The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Thanks it's pretty cool

I doubt it.

You planning on doing holy cross anytime soon? Cause...I am

But for most the time, you bet

 

Also..merry Christmas to everyone!!

 

Ill be locked by next fall pretty certain dual locked..that's the goal anyways.

I don't shit money into it...I just spend money only on it..haha

 

Yea..no biggie. I still like exploring the normal dirt back country roads with ya. So that super important haha no matter how great the difference we will wheel together. Have to, tis tradition!

 

Merry Christmas.

All packed and rolling out now to Mazama for a few days. Then heading east.

 

hate to say it mate, but a time is comming soon where that's not gonna be realistic. Me and monte are doing stuff like Pritchett canyon, you will just die if you take the green machine on that

Oh god ain't that the truth. After my bills are paid left overs get dumped right into the truck and a small bit into the bike and gas for snowboarding

 

Heading east!! Excited to see what magic happens. Don't spoon too hard!

 

haha, don't worry. I'm bringing my chastity belt.

After Monte's weekend with the madjik man, I'm hearing he's a changed "man".

 

the best form of protection!

And I know right! Weird shit happens in Colorado!

We aren't doin it this year, at least I'm not. I need skids

Just sayin. You said you can still follow monte, if you try I think serious damage will ensue

 

Safe travels!

 

I can't decide on a 235/85/16 or a 255/85/16

Hmm, I don't really want a AT though, when i'd rather have overkill off-road, and the snow/ice requirement can be filled by studs.

I like the looks of these, they're studdable, and (best of all) they're cheaper than the km2's

If you don't offroad a lot. Mts are pointless. And I mean like go offroading like almost every weekend in the summer.

A good at wont imped your offroading much. And if the rig is mostly a dd..I see no reason to count ats out since they will get mpgs and be quieter on the road and handle more conditions better.

Mud terrains are horrible on ice and hard pack snow..period. I'm not even sure you can stud them and I don't think that would be worth it ever year anyways. Do they look better then ats? Damn right they do. Haha but you need to really look at how you drive and such and get what fits that pattern better then more what you like what looks cool. Hard to do..but I wouldn't want to waste money at 17 for truck mods.

The RTO3s are a good tire tho. They aren't a super aggressive mud terrain but a more aggressive at anyways. If I bought new tires, those are what I'd buy I think.

For a dd rig, get 235/85s. 32s and work fine. Ben has taken his everywhere and still gets decent mpgs.

255/85 will hurt the power more and mpgs. I'd get that once you get into offroading a lot or had a second vehicle



Either way. Your gonna get what you want and nothing should stop that anyways.

 

Well every deer season i'll be offloading at least 3 days a week to get back to where i hunt, and i'm hoping to start offroading more when i move.

if everything goes the way i hope i won't DD my truck, i'll have something like this to take to school and the store.


Yeah, i'm looking at it as an investment, the less i get stuck in the MS. mud (which there seems to be a lot just doing around the house stuff) the less i owe people favors, and the more people i can pull out the more favors are owed me.

Yeah, i'll figure it out eventually.
If i don't get a buggy i may put some MT's on my stock rims, but the BFG AT's i have on the SCS rims and just swap them out when i'm gonna be in off road.

 

So I remember someone asked for photos of this so here ya go.





Ad fixed an HID light. Had to tear the harnness apart and re wrap part of it. Was arcing out causing one HID light to go out.

 

pretty pictures..... of dirt.


used and abused, like it should be

 

Didn't even wash it after the epic haha just rained on. It is pretty dirty. Maybe ill wash it after the 35s haha

 

key word here haha

 

Yea..very key lol

I kinda wanna wash it so I can see all the battle scars from the trip.

I REALLY need to do some touch up painting haha

 

just once...get the new tires, clean them, clean the truck and take a pretty picture with your pretty camera with a pretty clean truck

then dont wash it for another 568 days


oh and take a shop vac to the inside for gods sake

 

Monte finally got my rear swing out on after i had it sandblasted and powdercoated for the last week and i was stoked about getting the bumper on. just wanted to let u know since i had ask u and others on hear about a type of rear bumper to go with and all i wanted put on it.
