"Merca" 
I thought maybe good ol' "W" had hijacked your thread for a minute there. I bet that rice burner went off like a "nucular" bomb when that head gasket went too.
Actually it probably just stopped running but you get the picture.

Yea, not much for action when it went but it did leave a oily milkshake all over the engine bay.

Action...
A couple buddies and myself took a few days for little mountain excursion/camping trip
Last bit of pavement
On the trail
"Forgot your campfire chair, give me 5 minutes"
Time to play
Time to eat
My well thought out cook station, the BL box was my block for the wind, it worked well actually
Camp
Time to go home, last year that tree covered our road in and we had to relieve it of a piece. Good thing my buddies green/tan chevy has a Cummins/Tons he pulled it out no problem

Good times. Man that's a huge tree that fell. Good reason to carry a chainsaw with you when you're out in the woods like that. I wonder how many other guys got up to that log and just had to turn around. Sub is looking good too. My question is, did you sleep in the back, because there would be enough room I would think.

Nothing like a little time in the woods.

Of course man I was quite comfortable too. Although it was a little chilly my 0* bag made all the difference.

Update:
Finally got around to putting my Airaid spacer on that I've had for almost two years, haha. It was actually more of a PITA then I thought it would be, mainly the nut for the fuel line clamp that is strategically placed in the tightest spot on the back side of the engine. Anyways its done and I took it for a spin in the neighborhood and a definite increase in the much needed HP department is noticeable. I also finally wired the lights on my bumper as running lights, sorry no pics of that atm.

I've always wondered if those spacers really did anything. I know they're real popular with Jeep owners for their 4.0 inline sixes. Good to hear some positive results on a good ol' V8.
Nice scenery too. I like to see a beach or lake shore with no crowds around.

I also found some time to reinstall my tow hooks on the front. The way the bumper brackets fit with the cross braces I had to make up some 1" spacers to get the hooks to work. Hopefully they're sturdy enough or I'll have to put some shackle mounts on the bumper.

oh and a little whoring 
I'd be a little nervous about pulling too hard on those tow hooks with the added leverage from those spacers.
