    Yep I like the flood/spot feature they have now and the cord storage built in with a high and low mode i wanted to dim them at one point this weekend so that will be nice.

    No problem at all. Hopefully you didn't get beat too bad by your girlfriend on the way home.


    Thanks again guys for putting this on, would have loved to spend the weekend out camping but it was nice to go sleep in a bed. Big thanks to Alvin for the jack and jack stand so I could swap tires. Ended costing $17.50 and 10 minutes for a shop to swap it out and mount it back on my truck.

    Just a few more weeks till the next one! Woot!

    I got some body damaged and my CV is puking everywhere and I finally figured out how to keep dust out of the camper shell. Ate great food and hung out with awesome people.

    I echo everyone's thoughts! What a great trip! Thanks to everyone who brought food and to @MJonAgs32 for starting this up.

    I now have some sliders from @JLee and those should be on soon. Next time I'll be more prepared!

    I'll get my pictures and videos up soon. Anyone else that has pics and footage, post up! I saw a ton of nice cameras there, no excuses!

    Dang, I realized how few pictures I actually took :( Usually try and get at least one nice shot of every rig and... well, didn't happen. Basically, I took pics walking up to driveshaft hill and then a few when we were stopped at the lake.

    Looking up:

    I think this is pretty much where we threw in the towel and started winching - hope you get that trans issue figured out, and it doesn't end up being too much $$

    Nice to meet u guys. I really liked that camping spot. We ended up spending the day there on Sunday. Thanks for having my family. It's always cool when there's a bunch of trucks... It's like a truck show. I want those lights too
