I went to moab in 2014 but didn't bring the truck. 2015 was the big thrash, spent way to much money to make it. I have brought the truck to 2015, 2017, 2022, and 2023 years
Took it for a spin around the block, it’s low on trans fluid but the first crank it fired up.
Happy 68th birthday in heaven Dad.

Done it’s ready to go to Moab.
Jinx it’s leaking gas 
Fuel line fixed got a half turn out of it…
Took it for a drive and it’s burning excess overfilled fluids out.

Just because some is gooder, more is not always betterer.
Well I filled the transfer case up to the top and didn’t let it all run out I just tossed the fill plug in.
Usually it just leaks out but for once it finally all sealed up right. It either leaks and works fine or it doesn’t leak and doesn’t work right. Not sure about this witch craft it has going on…
Swing the dead chicken over your head in the other direction.
I thought it was salt going over?
Back from Moab,
Damage report, passenger door got a ding, passenger rear wheel bed side got scrapes, bungee cord on the rear bump stop zip tie broke. somewhere between the trans and tcase is leaking again... few scrapes and dings on the rear hangers and link brackets. Passenger windo shattered
It's officially done, you won't see it on anymore rock trails unless it's the easy stuff. This year I was getting a little bored and putting the truck into spots to see what it would do. It wasn't built to be a rock crawler, it just happens to work pretty good at it...
I'm going to sell the PRP seats and go back to the stock bench seat, these are to comfortable and make me want to do stupid stuff.
Ran fins and things thursday, Friday was backwards bill, saturday was flat iron mesa, sunday was fins and things again so my buddy flat fender justin could redeem himself then we ran over to potato salad hill, I got the front wheels all the way to the top but the undercut on the rear it wouldn't go, slight tension on a tow strap and it crawled it.

I was surprised that the window was intact on Friday, since it wasn't in the front channel.
It was still impressive how well it did on the chute!

The window has been like that for years lol, it’s almost To impressive if I keep it up it will be a beer can. Changing directions I want to keep this truck around. Found myself doing stupid lines to make it interesting.I was surprised that the window was intact on Friday, since it wasn't in the front channel.

If I didn’t care about this truck it would have 1 tons lockers , magnum , cage , cut bed and shocks through the floor sporting 40’s
That’s what a second truck is for.
Congrats on taking a very hard adult position to not tear it up more. Nice work.
Everytime I acquire another one I say that
Don’t have any room unfortunately or the build would have been started 3 years ago.
Thanks, it’s hard but the right thing to do. I got to show my friends a special place to me and have a little fun. Someone else can take that torch on… it will still go on trails but not like it has been. #notacrawler
I totally get it. I told myself I don't need to take the Crawlabago down harder trails after beating it up last year. I'll build a dedicated truck for more difficult trails eventually.
That’s a main reason I bought a rzr. My new blazer is just to nice to destroy on rocks. Kinda sucks considering the money I’ve got into the axles and suspension and drivetrain but I justify it by saying I can now do all the burn outs and stupid shit I want and not worry about breaking it.
Pics of the damage?
