It was a great time. If you do go on a snow run make sure you are with people with recovery gear and preferably a winch. If no which a hi-lift which can kind of act like a winch in a bind. Also, those going should make sure they have some quality snow/mud/Mountain Flake tires that can handle deep snow with a layer of ice under it.
Too bad you and others could not make it. It's a bit of a drive as you know, and was midweek, so I did not expect many takers. The only other people on that trail were two snowmobilers. I think the snow was around 8 inches at it's deepest on the trail. Which was a lot more than I was expecting considering how dry it has been. It will be a snowy mess soon it was snowing a few hours we were up there and started back up as we left.
Plan something bro. Sadly, I will not be able to join y'all during the weekends the rest of the year. I'll take a Saturday off sometime in January if people want to venture out on another snow run.

Installed my 891's tonight without a hitch :clap2:
But the front spacers won't be going on anytime soon which shouldn't be a problem as the fronts don't sag at all and i don't mind a little rake forward. The front upper mounting bolts on the strut are only going to be removable with a grinder and i don't want to spend the money right now for new front struts, or to have them rebuilt.
If anyone wants a brand new of 1" thick front spacers from Fat Bobs garage I will sell them for $70 which is a great deal considering I paid $130 with shipping.
My 285's are getting mounted in the morning.
will post pics tomorrow.

Good idea with he PNW thread. I always forget that exist. We'll get something going for January. Sharing; it's only fair.
Hey Bob, long time.
Thanks. I wish I would have taken another day to polish it a bit more, but oh well. I might do up a second one since I have so much video footage left. Also, thanks for sharing with your friends.
The song is called "Halcyon and on and on", by the band "Orbital". Fairly old song from the early 90s.
Hope you and the wife are doing well.
