Finished up a good day of wheeling with a few friends today. Unfortunately, none of the other trucks that were supposed to join, came. So it was just my truck, still a good trip though...Afterwards me and my buddy with an FJ went out and did some rock posing to kill time.

haha thanks, the exhaust tip was a spur of the moment "why the hell not" purchase, and this trip definitely proved to me why I need more lift, a locking rear axle and why I need to get my sliders, which are sitting in my basement, welded on finally.

How much lift do you have currently? Looks like a 2" maybe?

And rock posing? Steve... you're better than that! :slap:

Yea currently I'm running the 2in bds lift. I've got 87 springs and the Tahoe take off springs for the rear sitting in my basement waiting for me to put them on. I think I'll have that done by the end of this upcoming week. It seems really stuffed when the pics are taken because I had 6 people in total in the truck. We were supposed to have 2 more trucks coming to distribute ride-alongs among tricks but everyone but me bailed last minute so all the ride alongs hopped in with me...and yea a couple rock posing shots I know haha but in a town like mine there isn't much to do for college kids besides go to parties, and since I don't do that, I drive around with my off roading buddies and drive over things in the woods haha
