Casper421's Build/Picture thread

I'm excited too but I have to wait till I get some switches. Plus I'm heading out tomorrow for a roadtrip down south then up to ft. Bragg for some abalone diving. It'll be a few weeks before they're on. But I'm very happy they arrived before I left.

you homo im so jealous right now
 
So I took a road trip down to LA two weeks ago and then a camping trip to Ft. Bragg with some friends last week. About 1850 total miles in both trips and no issues whatsoever. During the 1200 mile road trip to LA I was able to averaged 17.15mpg! Got great mpgs heading to Ft. Bragg but the return trip was an interesting one, ill explain later. Onto the pics...

My buddy Mike with the subi had a rough vacation. On the 2nd day of our 7 day camping trip his clutch shit the bed and barely made it back to the campsite. A few days later he locks his keys in his car. I volunteered to tow his car back to town instead of giving a couple grand to a tow truck driver. So they rented a car trailer from U-Haul for $138!! Driving completely across California on hwy 20 towing about 5600lbs of trailer, car, gear, and dogs was a fun experience. Plus it started pouring east of Marysville which made the 5k foot elevation climb awesome! The superflex coils didn't like all that weight:

Well, I started the process of repainting my skids today. I started with the lca skids and so far I have them cleaned and primed. I will paint them and start on the belly skids tomorrow.

I didn't see if even asked, if you don't mind, what did the B.A.M.F. skid plates cost you?

Love the build giving me lots of ideas for mine..
 
Hey man, where are you in the snow in one of the first pictures? I see you're in truckee, just curious where. I stay up at tahoe donner multiple times a year
 
Replaced my rear 5100's with a pair of ICON vs2.0 shocks.
