I had a lot of great photo ops today, but I didn't have my camera!

Sweet shot, Mario.

Ok, you've peaked my intrest. I haven't trail tested my rig yet.

I ordered my UCA's and rear diff skid plate a month ago. They say "still in production". Not gonna stop me from goin to wharton though. I hope the atsion office is open. I want 2 more topos. I was lookin around on mapquest. There looks like some cool stuff north of where the atsion off is. Wouldn't try to to get around up there without them.

Then Batso it is for the topos. You know i'm down for some trails Tom. I lifted my front end up 1 1/2 inches for now till I get the rest of my lift together and have my hankooks mounted on a set of 16x8" cragar soft 8's. I'm probably fabbing up lift shackles tomorrow out of 3/8" flat stock.

I have a good bit of recovery equiptment now with a hilift and winch kit. Before you brought this up, I was thinkin about goin out there alone since I can do self recovery now. And you know, there's never a lack of trees in that forest :gimp:

I finished fabbing a monster set of spring shackles today. I used 3/8 flatstock. Super strong. Waiting for the paint to dry :drool3: . Gonna' have them on within the next couple of days. They will give me an extra 1 1/2 inch lift in the rear for now. I have tapered 1 1/2" blocks for the rear (tapered to correct my pinion angle) that are going on when I get my UCA's to give me 3 inches total SL. Then i'll have to decide wether to do a BL or not. I want those sliders on asap. :wallbash:
