Well, spool aren’t all that really. Lockers are better, and some of us have become dedicated to selectable lockers for stuff that sees street yous

I’ll let Sister Bent tell you about her spool story

I have an arb just no skills to do the gear setup. It’s something I’m going to learn after BB. This is just to get by.

@Fastereddie and his brother came by to make sure I didn’t f things up. Locker is working and truck got a quick run around the hood. Trailer is a good fit also. Working on non essential stuff now. Spare tire swapped out which required a little work. Console is bolted in. Jack handle is hidden in the bumper and jack will be mounted tomorrow.

This is two fold. We have a customer wanting something different for his race van and mentioned urban camo and whatever we end up with is going on the 77 also. What say the collective? I'm not fond of the left one after I installed it.

 

[Bent77]

Actually think I like the middle one the best

Left one looks like some mid 50s dining table pattern

 

[AgDieseler]

Middle one turned 90 degrees seems in keeping with the early versions of small pattern digital camo patterns, not unlike the little-used MARPAT.

Left one looks like some mid 50s dining table pattern

I think it’s a take on the Kryptek pattern that’s become popular in the hunting world, and is supposedly quite effective. If the race van is looking to put a stalk on some disaffected urban mule deer...

I'm good with middle or right. Definitely turn the middle one like David said.

 

[mrk5]

I like the right.

Loading up the shit box to do retrieval in Parker, AZ. I love pulling around million dollar race trucks with my Blazer. I'm at a place called the sand pile, and it's famous for end over end diggers. I need a go pro and will add them to the truck for next years work. If there's anyone nearby come out and I'll get you a pass, get with an official in the pits and radio race mile 8.4. Pits are directly across from the BlueWater Indian Casino at the airport.

 

[Desert_K5]

Rolling out. Yeah buddy, a little time in the dirt don't hurt.

 

[Desert_K5]

On station. It’s dirt day. Much needed break.

 

[Desert_K5]

Already have a bent leaf spring lol. ORD coming up

 

[Desert_K5]

Thankfully it’s slow but the go fast guys haven’t lined up yet.

 

[Desert_K5]

Okay. Guys with the longer rear springs. I only want to do this once. Are they better for longer travel? I will run the shocks through the body no problem. Is it worth it for a faster ride through the desert? @Stephen they will be your springs

 

[Desert_K5]

10 cars and 6100 trucks (spec trophy trucks)

 

[Desert_K5]

Roaming around in the Arizona sand and sun. It’s 87 degrees with a breeze. Nap time lol.

 

[Desert_K5]

First casualty of the spec class racing. Oooof

 

[Desert_K5]

Last one for the night.

 

[Desert_K5]

This makes me feel okay about my trailer loading skills. Guys are having a rough go at it
