how many people here actually wheel?

lord,
please bless me w/a lwb crewcab k30,

i go about every weekend, really don't have any pics, no1 wants to get out in the knee deep muck to snap a pic, altho i have a few i'll see if i can find them, i plead the 5th on where i've wheeled, make farmers mad :)
 
I wheel about 15 times a year. Used to go a lot more when I was in high school. Now everyone is a bunch of pussies about it. The K5 is a daily driver/tow rig, do I get any extra points for that? I'd probably wheel a lot more if I 1.)Had more people willing to go 2.)This were my first true passion in auto sports. My Camaros come before the K5 does.
 
i went 34 times in 07... then i blew the 3rd trany out of the explorer.... haven't wheeled that much since then. maybe once every 2 months now. my girlfriend wrote down every time i went so she could hold it against me. :)
 
I went about 3-4 times last year with the SOCKO/BGM Crew. The rest of the guys and girl (halfpint82) try to get out about once a month. Only that many times because most of them were one or two noght campingwheeling trips and I don't like to be away from family too much and I tend to miss a lot of my boys sporting activities. Here are some pics:

I try to wheel as much as possible but everytime I go out I find something that I dont like and wont go back until I change it. like my suspension travel. This pic is from October and the truck is completely flexed out with the rear tire off the ground. Dont plan on going back unil I get the 56's in the rear and move the front shackle.



this is a pic of my friends truck. When I met this guy about a year and a half ago this truck was a 2wd dually that sat so low it would drag the frame on any small bump in the road. 3 months later it looked like this:

 
Just bought this rig yesterday, but i wheel almost every week. My job requires it here in the rain forest that is mobile, AL. but this rig will have many pics along with a couple of buddies we have 3 K10's and my new k5 almost ready to get really stuk in the swamps around here.
this is the before pic it wont stay like this long:D:D:D

They came out of an 80 chevy pickup that was used as a military air plane tug. they are front and rear steer and the brakes and steering are fully hydraulic and all of the brackets and mounts were a direct bolt in on the 2wd frame.

I dont know much about zf axles other than that they use them in monster trucks, so I really could not tell you for sure. he has been asked several times if they are zf axles but all we really know is that they came from an air plane tug, they are really strong and have really low gears.
