Build my wife a rig so I can drive mine again!!    :think:   But it was nice to have a chauffeur. :biggthumpup:
Get to the trail head the night before so I can wheel in with my buddies!!    :beer:

jrock

Drive in and out from from Loon, instead of Tahoe, so I can drive the whole trail :)  And take a helicopter ride!

*FFC*

Chris, she did pretty great, didn't she? So what are you going to build her? :hyper:

My plans: maybe maybe have a rig?

She did awesome and rarely need a spotter. Probably a pick-up as she adores them. I have a line on a nice 1st gen that has a great start. We'll see.

I am sure you will have a rig next year.

I think I'll put this on my next year list. I've never gone all the way in Wentworth Springs, so I'm super interested in seeing it!

I believe if I searched hard enough I can find almost the same statement posted by you last year.  :disturbed:

Redo the lower mounts on my rear shocks so I'm not bottoming out the whole way to the springs and back out.   :smack:

V6 Engine and Auto trans swap, transfer case 23 spline upgrades, Redo my OBA mounting brackets for the new engine, permanently mounted air tank, E-locker, new gears, and who knows what surprises I might come up with by then.  8)  I just might have to do something really cool.  Hmmmmm.... :think:

I know there has to be more....   we'll see.  :eyebrow:

Get rid of the lock rite in the front, put my Detroit in the front and spool the rear. And make some half doors for the rear so the kids have a better view. And like jrock said go in from loon
