Wheelie!

Very Deep Mud

Glad we didn't camp off Marina Drive. This is where we usually camp. It was slime.

Matt with flat

Cyber on Truckhaven Road, day two.

Grant on Truckhaven Road

17 Palm Spring
 






cyber needs to invest in a 5 gallon jerry can.

The funny part is his rear bumper already has the mount for it. I kept the can when I sold him the bumper though. :dunno:


well i had one on the back of it for while after i got the bumper on.

but took it off cause i was afraid someone would think there was gas in it and steal it

then of course i lost my job and then lost my storage unit :(

eh well i will get another one soon i think plus i need to look into a better battery the one i have in there now SUCKS :fire:
 






Dual battery setup time buddy..
 






pics.. dialup beware

Got home last night about midnight. Thats 5 days of camping with 1 great day of wheeling.. Only 2 days were wet camping..

Only carnage was new bends and twists on the high lift jack, which I think is terminal and I managed to rip off the cb antenna mount. Since it had its own ground wire it still worked, even when lying across the bumper.

The new arms worked great.. and I had no issues with the c-clip eliminator on the front. Now I need to modify the upper buckets to allow the front spring to pull out of their pockets so I can get more droop.

Here is a temp link to the pics my friend "Rick" took..

FYI, you can get a new bar from Hi-lift. It looks to be about $22 for the 48" one.

And when you get a new one, find a new mounting spot!

By the way, what the hell did Matt hit to lose a bead? Was there a hidden rock in that ditch?
 






I was straddling the rut down the middle when the bank on the driver side gave way and the truck dropped about 2 feet. and the tire fell off the bead. I probably could have backed out of the hole on my own but I didn't want to take the chance of ruining the tire. These tires and wheels do not seem to hold a bead very well.
 






Did Dave ever sell his Stauns? I know they were for a 17" rim. I'm sure he'd cut you a nice deal Matt.;)
 












My Turn :D

As "Maniak's friend", thanks to Dave, Dave, Matt, and... uhh.. everybody else... that helped out with my emergency. Everything ended up OK, although there was a.... ummm.. "body mod" made. ;)
