The Adventures of Ash and Baby Taco

Soft topper looks sweet! Even better with the color of your truck!

 

Thanks! I really like the color. Breaks up the monotony of gray/black.

 

Today was eventful, I took my air line for my locker out not to long ago and forgot about it. Well, I got stuck, pretty good too. Not the worse I have been stuck and I could have found myself out a couple feet at a time with the maxtracs and my shovel. However, a friendly jeeper came up to offer help. I said sure, give me a tug back and I should be good. Well as I start to put my tow strap on he comes into my tracks...get's stuck. So I ignore it, work on getting my truck unstuck and eventually I need more room to back up so I go and use my maxtracs to get the jeep out. Then a big dodge rolls up, we connect two tow straps to avoid the previous situation. He pulled me straight up a hill through about 5 ft of snow until I told him to stop . I was fairly tilted since only the passenger side was up the hill and we re-hook to shorten the line and then pull me out sideways. He then preceded to take the route I didn't take and got through. I called it a day, getting unstuck is a lot of work!


Some new pics. I have more but my card reader keeps shorting out and it makes it a pain to edit them . I'll put a few more up tonight.

So now a bunch of water and dirt are in your locker too?...

 

Nah, I covered it. Just took the air tubes out for now since I know where I want to permanently place the co2. I haven't done any water crossing either.

 

I need to move mine. Just need a deflector from rocks for the wheel well.

Dang that's some deep snow. Truck looks great tho! Those pelfrybuilt bumpers are starting to grow on me.

 

How are the ORIs doing in the cold?

 

Not to deep, but deep enough to keep me from movin! Pelfreybilt probably has the best looking bumpers you can get for 2nd gens. Just a simple, clean look.

Just fine, they get kinda chatty with noise. Once the ice breaks they ride normal.

 

just was curious if you have lift height changes with temperature like we did.

 

I haven't noticed it but I dont pay crazy attention to the height. I need to mess with them again.

 

What kind of Pup is Ash? Your truck and topper look sick .

 

Well, good question. The "breeder" said the parents were catahoulas, they looked like catahoulas, and all the other pups had short hair like catahoulas. Yet here is Ash. He was breed to be a ranch dog but turned out to be a couch potato. Who knows what he is .

If any one is interested in my MTRs let me know. I'll be upgrading to a new tire in a month or so.

 

Whatcha gettin?

 

An AT most likely. These MTR's are a great tire for a summer rig but Wyoming just has to long of a winter with piss poor road conditions for me to justify keeping them. I might go back to the treadwright guard dog.

 

Haha that's such a down grade if you do that IMO. For a much worse tire. Id run a dura fail before the retreads.

Ko2s would be a better choice. Hell siped km2 would


Or the STT maxx

 

This.

Fuck retreads in the face.
