A million points for the laugh. That's awesome. Maybe I'll try that and adding a mast, sails, and a rudder. But no.
Something is missing.

Correct, but not what I was going for. You can still have the five points.

[MENTION=77684]WarnerD9[/MENTION] what was the reason for taking the crossbars off?

I bought the rack to store large light weight items that don't fit well inside of the vehicle. (I should have bought a BAJA utility rack.) I've found the bars to be very limiting. They didn't seem to be necessary so I cut them off. Now I can use the whole floor and pack more creatively and effectively.

Had some fun down in Moab...
Cleaning out the newly acquired sand
We found a big water hole and I got lucky. BFG MTs and ATRAC saved my bacon...
Nice and dirty after the hole and dragging the Taco out...
My friend wasn't so lucky in his Taco

Inside the cab
Some redneck CV ripped boot repair.
The CV ended up self destructing, but he was able to drive the truck home without any issues.
Ran into Jeremy that night and spoke with him in the morning, very nice guy and nice well used rig.

Oh, NICE pics. Those water shots are crazy! That rear bumper makes my Hefty Fab bumper look like a piece of Poo, well in comparison!

AWESOME shots!!! Looks like some good old fashioned fun. I gotta get out to the Utah / Colorado area and do some wheeling with you and [MENTION=78273]Jeremy556[/MENTION]
Good stuff man!! Love seeing these trucks used, they are incredibly capable.

Tires
Hey Warner,
At the beginning of this thread you have this pic.
And I wanted to know about tires - I am looking at the BFG KM2's and the Hankook Dynapro MT's. I think you originally had the Hankooks on your runner before you switched to the BFG's.
I unfortunately live in Ontario Canada where wheeling is basically unavailable, so the tires are more of an aesthetic choice rather than a functional one. That being said, I like the way the Dynapros look, but I'm also concerned about road noise and durability.
If you have any input, let me know,
Thanks,
S.

The Hankooks aren't bad, they worked just fine, wore a little funny and were a but quieter than the KM2s but any MT will be noisy. For the size I wanted it was either KM2s or TerraGrapplers and I didn't have very good luck with the Nittos.
I'd go with Duratracs, they seem to have all the bases covered.

In case you want to go try for your self... We went down a branch from the main Kane Creek trail. The whole trail has been pretty washed out, much tougher than I remember it being last year. It was still beautiful and perhaps my favorite Moab trail. One of our group members didn't make it...
Just kidding, but that gives you an idea of how much water has gone through recently. That thing still has nearly all it's parts.

No my friend, it's called adventure, you should try it and you'll be addicted too!!!
I tried to get a HeftyFab. You inspired me but they never returned my calls or emails!
It's an open invitation from my end. I'm waiting and I'm guessing Jeremy is too. I want to see you very impressive rig in person and on the trail. I promise we will not get yours as wet.
BTW, no water entered the cab. Photo time stamping shows that I was in the water hole for 12 seconds.
Here are a few more pics.
