My wife hates you all....

I think my wife is officially getting tired of hearing me talk about the trip...all the different characters I met....and of course all of the awesome trucks! She refuses to look at any more pictures of all the new mods that I "NEED". Definitely regretting the Westins after this weekend....might be a new post in the for sale section shortly. Can't wait until next year...hopefully I won't be the "short" guy in all the photos and I will have some new mods to show off and I can go somewhere and do something worth taking a picture of.
 
And your shop has worked on, what, 90% of them?

Well, I can officially say that High Tech has worked on 2 T4Rs from NY (Titanpat and Kraeken)

Here's how some of us spent a little of our Saturday afternoon.

Titanpat's Gobi install went something like this...

Spy45 "How am I going to take that TE hood from Titanpat without him knowing?"

Spy45 "No, seriously, maybe if I bow to the almighty TE hood, it will just magically appear onto my truck!"

Ducmonsta "Steve, WTF are you doing on top of Titanpats roof?!"
"We've never had to do that at the shop."

Mrs. Spy45 coming to help GotMo with the rack.
Mrs Spy "no, no, no...you have to hold the rack here"
GotMo "I'm pretty sure the driver's side bracket goes on the right"
Ducmonstas thinking....."where are my guys at the shop when you need them?!"

Spy45's dog Jesse "Oh boy, when's the BBQ again?"

A little friend came to help with the rack installation.

"no, seriously, where are those guys from the shop...."

Duc "Nevermind, I'll do it myself"
Spy45 "DAMN, Bobby's future is so BRIGHT, I have to shield my eyes!"

Oh, and NOW Titanpat comes to help with the installation. J/K

There's Mrs. Spy45 lending a helping hand again.

For the record Spy45, Gobi is spelled G-O-B-I not...e-O-B-I

But don't worry, Duc figured it out before attempting to load the rack onto the truck.

It was fun doing an on field install. Later, we install Kraeken's Rigid Duallys that he purchased from me at the camp.

Some other festivity shots..

That's Qjake and his magic flashlight. I think he's trying to imbed all of his raffle numbers into the raffle cage.
Qjake, "C'mon RC car!"

Qjake, "No, seriously, I want that RC car!"

A few of our 'winners'

There's Qjake again...."maybe Duc won't notice if I take it now!"

A great shot of momo.75's t-shirt design and Qjake's kindness.

And for the record, I did go wheeling with my truck. RTT and all!
I wish I could have gone with the group on Saturday pm. It just would have been too much of a hassle to put the RTT away just to set it up again.

This happened on Sunday pm, just before I left.

Here's a pretty cool scenery shot

And it's not just getting muddy. I attempted to mount a rock at the top of the overlook.
DSC_0417.jpg

Not much clearance left on the rear bumper.

GotMo spotting the rock for me.

I can tuck a 285 just as well as the rest of you guys.

Crawling up

OK, now try and get in, GotMo. This gives a little perspective of how steep it was.

Man, I also feel bad for not making it - big D would have loved that, and wait, squirrel was in season? I like squirrel if it came from the forest, it's a tree rabbit. City squirrels ... not so much, since they're rats with better PR.

:-((
 
OK, it's not Moab. But it's as close as I'll get for now.

Here's what a RTT cover looks like from the ground.:peace:

I am so jealous, I don't recall any mention of off-roading available when this site was selected, but I guess it just goes without saying in that part of the country. A last minute work obligation kept me away, hopefully I can make it next time. I did do a special mod of sorts, that I do not think anyone has tried yet.
 
Just testing High Tech's quality control procedures.

And if I recall, the mechanics were watching with amused grins on their faces. Thanks Scott and Jeff.
 
Looks like you guys had a great time! Hopefully we can do another meet up next year and I'll be able to make it with a truck that hopefully wont be stock by then, lol.
 
When I arrived home yesterday, I gave Willis a call at The Cove. They got a "late start" and the office was empty when I left at 9:30.

His report- "No problems, it was a pleasure having you guys here."

I let him know to pencil us in for the same time, same campsite for next year.:cheers:


Duc- start getting those prizes together now, pal!

With a year lead time we are talking a RTT, Gobi stealth, Hell- maybe a modded out 3rd Gen!? Yeeeehaw!

Glad you guys had a great time! I will try to make it next year. How are the mtn biking conditions?

If you can even call it a "Mod" mine was stock with the exception of the Garmin stuck to the dash with a pro-clip mount. Had a blast!
