hope the snow was good. It was a hella nice day today. make sure you post pics!

im back. it was good run, ended up blowing a bead in knee deep water at midnight last night, broke the winch cable trying to winch up a 3 feet undercut ice wall, finally ended up using a hatchet to knock the walll down and then i wrapped the winch cable around a tree in a way that i didnt need the hook and proceeded to inch it out of the water.  clownman was in the truck and we were all standing like 50ft away and all of up were ducking for cover haha, it was making some wicked sounds.  anyway, got it out, ended up blowing both beads, and ripped the stem out, so i had to widdle down a stick and hammer it in the hole, its still holding air right now.  big thanks to ClownMan and his OBA, saved my ass several timesi.  also i had some cooling issues on the way out.  we ended up rewiring my fan to move the air the opposite direction, and that helped for sure.  we think there might be a hole in it somewhere.  im going to pull it out and take it to a shop and have them look at it and fix it if its fucked.

all in all the coilovers a sick, and it really makes me realize how shitty the rear leafs are.

Pictures!

[lilbuddy]

Weekend wasnt too bad. Kinda cold. IFS sucks but its chill. Its nice not worrying about breaking my truck though since i rode. It was pretty funny watching callens truck fully get it up the hill (paved road) and waiving to a sheriff that he passed. Good stuff. I thought for sure hed get all mad.


PICS

[-Matt-]

ya that was definitely the best snow wheelin conditions iv ever been in. a little to cold though, i think we all froze our asses off. callen your trucks sick and it was way bad ass to drive it for a bit, its such a good feeling wheelin a rig like that compared to mine. althought it was way bad ass and unbelievable that we made it to spring valley and were wheeling ontop of 4 feet of un tracked snow... i think all in all when its this cold out we need to deff stay at chrises cabin and put around there.

[jrock]

Wow, the weather looked terrific.

[Dingman.]

Figures i had to miss that.  Looked fun.

chris, did you get any video of my truck?  wish you woulda been in the cab filming when we almost rolled it coming back looking for you guys from bottle hill hah.

[kiyul4130]

you gunna get a new cable, or go to rope?

[lilbuddy]

im still cold

Ya same here. I have my heater in my room on my feet trying to thaw them out.

[46&2]

So you guys have gotten fresh snow at the high lakes within the last few days? It stopped snowing down here over a week ago. Cool pics, looks like fun.

[Sluice Box Hero]

rope id for comp buggies, im getting more cable.  with rope we would have never been able to get you out of wrecking ball.  cable is just way tougher, maybe not stronger, but tougher,  i only broke the last 10 feet, ill probably just cut it back and re-crimp it for now.
