Went wheeling today (4.26.12)

The pictures from my new camera are 20-30mb each so they're taking forever to upload... Here's the one video we took. I can't wait to have EFI so it doesn't run like crap on an angle

Pics to follow here sooner or later.

God that a beautiful rig! Sounds mean! Is you axle in the stock location? When you were on that stump your wheels were trurned to the left. It looks like you will have a ton of rubbage.

Awesome rig though. I love it!

Thanks dude! I have Kert's EZ inches up front with the axle 1.5" forward. That was at full stuff and it was almost rubbing but not quite. There was like 1mm left there

Ok. I was thinking if your wheels were straight it would crush those clean fenders. So you got some sweet calendar pics right?

 

[Z71paramedic]

Straight they're further from it actually

I think I got some pretty sweet ones, we'll see what everybody else thinks!

I'd drop the quality down a bit, no real reason to have that high a resolution for everyday stuff. When I got my new camera it was 15+MB a pic and I dropped it down so they were 4-6MB a piece and the quality still looks great.


Blazer looks great! You guys have some lava rock to crawl on out there?

I upload the full res ones to photobucket for backup purposes, then when I link them it makes the the standard 900 pixels on the long side.



The whole island is lava rock

The whole island is lava rock

I know, I just thought it was funny out of all that rock you climb up on a stump.

 

[Z71paramedic]

We drove over all the lava rock to get to the sweet stump

Photobucket was KILLING ME!!!!!

Thanks man!

The black one is an 88. It's got a stock TBI 350 with over 300,000 on it, stock 700r4/241(I think) and 8 lug 44/14ff with a 4" lift. His front sway bar really killed the flex up front and he did some plowing with the 14 bolt. Unfortunately his front/rear gears don't match so he was 2wd most of the day except for getting unstuck in those pics in the ruts. It was a good time!

Can't imagine getting to wheel in a place like that in a rig like yours. No shame- I'm jealous.

Thanks dude! It was probably the most scenic place I'll ever get to wheel. It was pretty incredible with dense jungle, rocky cliffs, regular old dirt road and everything else PLUS being 1,000+ft above sea level looking out over the ocean on almost the whole run. It was awesome!
