Can’t see your pictures! Wtf? I’m sure they look good though.
Only reason I drilled mine was because I didn’t want to extend my bumps. That was my only option that I could think of. I don’t ever plan to go back to stock anyways

Strange with the pics. I'm using Google Photo's cause, well, I had it already and never use it. Let me know if anyone else can or can't see them please.
Here's the last piece of the puzzle for the rear bumper. Hi-lift mount and most of the Rotopax stuff came in today. So after work it got all buttoned up. Still waiting on a 2 gallon Gas which will go under the water on the left. Other then swapping out the steering bushing, which will be tomorrow, it's ready for some adventuring.

I don't know what's going on with your pictures, but for me the issue seems to be on a computer. On my phone (android) I saw your pictures, but on my laptop I didn't. Very strange...

Some people had the same issue on my pic heavy frame swap thread. I also used Google Photos/Picasa. Sometimes it was phone only, but for some it was computer only. Link is in sig if you want to try
Never did figure it out.

I skimmed through your thread just now and yours seemed to all work for me on my computer.

Well this weekend didn't exactly go as planned. Plan A was struck down by a wild fire. Plan B was struck down by a road closure. Plan C was put together last minute but all in all it was a fun Labor Day weekend.
We ended up staying local to Bishop and climbing with a few friends Friday and Saturday. Saturday I got on a route that shut me down cold 2 years ago. I was pretty happy to not get shut down this time but to actually get up it clean. It's pretty frikkin hard and I was stoked.
My wife wasn't going to even try it but some of the other's wanted to. Nobody in the crew that day normally climbs anywhere close to that grade but it was a lot of fun watching them try. Inspired, my wife gave it a go. She made it further then anyone else in the group. She can crush.
Today she was a little tired from yesterdays adventure and decided to just chill at home. That gave me a chance to go check out a little trail that's a branch off the Wyman Creek trail. I got my usual crack of noon start and headed up canyon.
After a few miles you enter the canyon proper and meet Wyman Creek for the first of about a dozen times. It's flowing at the normal rate currently so it wasn't nearly as fun a earlier this summer.
After another 7 miles or so you meet up with 6S01A. The trail I wanted to look at. The last record of it being run I could find was in 2011. I talked to quite a few folks about it and got the usual "only in a Razor" responses. I frikkin hate Razors. All that dust and sun. I much prefer my AC, loud tunes, and enclosed cab.
I've run the 2 other "buggy only" trails on the East Side in the past few months so confidence was high. I'm also one of those type A personalities who's balls more often than not overpower his brain. So I pulled onto the spur.
About 200 yards into it my type A personality and my balls had a reality check. I was solo, it was getting late and a single mistake would make for a very bad day. These photo's probably won't do justice to what's there but there worth a shot.
The stretch is only about 75 yards long. It's got a lot of the usual 12-15" steps. It's also got three steps in the 36" range. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten through but that would have put me in unknown terrain late in the day. I backed out with my head hung low. I'll be back with an earlier start and hopefully another rig.
I decided to just head up Wyman to the top of the Whites then head down Silver Canyon. Here's the classic view shot just before you head down Silver. You know, that shot that everybody and there brother has taken? Yeah, that one.
So that's what happened. I'm not proud of backing out and feel like I need to go back and finish the section. If my topo's are to be believed that road continues past Dead Horse Meadows, joins Crooked Creek and eventually heads back to the top of the Whites. There's not a lot of info on that section which is why it interests me. Anybody can follow a well grooved track that's in a guide book. My rig likes that but it likes off the beaten track way more. That's why I built it.
In closing, I'll leave you guys with this. It fits exactly how I feel currently.

Man! I need to get up there and spend a weekend or two just following you around. Sounds like some fun stuff you got going on. Bummer about not being able to continue on (for safety reasons of course). That’s another trial I’d like to come up and check out sometime.

Anytime man. Give me a bit of notice and we should be able to get together. Maybe do a true mileage weekend. I'll start planning something. I'd like to do all dirt from Olancha up to Mammoth. I'm pretty sure it's possible.

When I get some time I'll switch over to Imgur or some such. It's weird that some people see them fine and others don't. Maybe try a different browser as a test if you have time
On a side note, what happens to new tires every time within 2000 miles? This if your me.

Have always wanted to spend more time in your area. Mountain biked the Rock Creek trail in April and grabbed some scones at Great Basin Bakery last month when I was heading home from picking up my son's Tacoma in Phoenix.
Next time I will have to see if you are around.

Bummer about the tire. That is my luck to a T. I was doing some maintenance the other day, tightening the control arms up a bit into proper torque, and snapped a damn lug stud off in the process. Now DT has cross threaded, hrrrm.. up to 5 of my lugs over time, but I think THIS one was mine! I am beginning to question these self centering Gorilla spline lugs. Next time I get new wheels, they will be Hub Centric. Maybe THIS will fix my lug drama.
Odd about the pics though. I can't see them. I see your nailed tire pic, but I have a lot of blank space on two different browsers.

Damn it. I just tried something different for the first pic in the "Wynan Canyon" post. See if you can see that one. You'd think Google would be the go to for image hosting but nope. They always have to make shit harder then it needs to be. I forgive them though. They just replaced my Nexus 6P with the early shutdown issue with a brand new Pixel XL. I'm still shocked. lol
