Lots of snow still in the mountains, it is melting quickly and turning to MUD, $17 at the car wash and she still isn't clean! Had a very good day with the local 4x4 club, winched quite a few Jeeps out of the snow... :Wow1:

You need to buy a pressure washer man! Can't believe you been into trucks all these years and don't own a pressure washer! I bought one right after the Patrol got finished! ;)

I know man, it's one of those things that I seem to always have something else to spend the money on, you know how it goes...

Hey, Brant, small world! It's been several years. Last time our paths crossed I believe we were shooting Patron on a roof top bar in Nashville.

Wow! Small world is right! How are things going? Still in the Nashville area? I am no longer doing the jewelry thing that brought me to Nashville. Had short stint working for CBI and now am working for the local Toyota dealership as a parts manager. So I would say I am moving on up! Hope all is well for you and you are doing the same! Send me PM if you like.

We are off to St. Anthony sand dunes this weekend. I should have some great photos for everyone on Tuesday. :Wow1:

Got to get the tail pipe extended out the back today and a few other small things to dial in before the trip. :ylsmoke:

Dang Brant! I try to keep all 4 on the sand all the time, 6,000 pounds plus doesn't fly very well... It should be a fun weekend either way.

5800 lbs does! Lol. The hardest part was getting the back end off the ground. With that much down travel, it just wanted to ride a wheelie. Since I was going for smooth and not height. Lol.

So, it is already June 2013, our trip is looking like it is going to take place 3/22/14 to 4/6/14. I feel the Cruiser is ready to make the Journey and I have the upmost confidence in it right now. In preparation for the trip I have realized the I need more room! A few months ago I installed a new engine in my friend Steve who is the lead fabricator at CBI Offroad. Steve in turn is going to build me one of there new prototype roof racks! I think there design is outstanding as it is a modular design meaning that you can remove the sides if you don't want or need them. He has taken some measurements and progress should start next week, I'll be sure to post up how it's coming along. :ylsmoke:

Had a great weekend fishing and camping with my son and RMP&O this weekend. We camped at this spot the first night then headed up Grey's River the second.

Well I changed my mind, after much thought I have decided to go with a fully welded tubular roof rack. I was concerned that the eleventy billion bolts that hold everything together may come loose after a few thousand mile down wash board roads.
I just dropped a pile of $$$ on everything I need to completely rebuild the front and rear axles, damn, I have a lot to do now before the end of the month when I am supposed to go to Colorado to meet my dad and my friend from Tucson. Hell I may even spring for 4:88's... Don't tell the wife...
