Actually, not really.   An old co-worker that I haven't seen in a few years (the guy that turned me on to the MC forum) called a couple day's ago and asked if I wanted to go.  Long story short, he hangs out on some taco and prerunner forums, he was meeting a bunch of people there.   Turns out most of them hadn't done much wheeling yet.  So we helped them out, taught them some trail etiquette, how to pick lines, and have fun.  All the basic stuff.  One kid really took to it, and I could see a huge improvement in his driving between 10am and  4pm.  :thumbs:

Any way it was an awesome day, and most importantly (to me anyway  :gap:) the truck ran perfectly.  :hyper:   No mechanical issues at all, It felt real good seeing all my hard work pay off.  New engine, new drive train.  Only issue I had was learning all the new gears.  haha.  I killed it 4 times getting lost in the gears.  :gap:   I love the dual ultimate.  I used every gear today and it was absolutely amazing.  To sum it all up; it was a great day wheeling, met a lot of cool people, shake down run a 100% success.

any way enough :blah:  :blah:  on with the poser pics.   (i will spare you from the Ifs pictures.  :greengrin: )

Here is my buddy's rig.





















I have no pics of White rocks.  :down:   but I finally did it.  :woohoo:

I have never seen the top of the hill so packed.  I mean EVER.

A bunch of random people BSing and having lunch.





This guys rig was Damn Sweet.   He was on the other forum as well, but definitely a capable rig on Dana 44's.


And then this guy we all just randomly found while we were walking tank traps.  He had flipped, self righted himself and was working on fixing is stuff.  we hung out and tried to give him a hand but he pretty much had it done.  after that he hung with us the rest of the day.   I fawking love this thing!  Those are 42's.


Side note. Tank Traps is narly now.  :jawdrop:   you use to be able to run it on 35's, but it is so jacked now.  at least 40's +

Dang nice pics, dude!  :bowdown:  Looks like you had a good time. I've never seen that many people at the top of the road before.   :o  Holy Cow! Thinking back, it's been like a year and a half since the last time I went to HH in my truck. Can't wait to go again.  :yupyup:  My truck didn't have all the stuff I have now the last time I was there.  :gap:

Thanks.  :beerchug:  it was an awesome time.

um yeah! :disturbed:   Wheel, rinse, and repeat!  lol

these gears had already been used.  really just the adapter plate and some bearings are the only new stuff.   Funny thing though.  When I first put the 4:7's in, I just bolted them up and went straight to the Con.  that's one way to break them in right.  :gap:
