Wow He`s bushy! My wife's parents had a few of them and one now...not that long of fur though. Cool!
Not Much new
Well I have been extremely busy with school and work. My work days are friday-monday killing any wheeling time with other friends. I forgot how time consuming homework was. I finally was able to take the jimmy out on an afternoon run. I installed new kp bearings and bushings from ORD and rotated the tires.
Pretty funny tree we saw
Here is the little bit of snow we found
Mt Lassen in the background
about 6800ft
Happy to be up here!
We couldnt figure out but this tree looks like it exploded
We got to test out the bumper and pulled some fallen trees off the trail
Then drove under one that wasn't fully broken off
Another over look coming down Soda ridge
Here is a panorama of the tree
I also picked up a viair compressor to wire up and use for oba instead of filling an air tank every outing.
It fits perfectly under the spare tire carrier
With the hilift in place
Will report more when it gets installed and should be wheeling more once school gets out.

Yeah definitely! I wheeled with a yota once... they dont hammer down like a fullsize! I hear there's a lot of trails up in high lakes.
Have a link to that compressor?
Hey sorry for the way late response. here is the link to it http://www.amazon.com/VIAIR-150-PSI...=1432238333&sr=8-12&keywords=viair+compressor
how many amps is your alternator? I think I'm going to upgrade before the trip, mine is only a 60 amp.
Thanks man
No problem, I still haven't gotten around to installing mine yet but should be doing it here within the week.
We survived the Rubicon. This was the longest wheeling trip I have been on, it was a blast! We loved finally getting out of town for a few days and it was my first weekend off since February. The truck drove great the whole way there and back. It was about a 400 mile round trip. Amanda, my girlfriend kicked ass and spotted us all through the tricky sections.
Here we are at Uncle toms cabin friday with skunked and my friend nick
We went in through wentworth springs friday
Skunked, Me and Nick
Airing down and removing mud flaps
8psi worked killer!
We have a ton of pictures!
the jimmy
pretty cool plaque
Our trail guide nick with his toyota on 33s
comming out the trail to loon, Skunked
The Slabs were so cool! nothing like I imagined
Some random video the first day

nick showing us his trail signs
Ellis creek bridge
We had to improvise and make a custom soft top for the trail to keep the sun off us
Out on the trail
Amanda doing her spotting duties like a badass
"that stuff is easy"-Amanda
Shots from somewhere around buck island lake
The truck crawled down and up anything with the double and the manual trans
On our way up the hill from buck to find a camping spot for saturday night, all the ones along the lake were filled up!
The camping set up
Nice Spot for a picture, we only made it 5.75 miles the first day!
I had to ensure everyone knew the Ck5ers were here
Sunday!

Starting up Cadillac hill, and by this time I managed to follow nick through squeeze rock and the jimmy was a little wider than his stock looking toyota. We managed to get a little rubicon rock love going on.
These tires worked killer the whole weekend! The front passenger burped air once but we were able to air it back up to 8psi
At the top of Cadillac hill on observation point
The crew, It was an awesome time!

The Damage! Most of the dents and damage for us occurred between rubicon bridge and the start of Cadillac hill. I managed to scrape up and bust out my passenger tail lens going through squeeze rock then busted out my driver lens backing up into a rock. I also finished off my already cracked mirror weaving through the trees past Rubicon springs.
Drivers damage
The passenger got it pretty good, not too bad though
Amanda wasnt too pleased with me not following her spotting
its only sheet metal though
Driver side replaced
Passenger side looking better already!
IT was a great trip and hella fun to get together with a bunch of ck5 guys, I look forward to going out with them again and hopefully meeting more of us. Now it is time to tear into the jimmy and change the fluids
