For this year it looks like we will be having a smaller group size.

Myself
r3ddog
ktmoutfront
Russell
The Turd
Chris Perry

We have The Turd as our newby this year and ktmoutfront as our 35" tire open front guy.

The Turds blazer looks pretty nice and he's got all the right parts so I think he'll do just fine, ktmoutfront has been around long enough that I'm not worried about his open front with 35" tires. Plus he can haulass if need be:whistle:

It looks as though everyone in the group so far has had at least one shakedown run on their rigs if not more as they haven't changed much of anything this year. That's good news, keep wheeling and shaking them down.

If there are more guys thinking about this run I'm going to ask that you;
1 get your registration done ASAP
2 understand that I will be setting the limit this year at 10 total vehicles including myself and r3ddog as the leaders.

If there are 4 more of you out there that meet the rules for the run please sign up,




Please remember now we have to beat 10:41 set last year.:D

I'm impressed planning for 2o15 already. :waytogo:
 
LOL!

I'm the other guy on 35's, or do I not count?

No major changes on my rig either, just a leaf spring to 4 link on coils conversion on the rear, NP241 upgraded to Magnum Box/205, Detroit locker upgraded to ARB in the rear. :haha:

Good thing I'll have plenty of time to shake it down before BB'15

You don't count, you've been through with 35" tires and you have two lockers, and your Brent and Amber I know you'll have your **** together.

Only change to my truck this year is a MSD Atomic efi. The Holley analog system sucked. It runs really nice now. :D
 
Coordinating spare tires here

I'll carry a 42" spare on standard 8X6.5" pattern, I think 3.5" backspace.

I think r3ddog has a 35" spare on standard 6 lug stuff.

Chris did you end up with a spare last year?

The Turd has been looking for a spare as well.

I'm willing to share mine if needed.
 
I'll have a second spare back at camp as well that I could carry if needed, but it's still just a 6 lug 35.
 
Yes, got a 43" 8x6.5 I'll be straping to the roof of the cage
 
Everyone needs to remember to pack a spare ignition module too! I have one for a '97 vortec (should have had it last year).
 
my spare is in route will be here thursday 39.5 x13.50x17 8 on 6.5 :thumb:

6:55 minutes was a great day even with a welding session on a frame in the middle.
