You guys and your big butts...
Thanks dude! I can't take credit for the work. It's all been my buddy taking care of it for me. Honestly I've been burnt out on not wheeling
2.5 weeks and we’re on the trail 
Rubicon! The trip was awesome, we had a great group. Just the right number of rigs. Monday morning I started my trek to the trail head at 8 am with a 180 mile stretch of highway. The truck surprisingly drives pretty good on the highway. (bias 42's not balanced, half-doors, stereo cranked up and ear plugs in)
@skunked ended up meeting me at the last gas station before we made the last road climb to the trail head. We met up with @530BLAZER and @offgridoffroad at the Loon Lake staging area. At about 1200 we started out on the trail after airing down and locking in the hubs. I was dubbed the trail leader since I ran the trail through two years ago. I tried to stay ahead of the group and somewhat show the way. Pictures are in no order in the Rubicon 2018 album.
We wheeled to the Soup Bowl, I took the first run at it. First time trying it, took a little assistance from some spotters but the truck made it up with no problem. Linking the truck made driving through everything much smoother.

Haha, Its a little much to daily drive. All my coworkers want me to drive it into work but I haven't yet.
Come up whenever. I met a guy in Novato a while ago that had a blue blazer that he took crawlin but I didn't get his number.

Well I found a rock right in the middle of the trail after taking the bypass around little slice. Came around a right turn and didn't even see it. Slid up and onto it, ended up being dished and I was unable to back off it or drive over it. @skunked gave me a tug to get back off it. Then we pushed on. We made it to buck island lake right before sunset on Monday night. It was awesome, we passed a bunch of u4 rigs set up for the bfg terrain takeover on the slabs
Found a tear in my new prp seat. They are being super cool about it and the seat is on its way back to them right now
Just the cover right? I'm glad they're standing behind the product.
Ya, it's just the cover but for some reason they said to send in the whole seat. Hopefully they replace the cover since it got some tree sap on it too
Guess I'll be Goin with prp haha
