Shmellmopwho DCLB EXPO BUILD

Not a bad idea at all. You’d just have to figure out a way for your canvas tent material to pop up with it and you’re good to go

 

So this past Saturday I went wheeling with my daughter and we were joined by our friends Ryan @eon_blue and Bijan @SoCalTacoTruck

Had an awesome time cruising around in Big Bear after it had recently snowed. Did a nice long trail and took it easy. Took some photos and hung out and played in the snow a bit and finished the day off with a nice pizza!

Here are some photos from the trip with all the credit going to Bijan and his awesome photography skills!

After we finished the trail I promised my daughter we’d find a good spot to go sledding and build a snow man!

 

@SoCalTacoTruck nice photos!!! @Shmellmopwho did you make your HC Rear? I love how high the swingout mounted things are. up and out of the way

 

Hey was there Saturday too, was around Holocomb Valley tho

 

Great photos!! And yes I made the HC rear bumper. I appreciate the kind word. I made a thread back when I built it

That’s awesome! We did white mountain trail. Entered through Green Valley lake area and went around the desert side and came back in through the fawnskin area. It was a beautiful day!

 

dang, love the swingout! love the new latch too. hows the hinge been holding up?

 

Thanks man. The new latch is bomp proof and so is the spindle that the swingout turns on. Open up the dust cap and throw a little grease in there once a year lol and you’re good to go!

 

yeah that's what I need. Gotta get the spare out from under the rig. nice work! Love to see custom stuff

 

Great pics, what trail is that? I have a 3 year old who I want to take out and that looks mellow enough for his first time.

EDIT: Didn't see you already mentioned what trail it is, I just saw the pics and scrolled right past everything else.

 

I appreciate it man! I’m proud of it. It’s always fun building stuff.

Yeah man, White Mountain Trail. My daughter absolutely loves it. She says “daddy, I wanna go on the bumpy roads”. We have such a fun time. You and your son would love it. That’s the second time we’ve done a full day of wheeling. Left at 6:30 am and didn’t get back till 9 pm and she was a champ the whole day.

 

Dude yeah she’s getting so big right before my eyes! I can’t believe it. I want her to slow down haha. She got up from that ride on the sled and she was completely frosted!! It was hilarious. Super fun to play with the kids man. Simple things too!

 

Coilovers, rear shocks, rear springs and LR UCA’s showed up for the GX

 

Man! You should’ve called me. I could’ve hooked you up really good on them.

 

I appreciate it! I got a super good deal on it all cuz I ordered it all on Black Friday. It finally just came in lol.

 

U also got a GX. Like your style. we did too

 

Haha heck yeah bro! They’re so pimped out!! We love ours. The truck is obviously the trail rig and stuff but taking road trips with the family is so much nicer in the GX. Having my wife, 2 kids, and a dog in the GX is way easier than the taco haha. It’s also awesome that the GX is a pretty badass Offroad machine as well. Once the rain stops this week I’ll throw the suspension on. I’m pretty stoked. Your guys GX looks sick!!

 

Thanks man. Its a 2009. Were running 2.5 kings with TC arms and Metal tech LT coils. Falken 33s with scs rims and a prinsu roof rack. sliders on order from @RelentlessFab . We love the GX. We have been loading it up and taking it to Tahoe every weekend.

 

That’s so rad!! Looks super good. Great family rig for sure! We went with the same tires but 265’s.
