Truck with 3" lift with 33" BFG KM2's


Mounted my KC lights in the grill


Always a good time snow wheeling




Received my new Trail-gear rear bumper, mounted up fine



Exploring some fire trails



New Front Bumper going on








Got a call to go pull this duramax out. Frame got jammed on a stump.




Winched her out, took a bit...and on the way out...
blew a CV


So time to work on her...


Went out with a group from the area, buddy got stuck on 35's




Couple more stuck on the way home...


I didn't go through, didn't have the money to break anything and had to drive back to Maine after getting them out.

Upgraded the rear soon after...




Picture came out weird, but these are the gears before swapping the Detroit in.


Best use for the winch I've found so far...


Nice view on the power lines




Parking at my buddies house, he has a RAM 1500 and couldn't make it an inch haha



And I get calls for this shit...When the F250 fails, call a yoga

Dunno how she ended up like that but got her out

Put the GoPro on the roof for interesting times


Tires were starting to wear down after several years of running back and forth to Maine for school. So went with Red Letters


And some new wheels




Also redid my washer reservoir


Will redo it again when I do the Deckplate mod

Traded a solid axle for a 83 toyota for the backrack, I had no use at this point for the axle and my buddy did


Made up a simple switch panel that slips right in under my stereo



Painted it black so no glare

Received this in the mail
20" LED bar from OK LED


Mounted on the truck


Some people just aren't meant to climb poles....

used the winch to help pull him up a bit...good times at woodsmen practices

Will be redoing my front suspension over spring break

 

Will be redoing my front suspension over spring break.

Ordered Icon Coilovers and Light Racing UCA with balljoints, since everything gets eaten up in the Northeast by salt.

 

Also ordered a BAMF bpv bracket so that will be going on over break as well

 

Well just got home to some new parts, installing on Saturday


Still waiting on lower ball joints an outer tie rod for driver side

 

nice looking truck ! where did you get those steel wheels from ?

 

Looks good man! not as slow as most college builds haha

 

Nice truck. I like how you're keeping simple for now. Good direction with the build so far

 

The steelies came from wheelers. Yah I keep trying to add as I can. Once I'm finally settled and done with school we'll see what direction it takes….

 

Got my RAT skids on and switched so sitting flush.

 

Also the truck has a brand new frame...yay no more rust. But realized Toyota didn't put a body mount back in or it crumbled, so ordered a new set....

Also doing brakes soon and axle seals

 

And home for the weekend so went out and had some fun

Had to stretch her legs a little. Slipped a little on the rock face but otherwise was great

 

Cool. Looks fun

 

A lotta win in here!
