So for the last week and a half or so I have been gone to South Dakota. Went wheeling with a couple local guys and 3 other guys from my club.

Todd Zick from Z Fab Off Road was kind enough to show us around, great guy.

We ran several sections on Hal Johns on the first day, Calamity on the next day. Sight seeing for a couple days than came back and ran Full Size and Kong. Last day we ran some more sections on Hal Johns.

Everyone we met on the trail was really cool. The wheeling out there is awesome I will defiantly be going back

Heres the pics I will get some more up along with some sight seeing pics of Mt. Rushmore and a couple other things later

Just really like this pic of Horton

Got to show off the flex a little bit:D

The sqeeze on Hal Johns trail very very tight, tight enough I am just a bit narrower now

The waterfall on Hal Johns has changed somewhat, there is a large rock in the bottom of it that makes it dang near impossible for trucks to get lined up on it. Well I have been seeing pics of it for years and wanted to try to do it. I had to crawl up on the rock somewhat to even get my front tires on the water fall. When my front started to climb my slider hung up on the rock and pivoted my whole truck around. With my tires turned to full lock and trying to climb without pivoting any more a front axle popped. Well this is the result of that. It took 4 winches and one anchor rig to get me out of this situation. Not sure how much time it took but it was a while.

The wheeling there was awesome, I need to figure out how to make my truck narrower but retain the chevy look:D

Looks like a headlight came up missing between the first and second pics.:grin: And that new winch looks good on there. Glad you had fun! Now get down here with some tools to and a day to help me rebuild a tranny.

LOL yah I came down on my front spring hangers sliders whatever solid metal I had I came down on it pretty hard, it broke the little plastic thing that the adjuster screw goes into.

I will be down soon just have to figure out exactly when and how to get enough time to come and help!:D
 
No worries, I have been working pretty slowly on it. I haven't even gotten the trans out yet, but the TC is out and looking like a pile of grease sitting on my floor. I now know why the shift lever felt so sloppy, the trans is original.:doah: Took me 20 minutes to find the bolts that hold the TC to the adapter under all the grease that has accumulated.
 
Very cool pics, especially that last one! I see a possible future calendar pic :D
 
looks like a good time.too small a space for my sheetmetal but good for a narrowed one like yours.
 
Holy Sh!t....now I see what you were talking about..
Looks like a blast Eric...can't wait for BB10!!!!!
 
Awesome pics. SD is a sweet place to wheel. Body damage is guaranteed part of it though. If you are ever headed back that way and want another rig to go let me know and maybe I can. We have ran around on the camp 5 road and a few others but where is calamity?

Calamity is just off camp 5 road over by full size
 
i wanna go there. we don't have that stuff in orygun

Well I will let every one know when I am going again and maybe we can make a trip out of it.

but beware as ssyork said body damage is a guarantee the only rig with us who didn't get a dent was a cj 3b with toy axles and 35" pitbulls
 
Searchin around and came across this thread. Here are a few pics from ssyork's and my trip last July
