[fightman80]

Looking good man! Those are some crazy off camber shots!

 

[downpour11]

DAMN!! Yup just a little tippy lol

Awesome pics!

 

[Dirtco]

It was nice meeting and wheeling with you Steve! We'll have to do it again.

You need a shot from this angle!

 

[URBAN ASSAULT]

Truck looks sick! So glad you didn't flop it.
I like how you accentuated the hood contour. Is that paint or decal?
Nice work!

yeah that was a close one ha. the hood accent is just a decal i was going to plasti-dip it but the Vinyl was easier.

 

[CenCalifoothill15]

Awesome wheeling shots man! Nice Truck too...

 

[awpsome]

Sick!!! That's a bit tippy. Bumper seemed to hold it all together.

 

[toykidd]

last weekend me and a few guys took a last minute Moab trip! We ran 7 mile rim on saturday and Hells Revenge on sunday. When i went to Moab for the first time this past may, we ran hells but I opted not to do Hells Gate and tip over challenge, and regretted it ever since. So now i had the opportunity to redeem myself!

Loaded up and ready to go!

Moab is such a truly beautiful place there is no other place like it and wheeling there is unlike anywhere!

UPDATE:
this past week i got the last piece of underbelly armor for my rig! It was the Lil Skips Gas tank skid. shout-out to [MENTION=52371]Gerdo[/MENTION] for making such a quality and well-thought out product. I can safely say that i will no longer worry about damage to my gas tank while on the trail.

and i can't get a new piece of armor without testing it out! Here are some pictures of a run we did last weekend to Chinaman Gulch.

Awesome shots dude! Looks like you have a great group of locals to wheel with, I see Glen Yoshida in there and the green one is Gerdo isn't it? Ive got some of Glen's axles, maybe next year i can take him up on his offers to go wheelin.

How did Hell's Gate turn out for you?

I appreciate it! yeah it has been awesome have a lot of those experienced guys teaching me so much. yeah that is Gerdo. Hells Gate went really well no winching needed (but probably one of the scarier things i have done wheeling)

 

[NateMob]

I bet, what a great way to hone your skills. What is your ground to fender height with the 851s and 1" body lift? Any particular reason you went with the 851s over the 861s?

 

[downpour11]

Great pics as always! One of my favorite threads! :thumb3:
