Now we're getting somewhere Finally got my new shoes! Four 315/75r16 bfg tako2s look small on this rig but they are pretty substantial. highway cruising is improved with lower engine rpm and i now realize just how gakked the last set of tires was. on those wasted meats the truck had kind of a...

Trying the pics again Here are some pics from Pillsbury. Seems the 1st try didn't show up. Seriously cool spot, especially on a quiet weekend. Beautiful scenery, amazing wildlife, and seemingly unregulated wheelin and gun play...yay! Just took the truck for a drive and steering is perfect...

Chunk o progress moving forward! At long last I've installed my rebuilt steering box. Pretty straight forward, just a few hours of righteous wrenching on a very leaky SOB, but what a difference! That box has been busted since I got the truck so i never had the joy of turning it right. Just in...

Well its been a work trip, family visiting, moving my own family into a new house and building an addition there but I finally got to take the mammoth off road. Being a sage woman, the Ol Lady suggested I go camp with my brother instead of going to visit her mom so we went to lake Pillsbury in...

Pappawheely, I'd be lying if I said your rig hasn't influenced me. I used to be involved in the desert racing scene and always drooled over those big chase trucks. Now it's time for my own!

Hello All! I have been lurking about on here for a little while now gathering ideas and now it's time for me to speak up. Up until 7 months ago I did most of my adventuring on an HD ironhead chopper, the only problem is you can't fit a baby seat on one. Enter my new set of wheels! What we...
