Well, I'm proud to report that I finally have something more to contribute to the forum than answering product questions. Its been way too long, but I finally made it out of the shop and onto the trails.
A handful of friends and future inlaws piled in and set of to make a trip to Colorado, and decided we'd call it my bachelor party. Over a 2K mile round trip and everyones truck stayed together despite the abuse they took. Only problems I had were a slightly overloaded suspension and a couple flats. We made the weight work and thanks to a customer of ours, [MENTION=106242]Miguelon[/MENTION], lending me his powertank the flats were made quick work of.
A few really large pics for your viewing pleasure:
Base Camp #1 at Hoosier Pass:
Few steps into Wheeler Lake trail head:
Night fall came shortly after hitting the trail that night, we got a late start since we had driven straight through from Houston and went straight to camp and off to the trail.
The next day we pulled off the side of the road leading up to the trail head of Holy Cross, dropped our gear and headed right back up the mountains:
quick pause for some Shrockworks product pics:
And Cleveland Rock was the end of the trail for these rigs, both got shut down trying our lines:
After wheelin for a couple days we decided to take the long way home and run down through New Mexico, stopping for a few beers along the way and changing a few tires:
put flat #1 with a punctured sidewall on the back....
flat #2blew up the spare and the sidewall turned to mush in the time we got pulled over....so back to flat #1 with some sketchy roadside repairs. My passengers carry their weight
