.
    I'd give mike a run for his money for sure! If I cut my timbrens in half I could probably even keep up in the whoops pretty well too, at least until my lack of reservoirs catches up to me...

    No Brady I'm sorry. Your rig isn't quite there haha

    He has better travel I'd guess. And smaller rig all around which is better...and it's a 1st gen :p haha

    But he has a winch too..and tools..and pretty much everything haha

    All around mike is better setup then any of us.

    And Lisa makes the smilies. How..I have no idea haha

    Well I don't have a winch, he's got me there and we have been over this. 2nd gens aren't that much bigger than 1st gens. haha My toolbox has like 50lbs worth of basic tools in it. I would say he has better dampened/cooled travel but I probably have just as much as him or at least close.

    I have been looking at 2nd gen C/O's and I think 5100's might just have the most travel (or about the same) out of all of the bolt in options for a 2nd gens:eek: Too bad they don't make some with a reservoir.

    Probably because I have awesome meets and he knows it! Plus you changed your mind about whether or not you were coming so many times he had to want to come out here with or without you.

    Not me :(

    05 Taco with some crap welded to it
    mostly stock
    A lot of guys give the Treadwright's great reviews, and I am considering trying some myself...As many KM2's as you go through if you actually wheel (My personal record is 8 in one year, 7 sidewall tears one tread sliced spinning on sharp rocks) it's a screaming deal...
    35's for $150- https://www.treadwright.com/p-77-315-75r16-guard-dog-m-t-d.aspx

    I thought about it. The only thing I worry about is you have no idea what sidewall you are getting and you may go through them even faster. KM2's are supposed to have one of the toughest sidewalls out there (minus MTR's of course and probably some swampers) and if we are going through them like crack, we may go through treadrights even faster...

    But yeah, $150/tire for 35's and $205/tire for some 37x12.50R16.5's is a screaming deal!!

    I am going to just buy all my tires from discount tires from now on and get the 3 year warranty. At least that way you are guaranteed your tire will last 3 years.

    It's a good idea though. Look at Monte last year. Planned for like 6+ vehicles last year in WY and only ended up with 2...

    I have heard good things about them tread wise, but it's sidewalls I'm worried about on tires. I play on too many lava rocks here. Almost every time I go crawling I'm in sharp rocks. All of my sidewalls are pretty tore up on my tires... That was one of the reasons I wanted to just get a whole new set of tires. Who knows how long it will be until I destroy another sidewall.

    Every meet is like that tho. There are always drop outs.

    I watched it happen with the mt meets a ton. Hell I was one in June 2 years ago.

    I'm still expecting some to drop out this year. But people have gotten better I think bout totally committing and just lurking.

    Yea true. Mine have taken their fair share of hits but probably not as bad as yours. Only have a few chunks missing.

    I have 2 jobs and I'm going to school.
    Yeah I expect that, but we shouldn't expect that. You should be commited to go no matter what (pending an emergency of course) or on the fence like I am with WY this year and even then being on the fence like me is questionable once it gets close.
    That is why I didn't notice my bad tire when I left Cameron. Big gashes and missing chunks in the knobs are just common place now. Looks like a kid had fun with a pocket knife on my tires or some shit. haha

    Good, good. I'm the same I guess except I don't commit unless I'm 100% positive

    No.

    Nice siggy. I was expecting to see the teardrop in there though :cool:

    Yes.

    I'm used to working 3 Jon's plus contracting out as a sound guy. This year I'm headed to ak to work the north slope.

    Some kid may have...:spy:

    I'm committed no matter what! Ill do it alone for all I care. But I know mike will be there for sure no matter what and Lisa for the first part.

    But I'm sure a couple will have to pull out for so,e reason. It happens. All I know and care is that more then the last two wy meets! Haha
