Finally got to run my rig after it's build up. I'm very impressed with it. I have a few very small issues to resolve but overall I'm very happy. We covered alot of ground and didn't stop much so I didn't get as many action shots as I would have liked but here's a few posers.

Shortly after this shot I got to break in the winch for the first time when I winched the white truck up White Rock hill. He was SASed but had no shocks yet and an open front diff. Of course pics do no justice on how steep this hill was. I was coming down from checking out the top when I took this pic. It was gnarly.

Nice pics and 4runner!! :thumbs: Where are those pics from? Looks like a nice place to wheel or just enjoy. I wouldn't know what to do with all those tree's along the trail.

Those pics are from Hollister Hills OHV park by San Jose, CA. It's a giant park and has a little something for everyone. Cost me 10 bucks for all weekend and to camp Saturday night. Figured it was a good place to go for it's first run since alot of people would be around.

A few of our guys did Tank Trap but it was NASTY!! It had water running down it. My rig is so tall with the roof rack on it I didn't feel like getting it caught in the trees again. I got my highlift caught on a tree twice before on another trail. I drove about 15 feet into the rock garden and then drove down off the side. I didn't have a spotter and didn't feel like beating my diffs to death just for kicks. With a good spotter I have no doubt I could have crawled through it easily with the duals.

Loki the diff did great thanks! Get your junk ready so we can go wheeling. I can't wait to take this thing out again. Wheeling this thing is a whole another level of wheeling!

I just need money...i'm not a load you know. I would much rather be at home tearing my truck up and getting it ready.

I'm still trying to figure out if i'll be able to run the hammers at the end of the month...not looking good.

Barney Riley is the equivalent to driving over a bunch of speed bumps...hardly a test of how the rig will flex out and handle tons of abuse. Besides...i think i have my daughter that weekend.

Ya Barney is going to be more of a trail clean up/camping weekend. I just want to get the hell out of the city and see some mountains. There's an abandoned Dodge Charger up there that they are planning on trying to figure out a way to get it out. Should be interesting.

Maybe a little straighter but not much. Oddly enough it seemed to drive better after wheeling it all weekend. :driving:
