That thing is sick Mike. Looks like you have crazy amounts of flex. Love it. Are those 35s?

 

[mike20]

that they would be.... 35x12.50r15 mtrs

 

[sixstringsteve]

That's a sweet rig, can't wait to see it in a week.

 

[mike20]

i know, same here cant wait to see your new truck too

 

[sixstringsteve]

I drove my truck around the block yesterday. It moves! I need a few more things to make it street legal, but all I need is a front DS and it'll do the trail.

 

[sixstringsteve]

2 days. Is everyone excited? You've still got time to install your CB...

 

[sixstringsteve]

a few of my friends who were going to be in group 1 have bailed, so there's room for 3-5 more rigs in group 1.

 

[SmokinCamel]

Just got to put my doors on and I'm set

 

[sixstringsteve]

sweet. I just have to take my doors off, add a mirror, then I'm set

 

[SmokinCamel]

With the high on Friday being 69 in salt lake, I figure the high will be 60ish. So the low will be low 40's. Maybe even into the 30's. Yeah I want my doors lol Got the passenger one on. Gotta wait till tomorrow for the driver's. A friend is bringing me the latching unit to replace mine that broke.

 

[sixstringsteve]

nice

I may make an appearance, yesterday I redid my fan shroud for better cooling and trimmed the ARB bumper for more clearance with the 33's. Depends mainly on how much homework I get done before then. And most rigs with belly and skid protection can get by with 31's but may need a strap in a few spots. I have ran it with 31's before but scraped a bit, the long wheelbase saved my butt a couple of times.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Just a reminder, group 1 is for vehicles with either 33s or a locker. (see the first 5 pages of this thread to understand why)

Man, I've got some work to do tomorrow.

Does anyone have a plastic picnic table they could bring up? It might be nice to use to prep food or things like that. We're pretty much just camping in a field with zero amenities.
