how is the wheelin in south dakota? is it mostly rocks and trails?

the wheelin is great! lots of tight technical trails. we run lots of old washed out ravine type areas. dry riverbeds also comprise alot of our trails.  lots of big loose boulders and rock, trees etc.  here is a couple pics, sorry i dont have alot.

that looks like a blast but it sucks cause all of us are moving down to arizona on the 15th of july so our trip has to be before that! so maybe another year if it is open to all we will roll out your way!

[pumkin toy]

that sucks man!!  you're just missing it!  well maybe next year would be possible.  its always fun and we would love to have you guys.

[pumkin toy]

here are some better pics of the beadlocks.  sorry it took so long to get some decent ones.

[80_yota_pickup]

that thing is lookin nice!

so when you built your cage was it guess and check or do you have a program that you designed it on?
cause that cage is close to tight to the body and very clean!!!

[pumkin toy]

yes it is as close to the body as i could get it!!  no i didnt use a program, i guess you could call it guess and check  lol.   i actually built most of the cage with a buddy while i was going to college at Wyotech.  we used a manual mandrel bender.  basically we took measurements and angles on the truck and bent accordingly!  and thanks for the comments!  i am eventually going to redo the front because i dont like my approach angle and the rear section of the frame is going to be rebuilt and four linked.  i really like the way the main portion of the cage around the cab turned out though.  not too bad for my first one!

[pumkin toy]

so i am trying to change my topic name so people know there is updated pics and cant figure it out!  someone help!

4link in the rear is so nice got a buddy that has it and i am kickin myself for not doing it in the first place. so how was Wyotech? i am rolling out to UTI here in 4 months!

[pumkin toy]

wyotech wasnt too bad.  needless to say the chassis fab class was deffinately the most fun!  i was actually able to use my truck as my final project and it was a pretty large portion of my grade.  the only thing that sucks now is paying 200 bucks a month for 15 years until my school loans are paid off 

[80_yota_pickup]

sounds good except for the last part i would say.

and i dont know how to change the title. sorrry

Witch Wyotech did you go to?

[pumkin toy]

sounds good except for the last part i would say.

so what does it cost to go to UTI?  i have heard they are basically Wyotech's competition.

Witch Wyotech did you go to?

i went to the one in Laramie WY.

I think you have to edit your first post, to change the title.

Well How was your stay in Wyoming?

[Steve_925]

you pretty much summed it up!!  i went november 2004 through july 2005.  Laramie does suck for the most part, but luckily i actually had alot of friends from UW so it made partying and whatnot a bit more fun. my buddies and i actually ended up going to parties with girls instead of the usual "techer" party! lol I also rode freestyle BMX alot during college and i lived about three blocks from Laramie's surprisingly good skatepark.

it is like 42000 to go to UTI for the diesel and automotive program for a 18 month course. and you can go back threw it as many times you want threw out life and dicount on snap on tools, other then that the only difference is that uti has dealership spicification tranning and wyotech gives you the over view of dealer ship training. that is what wyotech and uti recuiters told me.

i started oct of 05'. ya we hit up the skate park a few times, we would bring the snow skate when it snowed. having friends with you makes it alot better, there was a total of 7 of us from high school that went, i graduated a year before them so they were all good friends, i had problem with a couple though. i remember we went to a UW (university of wyoming) party (my friend met a chick that went there) and some girl walks up to my friend and asks what school he goes to. he tells her wyo tech and she turns around and walks away with out saying a word.

well price and everything sounds about the same.  we got a discount on Snap On stuff too, but i never bought anything!  i think after the discount i could still buy craftsman stuff for cheaper and i have never had a problem with there tools.

Dude i know exactly what you are talking about!  that same happened to us sometimes too. even if you got into a decent conversation with some of the dudes from UW they would be cool until they find out you go to tech.  then they would just walk away and not talk to you anymore!  its unbelievable!

[oldyeller]

Thats to bad that people are that way!
When you were their did you ever make it to casper?

[Wermz84]

That is Effing retarded and those people are 100% Shallow.
