We did a Little snakes wheelin today, didint see to many people out there. picked up quite a bit of trash that was on the side of the trail on rattlesnake. Still cant make WW with my 118'' wheelbase but I made it up Eagles nest for the first time with out a winch :D went up in less than 10 seconds its was sweet. but the rocks that someone stacked at the bottom helped out quite a bit im sure. :rolleyes:

Holy sh!t.............. where did all the rocks come from on the Nest????

I like seeing the "sharks tooth" being driven rather than being by passed. That's a cool little ride you have there.

I have no idea... ive never seen it that bad before. last time i was there there was only a few bigger rocks at the bottom. now its basicly a drive way.

Also i noticed a few new tracks that ive never seen before, One of witch was just before the big 2 ledges on rattle snake off to the right and the other set was as you are going down to waynes world right as you turn off that lead off to the the left... :mad:

Looks good man, congrats on makin' it up the nest! How do you like the 4-link? Does it feel like a totally different truck?

oh man it does feel totally different, it allows the truck to lean alot more before it even starts to feel tippy. way more stable than the 63''s that for sure.

thanks guys. Its funny i just got back from the snakes at around 3 and the truck is alreddy sitting in my garage with the front end all tore apart :rofl:

that looks like it turned out sweet! looks good too.
the nest looks like someone emptied a dump truck in front of it, wow!
W/W doesnt seem to like longer wheel bases, I always have to get a little agressive on it.

W/W is a bit tougher than it used to be, you just need a squirt of NOS :eek: did everything work the way that you hoped?
I got everything cut off of mine over the weekend, i got my X-member built tonight.

I was up there on Saturday and all of the rocks at eagles nest where already there. We stacked them more to try to get a really built LJ up it. He had to take the winch in the end. I did also because I would never try it in my rig. I was able to do Waynes world, probably the shorter wheel base. Did you happen to find a little 5 lb sledge with yellow handle at eagles nest? I pulled mine out to let someone borrow it and we can not find it. I think it may have got left up there. Nice truck and congrats on eagles nest.

Everything worked awesome... Needs some wheel spacers but i have that taken care of.

I remember when i was at the same point you are about 2 months ago. :D

It all pays off when it all put together and back to wheeling.



kmboren- sorry no sledge hammer didint realy stick around at the nest too long... like i said it was only me and my buddy clint so once i got up we were off...

I am sure you hear this often but, your rig is killer! Really a cool looking rig and it looks like it can preform even better than it looks. Thanks for the report.

That's sick man. I wish I would have went that route with mine in the first place. How much did it cost you doing it yourself if you don't mind me asking?
