Thanks. Haven't been to Erwin Park in a few months, but that's where I go. I'll send you a PM with my info and let me know if your up for riding.

Great looking build! Any plans for additional armor?

Thanks. So yes and no on the armor. The original plan was and kinda still is to keep for at least another 100k miles, put rock sliders and rear bumper. However, I may be replacing it at the end of the year with a Tacoma. With 221k miles now, I feel I can still get a pretty decent resale price for it, but downside would be vehicle payments....

rear brake replacement

So I finally decided to replace my rear brakes witch I have neglected for some time now...(6 years). Any who, it has been nice as I have completed many trails in 2wd and 4hi and have had zero issues until yesterday when I went into a rutted mud mess and forgot the trac & vsc now work properly...:rofl::trophy:
4lo got me out without issue, but comical to say the least.

Test trip #1 to Ouachita Forest

We are making a series of trips into the Ouachita Forest to test our gear and rigs for an upcoming 4 day trip we will be making through the Ozarks in October. This is our first trip.

Nice lookin' rig! Bullet holes?! I just read how you thought you got them but dang! That's crazy. I have the stock 'coke bottle' wheels too still, but I like what you upgraded to.
